Key Features

Broad Telephoto Zoom Range

• 50-250mm Focal Length: Provides a versatile zoom range that is equivalent to 75-375mm in 35mm format, making it ideal for capturing a wide range of subjects, from close-up portraits to distant action and wildlife photography.
• Variable f/4.5-6.3 Aperture: The variable aperture helps keep the lens compact and lightweight while still providing ample light-gathering capability across the zoom range.

High-Quality Optics

• Advanced Optical Design: The lens is constructed with 16 elements in 12 groups, including one extra-low dispersion (ED) element that helps to minimize chromatic aberrations and provide sharp, clear images with accurate color reproduction.
• Super Integrated Coating (SIC): Nikon's SIC effectively reduces ghosting and flare, enhancing contrast and color fidelity, especially in backlit situations.

Vibration Reduction (VR) System

• Effective VR Image Stabilization: The built-in VR system provides up to 5 stops of stabilization, allowing for sharper handheld shots, even at slower shutter speeds and extended focal lengths. This feature is particularly useful when shooting in low-light conditions or at the telephoto end of the zoom range.

Compact and Lightweight Design

• Portable Build: Weighing only 405g (14.3 oz) and measuring just 110mm in length when retracted, the lens is highly portable, making it an excellent choice for travel and everyday photography.
• Retractable Design: The lens can be retracted to a shorter length when not in use, making it easier to store and carry.

Fast and Quiet Autofocus

• Stepping Motor (STM): The lens is equipped with a stepping motor for smooth, fast, and quiet autofocus operation, which is ideal for both still photography and video recording.
• Manual Focus Override: Provides the ability to make fine manual focus adjustments at any time, offering greater control over your compositions.
