A high-speed, high-performance prime lens for dedicated wildlife and sports photographers features Nikon's VR image stabilization and Nano Crystal Coat.
Key Features- Super-fast, telephoto lens, optimized for edge-to-edge sharpness on both the Nikon FX- (23.9 x 36mm) and DX-format image sensors.
- New tripod detection mode reduces vibration that may occur due to shutter release when mounted on a tripod.
- Exclusive Nano Crystal Coat and a meniscus protective glass element combine to further reduce ghosting and flare for even greater image clarity.
- Rugged, reliable and lightweight, this lens features a magnesium die-cast barrel and professional-grade dust- and moisture-resistant construction.
- Fully compatible with Nikon TC-14E II, TC-17E II and TC-20E II (III) Teleconverters
- Nikon VR II (Vibration Reduction) Image Stabilization. Vibration Reduction, engineered specifically for each VR NIKKOR lens, enables handheld shooting at up to 4 shutter speeds slower than would otherwise be possible, assuring dramatically sharper still images and video capture.
- Nikon's Silent Wave Motor (SWM) enables ultra-high-speed autofocusing with exceptional accuracy and powerful, super-quiet operation.
- Three Extra-low Dispersion (ED) elements control chromatic aberrations while enhancing color, sharpness and contrast, even at the widest aperture settings.
- New A/M focus mode provides fast, secure switching between auto and manual focus operation.
