Optical Characteristics

With a 35mm equivalent focal length range of 75mm, this lens offers a Standard Wide Zoom perspective.

Recommended Applications

*Recommendations are based only on the features necessary to perform the application successfully and do not take into account the relative image quality of different lenses

General use

A basic kit for non-specific photography should cover between 28-300mm

Landscapes

Wide expanses and panoramas can be captured on the wide end of this focal length. For this application aperture settings will usually vary from f5.6 and smaller and cameras will usually be tripod mounted.

Portraits

A focal length of about 50mm is recommended for full to mid length portraits, 85mm and  higher for medium closeup to closeups depending on the amount of spacial compression wanted. Depth of field is the most important tool to manipulate and a fast lens will give more scope for creative treatment.

Technologies

Nikon Super Integrated Coating

Nikons Super Integrated coating multilayer lens coating helps reduce ghost and flare to a negligible level.

Nikon Super Integrated Coating achieves a number of objectives, including minimized reflection in the wider wavelength range and superior color balance and reproduction.

Aspherical lens elements

Aspherical lenses virtually eliminate the problem of coma and other types of lens aberration — even when used at the widest aperture. They are particularly useful in correcting the distortion in wide-angle lenses. In addition, use of aspherical lenses contributes to a lighter and smaller lens design.

Silent Wave Motor

AF-S Nikkor lenses feature Nikon’s SWM which converts “traveling waves” into rotational energy to focus the optics. This enables high-speed auto-focusing that’s extremely accurate and super quiet as well as being more battery power efficient.

M/A mode

AF-S NIKKOR lenses feature Nikon’s exclusive M/A mode, that allows switching from autofocus to manual operation with virtually no time lag — even during AF servo operation and regardless of AF mode in use.

DX NIKKOR

Compact and lightweight DX NIKKOR lenses featuring a smaller image circle are specially designed and optimized for Nikon APS-C (non full frame) digital cameras. While these lenses will work on full frame cameras, the cameras will automatically crop the resolution on the image sensor.
