Features:

Close-Range Correction

Using Nikon’s innovative floating element design, each lens group moves independently to achieve focus providing high performance at both near and far distances.

Nikon Silent Wave Motor

A significant innovation in AF lens technology, Nikon’s Silent Wave Motor uses ultrasonic (inaudible) vibrations—rather than a gear system—to focus the lens, providing incredibly smooth, silent and precise autofocus operation.

M/A Focus Mode Switch

When fine manual focusing is needed, simply rotate the lens focus ring—M/A mode allows you to seamlessly override the AF system with virtually no time lag.

Super Integrated Coating

Nikon‘s Super Integrated Coating enhances light transmission efficiency and offers superior color consistency and reduced lens flare.
