APS-C sized imageLenses that create APS-C sized image are designed for digital only. They cannot be used on cameras that have image sensor larger than the APS-C format. These lenses are not suitable for film cameras either. Ultrasonic AFLenses with ultrasonic focusing mechanism tend to be quiter and faster than traditionally focusing lenses. No stepping motor AFLenses with stepping motor focusing mechanism are better for contrast based focusing, and are quiter and faster than traditionally focusing lenses. One or more Low Dispersion lens element is usedLow Dispersion lens elements help to reduce chromatic aberration. Not stabilizedImage stabilization helps to reduce blur caused by hand shake, especially at high focal length or in low light situations. Image stabilization can give 1 to 3 stop advantage over none stabilized lens, based on the reciprocal rule. No Internal FocusingInternally focusing lenses don't change their size while setting focus. The front lens is rotatingThe fixed front lens is not rotating during zoom and/or focusing. This allows the photographer to use petal shaped lens hood. Fixed front lenses also make the use of polarization filters a lot easier. |

Compact, lightweight lens design, and 3x zoom. Ideals as a normal lens for Nikon DX-format SLRs. New compact rod-type Silent Wave Motor enables accuracy and super-quiet operation. ED-glass element for minimal chromatic aberration and superior optical performance. Hybrid aspherical element for high resolution and contrast. M/A mode for instant switching to manual focus even during AF operation. 7-blade ronded diaphragm for more natural out-of-focus highlights.
