Optimized Aperture:
With a fast f/2.8 maximum aperture, this lens is engineered for edge-to-edge sharpness on both Nikon FX- and DX-format image sensors. On DX sensor cameras, it provides a 35mm focal length equivalence of 600mm, making it a versatile choice for various photographic scenarios.
Vibration Reduction (VR) Image Stabilization:
The Nikon VR system combats the effects of camera shake, allowing confident handheld telephoto shooting, even in challenging low-light conditions. The Tripod Detection mode minimizes vibration caused by shutter release when mounted on a tripod.
Silent and Precise Autofocus:
The internal focus system, coupled with Nikon’s Silent Wave Motor (SWM), delivers fast, precise, and nearly silent autofocus. The lens supports various focus modes, including A/M mode for swift transitions between auto and manual focus. Manual focus override enables immediate control with a turn of the focus ring.
Advanced Coatings:
Three extra-low dispersion lens elements control chromatic aberrations, enhancing color, sharpness, and contrast, even at wide apertures. The Nano Crystal Coat and meniscus protective glass element reduce ghosting and flare, contributing to exceptional image clarity.
Rugged Construction:
Crafted with a magnesium die-cast barrel and professional-grade dust- and moisture-resistant construction, this lens is designed to withstand demanding shooting environments. The wide, rubberized focus ring, rotatable tripod/monopod collar, and included accessories like a drop-in filter holder, two-piece lens hood, and a hard trunk case add to its versatility and convenience.
A/M Focus Mode:
The lens introduces a new A/M focus mode for rapid and secure switching between auto and manual focus operation, providing greater flexibility and control.
