NIKKOR AF-S DX 55-300mm VR II: Making Super Telephoto Shooting Easy and Affordable
The new NIKKOR AF-S DX 55-300mm VR II is the ideal lens for family picture-takers and photo enthusiasts. It complements the 18-55mm VR DX-format lens, which is available in a kit package with the just-released D3100 digital SLR (see separate news release), and provides users with an affordable way to achieve super zoom focal lengths of 82.5-450mm (35mm equivalent). The AF-S DX 55-300mm VR II brings the benefits of longer focal lengths into range when capturing distant subjects, perfect for sporting events and nature walks. Additional features include a Tripod Detection Mode that allows users to keep VR image stabilization activated and automatically compensates for minute vibrations when mounted on a tripod. Additionally, a High Refractive Index (HRI) Lens Element is implemented to keep the lens compact while offering high contrast even at maximum aperture. The optical construction consists of two Extra-low Dispersion (ED) Elements that effectively minimize chromatic aberration, even at the widest aperture settings.
