Dynamic Zoom Coverage
---------------------
Choosing the lens that best suits your skill level and creative
pursuits is a vital part of your photographic journey. Designed
for use with Nikon’s DX-format SLRs, the 5.5x zoom and versatile
55-300mm focal length[1] enables photographers to get up-close
and personal with distant subjects. Perfect for travel, sunsets,
or sporting s, the shallow depth of field and dramatic
telephoto compression effects achievable also make for a
beautiful portrait creating a soft background and
attractively flattening facial features.
Crystal Clear Imagery
---------------------
Nikon’s exclusive second generation Vibration Reduction system
(VR II) enables steady hand-held shooting at all focal lengths.
Delivering sharp photos and video, VR II allows you to use
shutter speeds that are up to 4 stops slower than would otherwise
be possible. Also, being an optical system means that the
viewfinder image is also stabilised, enabling more accurate
autofocus acquisition and framing. Leave your tripod at home and
shoot with confidence, safe in the knowledge that the AF-S DX
NIKKOR 55-300mm f/4.5-5.6G ED VR lens will produce photos of
outstanding sharpness and colour even in low light.
Supreme Optics
--------------
The inclusion of two ED and one HRI element helps eliminate
aberrations and distortion for superior picture quality.
Providing outstanding optical performance, the lens comprises 17
elements in 11 groups, in a design with two ED and one HRI (High
Refractive Index) glass lens element. With a refractive index of
more than 2.0, the HRI element offers effects equivalent to those
obtained with several normal glass elements and can compensate
for both field curvature and spherical aberrations. Working
together, the HRI and ED elements deliver crisp images even under
harsh lighting conditions while the rounded nine-blade diaphragm
creates a soft rendering effect, producing high-quality natural
backgrounds. This highly efficient optics system achieves clear,
high contrast images at every aperture and focal length and
contributes to the compact dimensions, making the AF-S DX NIKKOR
55-300mm f/4.5-5.6G ED VR conveniently portable.
Silent Precision
----------------
Nikon's AF-S technology is yet another reason why professional
photographers like NIKKOR lenses. Nikon’s exclusive Silent Wave
Motor (SWM) converts travelling waves into rotational energy to
focus the optics. This enables high-speed autofocusing that’s
extremely accurate and super quiet. So for discrete shooting you
can set up the in an instant and camera focusing won’t
disturb sensitive subjects like wildlife.
The AF-S DX NIKKOR 55-300mm f/4.5-5.6G ED VR from Nikon is an
exceptionally affordable, VR super-telephoto zoom lens which
delivers a level of clarity and reliability that every passionate
photographer can appreciate.
[1] The actual focal length of 55-300mm has an angle of view
equivalent to that of an 82.5-450mm lens in 35mm [135] format.
