- Offers the popular 18-55mm focal range for use in a variety of different situations (equivalent to a 27-82.5mm lens in 35mm format)
- ED glass and hybrid aspherical elements minimize chromatic aberration, astigmatism and other forms of distortion, while ensuring high resolution and contrast
- Ultracompact dimensions of 69 x 74mm and just 210g in weight
- Incorporates a newly developed compact SWM (Silent Wave Motor) for quiet focusing
- Delivers high-level optical performance that is specially designed for use with the Nikon digital SLRs
- Employs a seven-blade rounded diaphragm opening that achieves a natural blur for out-of-focus elements
- Enables focusing from as close as 28cm from the subject through its entire focal range
- Serves as an ideal complement to the similarly priced AF-S DX Zoom-Nikkor 55-200mm f/4-5.6G ED lens
NOTE: Due to optical characteristics of IF (Internal Focusing) lenses, the shooting distance becomes shorter as the focal length shortens.
