Nikon 18-200mm
f/3.5-5.6G IF-ED AF-S DX VR Zoom-Nikkor
Compact,
lightweight and packed with an array of advanced
features, the AF-S DX VR Zoom-Nikkor lens offers
18-200mm f/3.5-5.6G IF-ED focal range length and
11.1x zoom coupled with Nikon ED glass, Silent Wave
Motor and enhanced Vibration Reduction (VR II).
The VR II feature
enables significantly sharper handheld images at
slower shutter speeds and in a wider range of
lighting conditions than previous models. Equipped
with the new lens, users can take pictures at
shutter speeds up to four times slower than is
possible with a non-VR lens.
The combination of
the VR II technology, the 11x zoom feature and the
focal length range – equivalent to a 27mm-300mm lens
in 35mm format – means the AF-S DX VR Zoom-Nikkor is
an ideal total package for dedicated amateurs and
professionals alike.
Nikon’s second
generation VR technology offers users two modes to
match different shooting conditions. First, the VR
Normal Mode, which compensates for camera shake and
includes automatic panning detection, as well as
automatic tripod detection. And second, VR Active
Mode, which compensates for pronounced or regular
vibration, for example when shooting from a moving
vehicle.
Like all AF-S
Nikkors, the AF-S DX VR Zoom-Nikkor 18-200mm
f/3.5-5.6G IF-ED features the compact Silent Wave
Motor which enables high-speed autofocus that is not
only extremely accurate but also super quiet, making
it ideal for wildlife photography. In addition, the
new lens has a minimum focus distance of 0.5m
applicable to the entire zoom range.
