Product Description

Product Description

Super-fast, telephoto lens, optimized for edge-to-edge sharpness on both the Nikon FX- (23.9 x 36mm) and DX-format image sensors. Vibration Reduction (VR II) minimizes the effects of camera shake allowing photographers to shoot as many as four shutter speeds slower than would otherwise be possible, assuring dramatically sharper images. New tripod detection mode reduces vibration that may occur due to shutter release when mounted on a tripod. Nikon's Silent Wave Motor (SWM) enables ultra-high-speed autofocusing with exceptional accuracy and powerful, super-quiet operation. Exclusive Nano Crystal Coat and a meniscus protective glass element combine to further reduce ghosting and flare for even greater image clarity. Three Extra-low Dispersion (ED) elements control chromatic aberrations while enhancing color, sharpness and contrast, even at the widest aperture settings. Rugged, reliable and lightweight, this lens features a magnesium die-cast barrel and professional-grade dust- and moisture-resistant construction. New A/M focus mode provides fast, secure switching between auto and manual focus operation.

5.0 out of 5 stars Superb telephoto lense, June 3, 2009

By	Serge Marinkovic MD (Lafayette, Lousiana) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I have been a staunch Nikon supporter for the last 4 years. I purchased this telephoto lense for a dual Safari adventure to Kenya and South Africa. Although I purchased this used on Ebay this lense is phenomenal. It is quick and precise. I took my new Nikon D3x with two Lexar 16 GB compact flash and my 14 mm wide angle lense and all my photo's are stunning. The color is rich, vibrant and accurate. This is an expensive set-up but for an avid non professional photographer it was money well spent. I will have my website up in a few months and I will place my Safari pictures. You will be impressed.
