Key Features
Fast, wide-angle to medium Telephoto AF-S zoom lens optimized for edge-to-edge sharpness on both the Nikon FX (23.9 x 36mm) and DX format image sensors.
Enhanced optical formulas engineered to produce exceptional sharpness, contrast and color, rendering outstanding image integrity.
Two Extra-low Dispersion (ED) elements and PGM aspherical lenses control chromatic aberrations while enhancing sharpness and contrast, even at the widest aperture settings.
Exclusive Nano Crystal Coat further reduces ghosting and flare for even greater image clarity.

Rugged construction with professional-grade dust and moisture resistance.
M/A focus mode switch enables quick response to changing situations between manual and auto focus operation.
