Nikon AF-S DX 55-300mm VR Nikkor Zoom LensAll in one zoom for superb super telephoto shooting: This powerful zoom lens lets DX-format DSLR users reach 300 mm super telephoto with clarity and sharpness, thanks to built in VR (Vibration Reduction) image stabilization. In addition, the new High Refractive Index (HRI) lens a first for the NIKKOR line up achieves clear, high contrast images at every aperture and focal length yet contributes to making the lens body slim and compact. A practical, versatile lens, the AF-S DX NIKKOR 55-300 mm f/4.5-5.6G ED VR is ideal for those who want a single lens that can handle just about any shooting opportunity.

A View From AfarSuper telephoto capability in a compact lens: The compact AF-S DX NIKKOR 55-300 mm f/4.5-5.6G ED VR, with its High Refractive Index (HRI) lens element and 2 Extra low Dispersion (ED) glass elements, lets you easily capture far off images, bringing all the action up close. Nikon VR (Vibration Reduction) image stabilization provides 3.0 stops of blur free hand-held shooting, assuring dramatically sharper still images and HD video capture.

Advanced PerformanceNikon technology for stunning photos: The AF-S DX NIKKOR 55-300mm f/4.5-5.6G ED VR continues Nikon’s tradition of advancing imaging technology. In addition to VR II image stabilization, it features some of Nikon’s latest lens technologies. Nikon’s exclusive Silent Wave Motor (SWM) for precise, fast, ultra quiet autofocus operation, Super Integrated Coating (SIC) for enhanced performance in low light and minimizing ghosting and flare, Tripod Detection Mode for reducing vibrations during tripod shooting and more.

Nikon Vibration ReductionNikon’s in-lens VR image stabilization which assures dramatically sharper still images and video capture when shooting hand-held.

Vibration ReductionA Nikon in-lens technology that improves image stability by automatically compensating for camera shake. Lenses that offer VR will feature the abbreviation VR on the lens barrel.

Silent Wave MotorAF-S NIKKOR lenses feature Nikon’s Silent Wave Motor, which represents a significant advance in AF lens technology.

ED (Extra-Low Dispersion) GlassAn optical glass developed by Nikon that is used with normal optical glass in telephoto lenses to obtain optimum correction of chromatic aberrations.

HRIHRI stands for High Refractive Index Lens. With a refractive index of more than 2.0, one HRI lens can offer effects equivalent to those obtained with several normal glass elements and can compensate for both field curvature and spherical aberrations. Therefore, HRI lenses achieve great optical performance in an even more compact body.

A-MA-M stands for Auto-Manual Mode. Thanks to a mechanism incorporated in the lens barrel, smooth focusing operation in Manual focus mode is realized in the same way as users have become accustomed to with conventional manual focus lenses by adding an appropriate torque to the focus ring.
