Product Description

From the Manufacturer

Very lightweight magnesium die-cast construction body design (approximately 7.6 pounds) with tripod mounting foot. Easier to carry and handle under demanding action conditions.

Exclusive Nikon Silent Wave Motor provides ultra-high-speed and accurate autofocus along with super-quiet operation. Fast, precise, and accurate, this Nikon technology adds significantly to picture taking performance.

M/A mode provides instant switching from autofocus to manual focus with virtually no time lag, even during AF servo operation. A quick touch-up on focus without delay or slack response can make the difference between crisp sharpness or just slightly out of focus.

Optical design features three high performance Extra Low Dispersion (ED) optical glass elements to control secondary chromatic aberrations. Produces very sharp and high contrast images throughout the focusing range and at every f-stop. Legendary ED glass ensures crisply sharp focusing throughout the color spectrum.

Closest focusing distance during AF operation is approximately 16 feet; provides reproduction ratio of 0.12. Dramatic close-up portraits that reveal details and textures are within the close-up range of this lens.

Compatible with Nikon TC-14E II, TC-17E II, and TC-20E II teleconverters, AF operation only with TC14E II.

Product Description

Nikkor 35mm Lenses Behind every lens is a history of Nikon quality and innovation that has consistently set new standards of excellence. Nikon s most remarkable innovation may be its consistent use of the Nikon F lens mount which makes your camera compatible with literally hundreds of Nikkor lenses. Even when you re using the most powerful Nikkor super-telephoto lens, your pictures will be clear and sharp, with exellent color rendition. That s because many Nikkor telephoto and super-telephoto lenses are made with ED glass, a Nikon innovation that virtually eliminates the color fringing common with regular lens glass in longer focal. An indispensable tool for shooting sports and other high-action events, this new super-telephoto lens uses Nikon s performance-proven Extra-low Dispersion (ED) glass. Distance Signal technology provides focused-distance information. Also features Internal Focusing and Nikon s unique Silent Wave Motor technology to all but eliminate gear noise. The Silent Wave Motor system induces traveling waves which are converted to rotational energy to focus the optics. Accepts 52mm filters HK-24 lens hood. Wt. 130.0 oz. Dim. 4.5 x 16.0 .
