Nikon 18-300mm f/3.5-6.3G ED IF AF-S DX NIKKOR VR Lens w/67mm CPL+UV Filter Kit

The Nikon AF-S DX Nikkor 18-300mm f/3.5-6.3G ED VR lens is a all-in-one wide-angle to telephoto zoom lens for Nikon DX-format (APS sensor) DSLR cameras. With a 16.7x zoom range, this lens is a compact and versatile choice for travel photography, as well as for general family photos. It is a popular choice for amateur photographers and photography enthusiasts who want the benefit of the outstanding image quality provided by Nikon APS DSLR cameras but in a lightweight camera and lens combination. Vibration reduction makes the lens hand-holdable in lower light, even at longer focal lengths, while the lens elements are designed for the sharpest, clearest and most accurate images possible. The zoom range is the equivalent of a 27-450mm lens on a 35mm camera, making it ideal for sports photography and animal photography. It is a significant upgrade to a typical kit lens. What you should know about this lens: • Extended focal range: 16.7x zoom covers it all, from landscapes and interiors to portraits, wildlife and sports. • Effective image stabilization: Nikon Vibration Reduction technology combats camera shake and is effective to 4 stops of blur-free handheld photography in low light or when zoomed all the way out. • Optimized for sharp images: The lens delivers stunning image quality with vibrant color, sharp detail and minimal distortion. The lens is constructed of three aspherical (AS) glass elements and one Extra-low Dispersion (ED) elements. • Fine focusing: The lens uses Nikon's advanced AF technology, Silent Wave Motor (SWM), which focuses quickly and almost silently. This is a great feature for both still photographers and HD videos. The lens focuses internally, so the physical length of the lens doesn't change when focusing. 7 rounded aperture blades promote natural-looking out-of-focus areas and rounded specular highlights.
