■ Major features
• The Nano Crystal Coat deposited on some of the lens elements ensures that
Jp
fine, clear images can be reproduced under various shooting conditions, from
the sunny outdoors to spotlighted interior scenes.
• This lens features AF-L, which locks focus during autofocus, AF-ON, which
En
activates autofocus, and MEMORY RECALL, which saves and recalls selected
focus distances.
De
• By enabling vibration reduction (VRⅡ), slower shutter speeds (approximately
four stops*) can be used, thus increasing the range of usable shutter speeds
and zoom positions, particularly when hand-holding the camera. (*Based
Fr
on results achieved under Nikon measurement conditions. The effects of
vibration reduction may vary according to shooting conditions and use.)
Es
• AF-I/AF-S Teleconverters TC-14E/TC-14E
Ⅱ/TC-17EⅡ**/TC-20E**/TC-20EⅡ**/
TC-20EⅢ** are usable. (**Autofocus is not possible.)
Important
Se
• When mounted on Nikon DX format digital SLR cameras, such as the D300-
Series and D7000, the lens’ picture angle becomes 8°-4° and its 35mm equivalent
Ru
focal length is approx. 300-600mm.
