Lens Construction

Features an STM stepping motor ensuring swift, precise, and nearly inaudible autofocus. The A/M mode integration facilitates effortless switching from autofocus to manual control during operation. Its consistent size during focusing and zooming allows a sleeker design and closer focusing distances. With advanced Vibration Reduction providing a 5.5 stop advantage, images are notably stable, particularly when tracking swift subjects.

Designed for easy subject acquisition at widest angle and significant background compression when zoomed to 600mm. Customizable control points allow rapid adjustments to exposure and other settings. The robust, weather-sealed lens body and front fluorine coating are ready for challenging environments. The rotational tripod collar enhances stability when used with tripods or monopods. Also expands reach up to 1200mm when combined with Nikon Z-series teleconverters.

Large 95mm front filter thread accommodates standard screw-in filters, though requires dedicated large-format filter accessories.
