  • Nikon VR II (Vibration Reduction) Image Stabilization
    Vibration Reduction is engineered specifically for each VR NIKKOR lens. VR II enables handheld shooting at up to 4 shutter speeds slower than would otherwise be possible, assuring dramatically sharper images.
  • Exclusive Nano Crystal Coat
    Further reduces ghosting and internal flare for even greater image clarity.
  • Three Extra-low Dispersion (ED) Elements
    Offers superior sharpness and color correction by effectively minimizing chromatic aberration, even at wide apertures.
  • Nikon Silent Wave Motor (SWM)
    Delivers fast, accurate and quiet autofocusing.
  • Three Focus Modes
    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.
  • Nikon Super Integrated Coating (SIC)
    Enhances light transmission efficiency and offers superior color consistency and reduced flare.
  • AF Memory Recall
    Allows instant return to a predetermined point of focus.
  • Rugged Construction
    Featuring enhanced dust and moisture-resistance, magnesium die-cast barrel construction and a protective meniscus front lens.
  • Close Focusing to 7.2 feet
    Focus to 7.2 feet in manual focus or 7.5 feet in autofocus, enabling striking image perspectives.
  • Fully compatible with Nikon TC-14E II, TC-17E II and TC-20E II (III) Teleconverters.
  • Rounded 9-Blade Diaphragm
    Renders more natural appearance of out-of-focus image areas.
