Fast f/2.8 & 6-Stop VR Stabilisation

The constant f/2.8 aperture gathers more light for:

• Faster shutter speeds

• Beautiful subject isolation

• Soft, natural bokeh

• Improved low-light performance

With up to 6 stops of in-lens Vibration Reduction, and enhanced performance via Synchro VR on compatible Z bodies, you gain outstanding stability across the frame.

Supercharged Autofocus Performance

This lens features Nikon’s most advanced AF system yet:

• 3.5x faster autofocus than the previous generation

• 50% quieter AF operation

• 45% reduction in scan time at 200mm

• 40% more accurate focus tracking while zooming

Silky Swift voice coil motors (VCM) and a refined guide mechanism deliver rapid, precise and near-silent focusing — ideal for both stills and video.

Advanced Optical Design

A streamlined 18-element optical construction in 16 groups includes:

• 1 ED glass element

• 1 Super ED glass element

• 1 SR element
