Description:
|
Compact, 5.3x wide-angle-to-medium telephoto zoom, ideal for a broad range of shooting situations from interiors and landscapes to beautiful portraits
Optical design optimized for use with Nikon DX-format digital SLRs for superior performance.
Vibration Reduction (VRII) minimizes the effects of camera shake, allowing handheld shooting at up to 4 shutter speeds slower than would otherwise be possible, assuring dramatically sharper images.
Two ED (Extra-low Dispersion) glass elements offer superior sharpness and color correction by effectively minimizing chromatic aberration.
Exclusive Nikon Silent Wave Motor (SWM) enables accurate, high-speed and quiet autofocus operation.
Three aspherical lens elements virtually eliminate coma and other types of lens aberration even when used at the widest aperture.
Nikon Super Integrated Coating (SIC) offers superior color performance and substantially reduced ghosting and flare.
Close focusing distance to 1.3 feet throughout the entire zoom range.
Rounded 7-blade diaphragm for more natural appearance of out-of-focus image elements.
Picture angle equivalent to focal length of 24-127.5mm (in 35mm format)

I purchased this lens to replace an 18-135 kit lens that came with the D80. It just seemed like I could never get a really sharp image with the 18-135. That's all changed now!
This is a very well-built lens, albeit heavy. It's very solid, zoom is tight and smooth with no creep at all. It has a small amount of distortion (pincushion) common with most zooms, but it's easily correctable via software.
This is my first VR lens, and my only regret is not getting one sooner.
