Primary Features

1. Renowned and reliable technology

• Perfecting steady shots: Vibration Reduction (VR) in the AF-S DX NIKKOR 55-200mm f/4-5.6G ED VR II minimizes image blur caused by camera shake from overeager or tired hands when photo opportunities are endless on an excursion. The VR provides an effect equivalent of shooting at a shutter speed 4.0 stops*2 faster for sharp and clear images, giving photographers a steady extra hand in taking those picturesque architecture or arresting landscapes.

 

• Swift and silent focusing: To be engaged with an accurate and quiet high-speed autofocusing, ideal in situations where photographers would need to be inconspicuous during a shoot such as bird photography, the Silent Wave Motor (SWM) technology is also incorporated into the compact lens. A Nikon technology, the SWM converts “travelling waves” into rotational energy to focus the optics.

2. Synergy of manoeuvrability and quality

• Packing light and easy: Granting photographers greater convenience in capturing the perfect shot, along with the possibility of packing more lenses for a shoot or simply travelling lighter, is the retractable barrel mechanism that renders the DX-format lens to be exceptionally light at approximately 300 grams.
• Maximizing photography, minimizing hassle: Photographers can look forward to achieving stunning sharpness and contrast in their images and videos, even at maximum aperture, while spending more time shooting what they love. The presence of the Extra-low Dispersion (ED) glass element ensures superior optical sharpness and colour correction by minimising chromatic aberration so post-processing is made an easier and less time-consuming task.
