The AF-S VR 70-300 f/4.5-5.6G IF-ED is definitely a high-performance ultra telephoto zoom lens that is designed to fulfill the demands of both digital and 35mm format SLR consumers. It provides a 4.3x zoom with a range of 70-300mm (105-450mm with a DX Nikon D-SLR) and includes ED (Extra-low Dispersion) glass elements that will ensure superior optical operation. This specific lens incorporates Nikon’s second-generation vibration reduction system (VR II) which allows versatile hand-held shooting by way of stabilizing the image to the corresponding scope of employing a shutter speed which is four stops faster when compared with a traditional lens (as determined by Nikon performance test). The SWM (Silent Wave Motor) and IF (Internal Focusing) ensure fast and silent focusing action, and also the nine-blade rounded diaphragm causes out-of-focus aspects merge easily to form natural-looking, unified backgrounds.

Key Features:

• 4.3x high-power zoom with a range of 70-300mm. Equivalent to 105-450mm when used with a DX format D-SLR camera.
• SWM (Silent Wave Motor) enables quiet automatic focusing with quick and convenient switching between autofocus and manual operation.
• IF (Internal Focusing) design for fixed lens length and non-rotating front element allows the use of circular polarizing filters and lens-mounted flash accessories.
• VR II offers the equivalent stability of a shutter speed that is 4 stops faster (as determined by Nikon performance test). Normal Mode counters hand-held vibration and Active Mode reduces mechanically-induced vibrations.
• 2 ED glass elements minimize chromatic aberration across the entire zoom range while ensuring high resolution and contrast.
• Focus options - Automatic with manual override and Manual only.
• 9-blade rounded diaphragm makes out-of-focus elements blend together smoothly for natural-looking backgrounds.
• 67mm diameter filter attachment size (non-rotating).
