The AF-S VR 105 f/2.8G IF-ED brings the advantages of vibration reduction (VR) into the domain of Macro photography. It gives you high-resolution, high-optical overall performance for both digital and 35mm film format SLR cameras. This lens features Nikon’s second-generation vibration reduction system (VR II) that allows adaptive hand-held shooting by stabilizing the picture for the equivalent constancy of a shutter speed which is 4 stops faster when compared to a traditional lens (as determined by Nikon performance test). The SWM (Silent Wave Motor) and IF (Internal Focusing) ensure noiseless autofocusing together with speedy and convenient changing between autofocus and manual operation. Optical performance is improved by an ED (Extra-low Dispersion) glass element which decreases chromatic aberration, and Nano Crystal Coat which dramatically reduces flare, permitting finely defined, clear photos.
