High-performance telephoto lens:
Offers 300 mm focal length and f/4 maximum aperture. (450 mm focal length when used with a Nikon DX-format SLR.)
Phase Fresnel element:
This telephoto lens delivers great optical performance and boasts a remarkably compact build. Use of a phase Fresnel (PF) lens element noticeably reduces the weight, without degrading image quality.
Vibration Reduction (VR):
With SPORT mode. VR minimises the effects of camera shake and lets you shoot at shutter speeds up to 4.5 stops slower. SPORT VR mode delivers a stable viewfinder image when shooting high-speed movement, and allows a continuous shooting frame rate with reduced release time lag, similar to those that are possible when VR is turned off.
Advanced optical performance:
Nano Crystal Coat effectively reduces ghost and flare, increasing the clarity and contrast of images. An ED (extra-low dispersion) glass element minimises chromatic aberration.
Electromagnetic diaphragm:
Enables consistent, more precise exposures, especially when shooting at high frame rates.
Fluorine coating:
Actively repels water, dust, and dirt without compromising image quality. The coating enhances durability and makes it easier to clean the glass without damaging the surface.
Minimum focus distance:
1.4 m.
RT-1 tripod collar ring (optional accessory):
Enables the lens to be rotated freely for smooth transition between vertical and horizontal orientation.
