Nikon 55 - 200mm f/4-5.6G ED AF-S DX Autofocus Zoom
Lens
AF-S DX Zoom-Nikkor 55-200mm
f/4-5.6G ED A compact,
lightweight and affordable
3.6x high-power telephoto
zoom DX — ideal for use with
Nikon digital SLRs
This ultra compact,
lightweight telephoto zoom
lens has a 3.6x 55-200mm
focal range and offers a
remarkable
cost-to-performance ratio.
Its optics are optimized for
use with Nikon digital SLRs,
and it is ideally suited to
the new Nikon D50.
The compact zoom lens offers
powerful zoom performance of
55-200mm (providing a
picture angle equivalent to
an 82.5-300mm lens in 35mm
format) and is suitable for
everything from candid
portraits to sports, nature
and wildlife photography.
The newly developed compact
SWM (Silent Wave Motor) has
given rise to an ultra
compact, lightweight design
with excellent handling
characteristics. Including
the new compact SWM, the
AF-S DX Zoom-Nikkor 55-200mm
f/4-5.6G ED measures a
compact Ø68 x 79mm (2.7 x
3.1 in.) and weighs
approximately 255g (9 oz.).
For optics, two ED glass
elements achieve high
resolution and contrast
while minimizing chromatic
aberration and other forms
of distortion. The new
compact SWM built into the
lens offers the smooth and
quiet autofocus performance
that users have come to
expect from our existing SWM.
By using this lens and the
new AF-S DX Zoom-Nikkor
18-55mm f/3.5-5.6G ED lens,
photographers have a focal
length range from wide-angle
18mm to telephoto 200mm
(providing a picture angle
equivalent to a 27-300mm
lens in 35mm format),
covering an extremely wide
variety of subjects and
shooting situations. The
range of these ultra
compact, lightweight lenses,
combined with its
high-quality performance,
will expand the photographic
horizons of Nikon Digital
SLR owners. The AF-S DX
Zoom-Nikkor 18-55mm
f/3.5-5.6G ED lens will be
simultaneously released with
the AF-S DX Zoom-Nikkor
55-200mm f/4-5.6G ED lens.
Note: This lens is not
compatible with 35mm [135]
or IX240 format film
cameras. |
