Product Information

This isn't particularly bothersome if you're photographing stationary subjects, but can pose difficulties when trying to shoot sports. It's a pain to have to slide the A - M switch back and forth to get to and from manual mode, and once you're there, manual focus is geared entirely too fast.

Bottom line is this new Nikon lens offers you superior color consistency, image stabilization at extended focal lengths, and a very versatile telephoto zoom! And you can't manually override focus manually by grabbing the focus ring and turning it to tweak focus. In addition to VR II image stabilization, it features some of Nikon’s latest lens technologies: Nikon’s exclusive Silent Wave Motor (SWM) for precise, fast, ultra-quiet autofocus operation, Super Integrated Coating (SIC) for enhanced performance in low-light and minimizing ghosting and flare, Tripod Detection Mode for reducing vibrations during tripod shooting and more.This is quite normal for this type of a lens and most other consumer zoom lenses also extend out when zoomed in. To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average. The optical formula comprises 17 lens elements arranged in 11 groups, including 2 ED glass elements and one high-refractive-index element. At the 55mm end of the zoom range, the angle of view is 28° 50', which is a little bit tighter than that of an 80mm lens on a 35mm body.
