Major Features

• High-powered 5.5x DX zoom lens with super-telephoto reach.
• Flexible 55-300mm focal length (35 mm equivalent 82.5-450mm).
• Vibration Reduction II (VR II) stabilization system. Lets you use shutter speeds that are up to 4 stops slower.
• Two ED (Extra low Dispersion) glass elements and one HRI (High Refractive Index) element ensure outstanding optical performance.
• SWM (Silent Wave Motor) for fast, quiet autofocus.
• Weather-sealed mount protects the lens from dust or water.

• High-power 4.3x Telephoto Zoom-Nikkor lens approximates the picture angle performance of a 105-450mm lens on 35mm SLR.
• Vibration Reduction (VRII) minimizes the effects of camera shake allowing photographers to shoot handheld at as many as 4 shutter speeds slower than would otherwise be possible, assuring dramatically sharper images.
• Two Nikon Extra-low Dispersion (ED) glass elements deliver superior optical performance for both digital and 35mm photography. ED glass minimizes chromatic aberrations, contributing to superb contrast and resolution performance.
