70-300mm f/4.5-5.6G AF-S VR NIKKOR
The AF-S VR 70-300 f/4.5-5.6G IF-ED is a high-performance super telephoto zoom lens that has been designed to meet the demands of both digital and 35mm format SLR users.
It offers a 4.3x zoom with a range of 70-300mm (105-450mm on a DX Nikon D-SLR) and features ED (Extra-low Dispersion) glass elements that ensure superior optical performance.
This lens incorporates Nikon’s second-generation vibration reduction system (VR II) that allows flexible hand-held shooting by stabilizing the image to the equivalent extent of using a shutter speed that is four stops faster when compared with a conventional lens (as determined by Nikon performance test).
The SWM (Silent Wave Motor) and IF (Internal Focusing) ensure fast and quiet focusing action, and the nine-blade rounded diaphragm makes out-of-focus elements blend smoothly to produce natural-looking, harmonious backgrounds.
Edge-to-edge brilliance
The superior resolving power of this full-frame lens ensures crisp, high-resolution images throughout the zoom range, even when shooting wide open.
Extra-low dispersion (ED) glass counters chromatic aberration for images with vivid colour and perfectly rendered contrast all the way to the edge of the frame. The nine-blade rounded diaphragm enables even, natural-looking bokeh.
Superior control
Built to partner Nikon’s fast DSLRs, this lens responds swiftly and precisely. An electromagnetic diaphragm ensures precise exposures at high frame rates.
A/M and M/A focus mode switches inherited from Nikon’s professional lenses make it possible to control manual-focus override simply by turning the focus ring. The preferred option of sports photographers, M/A mode allows switching with virtually no time lag. The A/M focus mode is less sensitive to prevent unintentionally switching to manual mode. Both the focus ring and the zoom ring boast a knurled covering that enables a firm grip for smooth control.
