Nikon AF-S DX 16-85mm f3.5-5.6G Lens ED VR

Description

The Nikon 16-85mm f/3.5-5.6G ED VR AF-S DX Lens is a compact, lightweight, fully-featured zoom lens that covers a wide 5.3x focal zoom range, and is ideal for a wide range of shooting situations. It is ideally suited for use with compact Nikon digital SLR cameras with the smaller DX size chip. This lens offers an equivalent focal length in 35mm terms of 24-127.5mm. It will conveniently cover everything from tight indoor portraits to medium telephoto shots.

The improved Vibration Reduction (VRII) system allows handheld telephoto zoom shooting even in poorly lit conditions. It minimizes image blur caused by camera shake, and offers the equivalent of shooting at a shutter speed 4 stops (8 times) faster. The Nikon Super Integrated Coating used in this lens minimizes ghosting and flare to provide even higher contrast and more vivid images, even in challenging light conditions. Three aspherical lens elements virtually eliminate coma and other types of lens aberration even when used at the widest aperture.

This G-type Nikkor lens is designed with no aperture rings, and offers easier, virtually mistake-free operation because the aperture does not need to be set to minimum.

Key Features:

• Compact, 5.3x wide-angle-to-medium telephoto zoom, ideal for a broad range of shooting situations from interiors and landscapes to beautiful portraits
• Nikon VR II (Vibration Reduction) Image Stabilization

Vibration Reduction, engineered specifically for each VR NIKKOR lens, enables handheld shooting at up to 4 shutter speeds slower than would otherwise be possible, assuring dramatically sharper still images and video capture.

• Exclusive Nikon Silent Wave Motor (SWM) enables accurate, high-speed and quiet autofocus operation.
• Nikon Super Integrated Coating (SIC) offers superior color performance and substantially reduced ghosting and flare.
• Rounded 7-blade diaphragm for more natural appearance of out-of-focus image elements.
• Optical design optimized for use with Nikon DX-format digital SLRs for superior performance.
• Two ED (Extra-low Dispersion) glass elements offer superior sharpness and color correction by effectively minimizing chromatic aberration.
• Three aspherical lens elements virtually eliminate coma and other types of lens aberration even when used at the widest aperture.
• Close focusing distance to 1.3 feet throughout the entire zoom range.
• Picture angle equivalent to focal length of 24-127.5mm (in 35mm format)

Note:
DX lenses are NOT recommended for use with "full-frame" digital or 35mm film SLR cameras.
