Key Features

  • Versatile and compact 3.6x Zoom-NIKKOR brings the action to the photographer. Ideal for portraiture, family, sports, nature and wildlife.
  • Nikon's VR (Vibration Reduction) reduces the effects of camera shake, allowing hand-held shooting at up to 3 shutter speeds slower than would be possible for dramatically sharper images.
  • An ED (Extra-low Dispersion) glass element minimizes chromatic aberration, contributing to superior optical performance.
  • New compact rod-type Silent Wave Motor (SW) enables ultra-high speed auto focusing with exceptional accuracy and super-quiet operation.
  • Focus mode switch enables quick switching between A (Autofocus) and M (Manual Focus).
  • The lens is constructed with 15 elements in 11 groups.
  • 7-blade rounded diaphragm provides more natural out-of-focus highlights.
