Nikon's classic lens reaches new heights with the addition of Vibration Reduction. Now faster, stronger, and steadier than ever, this wide-angle to medium telephoto lens produces exceptional results, a fitting lens for even the most demanding professional use. With an optical construction that assures integrity of image quality right to the edge of the frame, powerful VR minimises blur to capture the image with breathtaking clarity. Rugged and resistant build quality performs seamlessly and reliably out in the elements. Professional Quality A fast f/2.8 aperture allows for equally high-quality results in low light settings and across the full zoom range. Design of the 20 lens elements counters colour fringing, chromatic aberration and controls distortion. A Nano Crystal Coat reduces ghosting and flare for stunningly sharp detail. Mighty Vibration Reduction Nikon's VR system effectively offers a four-stop advantage. So even high-zoom and hand-held photography maintains consistent precision. Silent Wave Motor Nikon's Silent Wave Motor gives you the power of ultra-fast and ultra-quiet autofocus performance, superb for capturing fast action, shooting movies, or discrete nature photography.
