NIkon AF-S NIKKOR 18-140mm f/3.5-5.6G ED VR Lens

Nikon's AF-S DX NIKKOR 18-140mm f/3.5-5.6G ED VR is a versatile and advanced multi-purpose zoom lens that offers telephoto imaging with a 35mm focal length equivalence of 27-210mm.  While designed for DX-format it is compatible with FX-format in crop mode.  This lens is an ideal choice for a wide variety of shooting applications thanks to its encompassing zoom range of 18 -140 mm and its lightweight, compact construction.  You will love the power of this lens while traveling.  Nikon packed it with features including its improved Vibration Reduction II, a system which minimizes image blur caused by camera shake, and offers the equivalent of shooting at a shutter speed 3.5 stops faster.  An extra-low dispersion (ED) glass and three aspherical lens elements pair in order to reduce the effects of distortion and chromatic aberrations.  The Super Integrated Coating helps eliminate ghosting and unwanted flare. The Silent Wave Motor design means you will always experience smooth and virtually silent autofocusing without the exterior size of the lens changing.  Full time manual focusing override is available with the A-M focusing switch. The minimum focus distance is 1.48' and its 7-blade rounded aperture helps to provide pleasing out-of-focus backgrounds.


NIKKOR G LENS
NIKKOR's G line of lenses are specifically engineered with no aperture ring.  This enables easier operation and leads to less mistakes because the aperture does not need to be set to a minimum

EXTRA LOW DISPERSION GLASS (ED)
Nikon's Low Dispersion technology is engineered to reduce chromatic aberrations, eliminating the tendency of light of different colors to focus to different points at the image plane.  This means your images will come out crisp and clear, with less of a chance of defracting light into an unwanted rainbow of colors.  Take shots exactly like you want, without any flare-up or blurring.

ASPHERICAL DESIGN
Nikon's aspherical lens design creates a more complex surface profile.  This helps to greatly reduce spherical and other optical aberrations.  The design further ensures consistent imaging performance throughout the entire focal range, while delivering incredible sharpness up to the periphery of the image. 

INTERNAL FOCUSING (IF)
Nikon's Internal Focusing feature allows you to focus a lens without changing its size.  With IF Lenses all optical movement is restricted to the interior of the lens barrel, providing for a lighter, more efficient design.  Faster focusing is produced by a lighter and compact focusing lens group.

A-M SWITCH
This switch is an element which locks the focus ring during autofocus, allowing the behavior to mimic a manual focus lens in manual focus mode.  When the focusing ring is rotated with a sufficient load you will experience convenient manual focusing maneuvers.  

SUPER INTEGRATED COATING
The Nikon anti-reflective coating is an optical design feature which ensures superior clarity and image brilliance, even in poor or unfavorable lighting conditions.  Nikon applies the anti-reflective coating through a special process, layering the lens surface in order to substantially reduce unwanted flare or ghosting.  This process helps to ensure incredibly rich image contrast and true color fidelity.

SILENT WAVE MOTOR (SWM)
Nikon's Silent Wave Motor technology provides rapid auto-focusing while remaining exceedingly quiet and accurate.  "Traveling Waves" are transformed into a rotational energy that focuses the optics. 

VIBRATION REDUCTION (VR)
Nikon's Vibration Reduction technology provides superb image stabilization for handheld macro shooting.  This lens administers exceedingly clear, natural images that remain crisp at greater distances.  With the extended focal length, you will enjoy enhanced quality in any photographic situation.
