Overview
Lightweight, convenient, super telephoto lens optimized for edge-to-edge sharpness on both the Nikon FX- (23.9 x 36mm) and DX-format image sensors. New tripod detection mode reduces vibration that may occur due to shutter release when mounted on a tripod. Exclusive Nano Crystal Coat and a meniscus protective glass element combine to further reduce ghosting and flare for even greater image clarity. Rugged, reliable and lightweight, this lens features a magnesium die-cast barrel and professional-grade dust- and moisture-resistant construction. Compatible with TC-14EII (AF/MF), TC-17EII (MF), TC-20EII (MF) and TC-20EIII (MF) Teleconverters. Nikon VR II (Vibration Reduction) image stabilization, engineered specifically for each VR NIKKOR lens, enables handheld shooting at up to 4 shutter speeds slower than would otherwise be possible, assuring dramatically sharper still images and video capture. Nikon's Silent Wave Motor (SWM) enables ultra-high-speed autofocusing with exceptional accuracy and powerful, super-quiet operation. Three Extra-low Dispersion (ED) elements control chromatic aberrations while enhancing color, sharpness and contrast, even at the widest aperture settings. New A/M focus mode provides secure switching between auto and manual focus operation.

This lens has increased my desire to learn motor-sport photography. With its wide aperture and fast response, I have captured some really good pictures. The auto image stabilizer compensated for my over enthusiastic moments with the camera. I guess Nikon has a new believer.

I have used this lens for wildlife photography, and I feel it stands true to its reputation. The VR-II helps in stabilizing the vibration to give you a sharp image. The best feature is its ability to adapt to almost any climate. The moisture and dust sealing is just a wonderful feature to this lens. I feel this product is definitely made for wildlife photographers. Well I would recommend this lens to anyone interested in wildlife photography.
