Product details

The lens quickly and precisely captures focus and reliably tracks it during subject movements. The electromagnetic diaphragm control ensures accurate and consistent exposure even at high frame rates. Nikon's Silent Wave Motor enables extremely fast and quiet autofocus operation. The advanced AF tracking keeps moving subjects securely in focus, even when the movement is unpredictable or when the subject is rapidly approaching the camera. A switch for limiting the focus range (FULL and ∞-5 m) allows for even faster focus acquisition.

Focusing functions inherited from professional NIKKOR lenses provide outstanding adjustment options. The focus modes (A/M and M/A) allow for an easy switch from autofocus to manual focusing simply by turning the focus ring. The focus ring can be precisely adjusted thanks to its anti-slip structure. With the focus memory function, a distance setting can be saved for repeated use, perfect for when you want to focus on a bird perched on a branch while hunting.
