The Nikon ED 70-300mm f/4.5 – f/5.6 IF AF-S VRII Zoom Lens is a digital zoom lens with focal length range from 70-300mm and offers features such as VRII vibration reduction that minimizes camera shake and produces sharper images than can be expected with lenses that don’t contain vibration reduction built in. With the use of the built in vibration reduction, it’s not uncommon to maintain and use shutter speeds up to four f-stops lower and still maintain crisp and clear handheld images.
The two ED glass lens elements (the ED stands for Extra Low Dispersion) offer superior contrast and sharper images with higher resolution performance.
The internal focus system on the Nikon ED 70-300mm zoom lens is fast, and quiet and offers a close focus range starting at 4.9 feet.
Unless you require a faster zoom lens, the Nikon 70-300mm ED zoom lens offers an excellent telephoto zoom range yet comes in a small and light easy to carry package with a length of 5.6 inches and just 3.1 inches around with a total weight of just 1.6 pounds.
Engineered for the DX format, the 70-300mm ED zoom lens from Nikon offers a zoom range that is equivalent to a 105-450mm zoom lens on a full frame or 35mm camera. This makes this small yet capable zoom lens a best seller and perfect for portrait photography , or wildlife or sports photography at the longer end of the zoom ratio. You can get up close to your subject yet still be physically further away.
Fast autofocus system in this lens is powered by the built in silent wave motor technology that offers fast, precise and quiet autofocus lens that produces natural tones and backgrounds.
