Key Features

  • Compact, 5.3x wide-angle-to-medium telephoto zoom, ideal for a broad range of shooting situations from interiors and landscapes to beautiful portraits
  • Optical design optimized for use with Nikon DX-format digital SLRs for superior performance.
  • Vibration Reduction (VRII) minimizes the effects of camera shake, allowing handheld shooting at up to 4 shutter speeds slower than would otherwise be possible, assuring dramatically sharper images.
  • Two ED (Extra-low Dispersion) glass elements offer superior sharpness and color correction by effectively minimizing chromatic aberration.
  • Exclusive Nikon Silent Wave Motor (SWM) enables accurate, high-speed and quiet autofocus operation.
  • Three aspherical lens elements virtually eliminate coma and other types of lens aberration even when used at the widest aperture.
  • Nikon Super Integrated Coating (SIC) offers superior color performance and substantially reduced ghosting and flare.
  • Close focusing distance to 1.3 feet throughout the entire zoom range.
  • Rounded 7-blade diaphragm for more natural appearance of out-of-focus image elements.
  • Picture angle equivalent to focal length of 24-127.5mm (in 35mm format)
