Vibration Reduction II system Silent Wave AF Motor 82.5-450mm effective focal length The Nikon 55-300mm f/4-5.6G ED AF-S VR DX NIKKOR is a medium to long telephoto zoom lens intended for use with a DX sensor DSLR, such as the Nikon D3100. The lens is perfect for a day out, or holiday, as a variety of genres need to be captured at various distances, although the focal length makes it best suited to wildlife or sports photography. Weighing in at a little over 500g, the Nikon 55-300mm f/4-5.6G ED AF-S VR DX NIKKOR is far lighter than the closest, non-DX equivalent making it easy to carry. Using the second generation of Nikon’s VR system gives the Nikon 55-300mm f/4-5.6G ED AF-S VR DX NIKKOR the ability to detect whether the camera is on a tripod and the type of stabilisation is automatically adjusted, as well as making it possible to use longer shutter speeds without affecting sharpness When shooting in quieter environments the Silent Wave Motor can silence any focus adjustments and make them rapidly. The Nikon 55-300mm f/4-5.6G ED AF-S VR DX NIKKOR will give any advancing photographer the opportunity to develop their craft.
