Basic concept of vibration reduction
b More accurate exposure control is possible when this is mounted on a Nikon
camera having 3D Matrix Metering capability, because subject distance
information is transferred from the lens to the camera body.
b The use of three ED (extra-low dispersion) lens elements ensures sharp pictures
virtually free of color fringing. Also, by utilizing a 9-blade diaphragm that
produces a nearly circular aperture, out-of-focus images in front of or behind
the subject are rendered as pleasing blurs.
b The Nano Crystal Coat deposited on some of the lens elements ensures that
fine, clear images can be reproduced under any shooting conditions, from the
sunny outdoors to spotlighted interior scenes.
b Meniscus glass, unlike existing flat glass, is used for the lens protective glass.
b Closest focusing distances of 2.9 m (9.5 ft) (AF) and 2.8 m (9.2 ft) (MF) are
provided.
Important!
• Be careful not to hold the camera body when the lens is attached, as this may
cause damage to the camera. Be sure to hold both the lens and camera when
carrying.
• Be sure to attach a 52mm screw-in filter to the slip-in filter holder.
• Be careful not to soil or damage the CPU contacts.
• AF-I/AF-S Teleconverters TC-14E/TC-14EII/TC-17EII/TC-20E/TC-20EII/TC-20EIII
are usable.
• When mounted on Nikon DX format digital SLR cameras, such as the
D300-Series and D90, the lens' picture angle becomes 4° and its 35 mm
equivalent focal length is approx. 600 mm. (The lens' picture angle is 6°10' at
35 mm focal length.)
• If the lens mount rubber gasket is damaged, be sure to visit the nearest Nikon
authorized dealer or service center for repair.
