Key Features

The world's first AF-S VR super-Telephoto 200-400mm zoom lens.

Nikon VR (Vibration Reduction) Image Stabilization
Vibration Reduction, engineered specifically for each VR NIKKOR lens, enables handheld shooting at up to 3 shutter speeds slower than would otherwise be possible, assuring dramatically sharper still images and video capture.

Automatically detects when photographer is panning and compensates.

Exclusive Silent Wave Motor (SWM) enables ultra-high-speed auto focusing with exceptional accuracy and powerful super-quiet operation.

Minimum focus distance of 6.2 feet at all focal lengths.

Compatible with TC-14EII (AF/MF), TC-17EII (MF), TC-20EII (MF) and TC-20EIII (MF) Teleconverters.

No power consumption during manual focus operation.

Nikon D-type design provides precise distance information for flash and ambient light exposure processes.

G-design enables apertures to be selected from select Nikon AF SLR camera bodies.

Combines four fixed focal length super-Telephoto lenses into a single compact super-Telephoto AF Zoom Nikkor lens.

Two VR Modes: normal or active for taking pictures with extreme movement.

Compatible with Nikon TC-14E II, TC-17E II and TC-20E II (III) Teleconverters. AF operation only with TC14E II.

4 Extra-low Dispersion (ED) glass elements minimize chromatic aberration and provide higher resolution and superior contrast.

Internal Focusing (IF) design for smoother focusing and great body balance.

M/A mode enables instant switching from auto focus to manual with virtually no time lag even during AF servo operation.

9 blade rounded diaphragm for natural blur.

Detachable tripod mounting collar provided.
