Overview
Modeled with a super-telephoto zoom range, the Nikon AF-S DX Nikkor 18-300 mm f/3.5-6.3 G ED VR Lens effortlessly covers a wide expanse with a magnanimous focal length of 18.0 mm (W) – 300 mm (T). This permits you to comfortably capture a whole range of shots from wide-angle shots to closeups, to mid-range shots, to panoramic views, or even long distance zoom angles. You also get an impressively shallow depth-of-field, which makes your subject stand out against their backgrounds. This lens is also remarkably compact and lightweight due to its retractable barrel mechanism. Hence, in spite of being designed with a super-telephoto zoom range, the lens is still easily portable and user-friendly. Another brilliant feature of the Nikon AF-S DX Nikkor 18-300 mm f/3.5-6.3 G ED VR Lens is its in-built vibration reduction (VR) image stabilizer, which efficiently decreases the shaky effects of handheld camera positions. The Silent Wave Motor of this lens enables quick and precise autofocusing without making any noise that might interfere with the audio recording when you shoot videos.
