Nikon AF-S 24-120mm f4G VR IF ED Lens

Possibly the single most versatile lens, the Nikon AF-S 24-120mm f4G VR IF ED Lens spans a useful wide-angle to the short-telephoto range and features a constant f/4 maximum aperture for consistent performance throughout the zoom range. Three aspherical elements and two extra-low dispersion elements are used to greatly reduce spherical and chromatic aberrations in order to produce a high degree of sharpness and clarity. Also benefitting image quality, both a Nano Crystal Coat and a Super Integrated Coating have been applied to control flare and ghosting for improved contrast and colour accuracy. Supporting the optics is VR II image stabilization, which compensates for camera shake to help realize sharp imagery when shooting handheld. A Silent Wave Motor is also used to provide fast and precise autofocus performance, along with full-time manual focus override. Key Features of the Nikon AF-S 24-120mm f4G VR IF ED Lens F-Mount Lens/FX Format Aperture Range: f/4 to f/22 Three Aspherical and Two ED Elements Nano Crystal & Super Integrated Coatings Silent Wave Motor AF System VR II Image Stabilization Rounded 9-Blade Diaphragm Designed for FX-format F-mount cameras Standard zoom is designed for FX-format F-mount cameras, however, can also be used with DX models where it provides a 36-180mm equivalent focal length range Three aspherical elements Three aspherical elements are used to reduce spherical aberrations and distortion in order to realize sharp imagery with accurate rendering Two extra-low dispersion elements Two extra-low dispersion elements greatly reduce color fringing and chromatic aberrations in order to produce greater clarity and color accuracy Rounded nine-blade diaphragm Rounded nine-blade diaphragm promotes a pleasing out of focus quality that benefits the use of shallow depth of field and selective focus techniques Super Integrated Coating A Super Integrated Coating has been applied to individual elements to suppress internal reflections, flare, and ghosting for improved contrast and color accuracy when working in strong lighting conditions Silent Wave Motor Silent Wave Motor affords quick, quiet, and precise autofocus performance along with full-time manual focus override. An internal focusing design is also used, where only the internal lens groups are moved during focusing, to maintain the overall length of the lens during use and to promote faster-focusing speeds Nano Crystal Coat and a Super Integrated Coating Both a Nano Crystal Coat and a Super Integrated Coating have been applied to individual elements to suppress internal reflections, flare, and ghosting for improved contrast and color accuracy when working in strong lighting conditions VR II (Vibration Reduction) image stabilization VR II (Vibration Reduction) image stabilization helps to minimize the appearance of camera shake to benefit shooting handheld in difficult lighting conditions Constant f/4 maximum aperture Bright constant f/2.8 maximum aperture affords consistent performance throughout the zoom range MPN - JAA811DA GTIN - 018208021932
