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.
  • Vibration Reduction (VR II) minimizes the effects of camera shake allowing photographers to shoot as many as four shutter speeds slower than would otherwise be possible, assuring dramatically sharper images.
  • New tripod detection mode reduces vibration that may occur due to shutter release when mounted on a tripod.
  • Nikon's Silent Wave Motor (SWM) enables ultra-high-speed autofocusing with exceptional accuracy and powerful, super-quiet operation.
  • Exclusive Nano Crystal Coat and a meniscus protective glass element combine to further reduce ghosting and flare for even greater image clarity.
  • Three Extra-low Dispersion (ED) elements control chromatic aberrations while enhancing color, sharpness and contrast, even at the widest aperture settings.
  • Rugged, reliable and lightweight, this lens features a magnesium die-cast barrel and professional-grade dust- and moisture-resistant construction.
  • New A/M focus mode provides fast, secure switching between auto and manual focus operation.
