This full-frame F-mount 70-300mm lens offers telephoto to super telephoto coverage and is also compatible with DX-format DSLRs where it provides an equivalent zoom range of 105-450mm. Helping maintain a relatively compact and lightweight design is the use of a variable maximum aperture of f/4.5-5.6. One extra-low dispersion element works to reduce chromatic aberrations; improve overall image sharpness, clarity, and color fidelity; and help to minimize the overall weight of the lens.
A Super Integrated Coating has been applied to lens elements to minimize surface and internal reflections for a marked reduction in lens flare and ghosting.
A pulse stepping motor AF system enables accurate and silent focusing that works well in both stills and video shooting. Nikon's Vibration Reduction image stabilization is rated to compensate for up to 4.5 stops of shutter speed to reduce the effects of camera shake.
Full-time manual focus override allows instant switching between AF and MF focusing systems by just rotating the focus ring at any time. Internal focusing design maintains the overall lens length during operation and contributes to a lighter overall weight.
Specialized electromagnetic aperture mechanism provides greater exposure control stability that is especially beneficial when working with fast continuous shooting rates. Rounded, nine-blade diaphragm provides smooth, out-of-focus elements and highlights.
