Nikon AF-S NIKKOR 80-400mm f / 4.5-5.6G ED VR

Nikon AF-S NIKKOR 80-400mm f/4.5-5.6G ED VR

A high-performance telephoto zoom lens for FX-format SLRs. With a wide 80-400mm focal range and advanced optical design, this lens can be used to capture a wide range of subjects, including wildlife, landscapes and sporting events. Nikon's Vibration Reduction system allows shooting with a shutter speed four stops slower, so handheld images are sharp at all focal lengths. Four ED (Extra-low Dispersion) and one Super ED glass element correct chromatic aberration and optical color defects that occur at longer focal lengths.

• FX-format telephoto zoom lens:80-400mm focal length (120-600mm when used with Nikon DX format SLR).
• Exceptional optical properties:Four ED (Extra-low Dispersion) glass elements and one Super ED glass element help correct chromatic aberration and optical color defects that occur at longer focal lengths.
• Nanometer crystal coating:significantly less ghosting and flare, even in backlight conditions.
• Vibration Reduction (VR) system:Standard, Active and Tripod modes. The effects of camera shake are reduced and the shutter speed can be reduced by four stops.
• Silent Wave Motor (SWM):fast, quiet and accurate autofocus.
• Three focus modes:A/M (autofocus with manual override, AF priority), M/A (autofocus with manual override, manual focus priority), and M (manual focus).
• AF with teleconverter:AF works even when a 1.4x teleconverter is attached to a camera that supports f/8.
• Focus limit switch:FULL and ∞-6 m allow you to reduce focusing time when shooting at a certain distance.
• Lens barrel lock:(if the barrel is pushed to the 80 mm position) ensures that the barrel does not extend due to its own weight when the lens is not in use.
• Removable tripod support:added.
