Nikon 120-300mm AF-S f2.8E FL ED SR VR

120-300mm | NIKON lens where to buy nikon

Speed, range and flexibility define the NIKON AF-S 120-300mm f/2.8E FL ED SR VR; an F-mount telephoto zoom characterized by advanced optical design, fast focusing performance, and a bright constant maximum aperture of f/2.8. Fluorite glass, short wavelength refraction (SR) and extra low dispersion (ED) is used throughout the optical design to effectively suppress a variety of aberrations to improve clarity, sharpness and color accuracy throughout the zoom range. ARNEO and Nano Crystal coatings, as well as a super-integrated coating, have also been applied to suppress glare, reflections and surface reflections to improve contrast and color fidelity.

Balancing the optical merits, this 120-300mm is also characterized by its inclusion of a vibration reduction image stabilization system that compensates for camera movement to allow for sharper manual shooting. A silent wave motor also benefits from producing sharp images and offers fast and quiet autofocus performance along with full-time manual focus override. In addition, a rotating tripod collar is featured to help work with a support system and this lens uses an electromagnetic diaphragm to ensure constant exposure stability when shooting at fast, continuous speeds.

• Designed for use with FX image sensors, this 120-300mm lens is also compatible with DX sensors where it will provide an equivalent focal length range of 180-450mm.
• The constant maximum aperture of f/2.8 offers constant illumination throughout the zoom range and benefits work in available lighting conditions, as well as offers improved control over depth of field.
• With a combination of an extra-low dispersion element, two fluorite elements, and a short-wavelength refractive element, chromatic aberrations and color edges are effectively removed throughout the zoom range for remarkable color clarity and accuracy.
• Vibration-reducing image stabilization helps reduce the appearance of camera shake, which benefits the use of this lens in low-light conditions. In addition, a designated sport mode is suitable for working in fast-paced conditions and a tripod mode helps suppress subtle vibrations from the ground when working on top of a support system.
• Silent Wave Motor offers fast, quiet and accurate autofocus performance along with full-time manual focus override.
• The focus range limiter allows you to restrict the focusing system to a range of 19.7' to infinity for faster focusing performance.
• Assignable function buttons can be used for lens-based activation of AF/AE lock modes or to switch between different AF area modes.
• The dust- and moisture-resistant lens body, along with a fluorine front coating, benefits the use of the lens in inclement conditions.
• The tripod collar offers balanced support when working from a monopod or tripod. The collar ring also incorporates ball bearings for smooth transitions between horizontal and vertical shooting orientations.
• The specialized electromagnetic aperture mechanism provides greater exposure control stability which is especially beneficial when working with fast continuous firing speeds.
• The rounded nine-blade diaphragm contributes to a pleasant bokeh quality.
