Key Features
Fast, Prime Telephoto LensAutomatic Tripod Detection Mode
- Upgraded, fast, f/2 prime telephoto lens with Nikon VR II image stabilization and Nano Crystal Coat produces razor sharp images under the most demanding conditions including indoor sports, wildlife or portraiture.
Super ED Glass Element
- Engages VR image stabilization when mounted on a tripod to minimize camera shake that occurs at shutter release.
Three Focus Modes
- Super ED glass excels at eliminating secondary spectrum and correcting chromatic aberration and offers low refractive index and lower dispersion. Also Super ED Glass is more resilient to rapid temperature changes.
Exclusive Nikon Silent Wave Motor (SWM)
- A/M mode joins the familiar M/A and M modes, enhancing AF control versatility with fast, secure switching between auto and manual focus to accommodate personal shooting techniques.
Rugged Construction
- Enables fast, accurate and quiet autofocus.
Nikon VR II (Vibration Reduction) Image Stabilization
- Featuring enhanced dust and moisture-resistance, magnesium die-cast barrel construction and a protective meniscus front lens.
Nano Crystal Coat
- Vibration Reduction, engineered specifically for each VR NIKKOR lens, enables handheld shooting at up to 4 shutter speeds slower than would otherwise be possible, assuring dramatically sharper still images and video capture.
3 Extra-low Dispersion (ED) Elements
- Further reduces ghosting and internal lens flare across a wide range of wavelengths for even greater image clarity.
Internal Focus (IF)
- Offers superior sharpness and color correction by effectively minimizing chromatic aberration, even at the widest aperture settings.
Nikon Super Integrated Coating (SIC)
- Provides fast and quiet autofocus without changing the length of the lens, retaining working distance throughout the focus range.
Rounded 9-Blade Diaphragm
- Enhances light transmission efficiency and offers superior color consistency and reduced flare.
- Renders more natural appearance of out-of-focus image areas.
