TOKYO – Nikon Corporation is pleased to announce the introduction of the AF-S DX NIKKOR 18-105mm f/3.5-5.6G ED VR, a new DX-NIKKOR zoom lens with built-in Silent Wave Motor and Vibration Reduction. This compact and affordable 5.8x zoom NIKKOR lens offers remarkable versatility and covers a broad focal range of 18 to 105mm. When mounted on any DX-format Nikon digital SLR camera, the picture angle is equivalent to that produced by a 27 to 157.5mm focal length lens on a 35mm-format film camera or Nikon FX-format camera.
An ultra-compact Silent Wave Motor (SWM) built into the lens body ensures fast, quiet and accurate auto-focus operation and complements the compact design for superb handling. Nikon`s VR (Vibration Reduction) function, specifically engineered for each NIKKOR lens, gives photographers the ability to shoot hand-held at shutter speeds up to three stops* slower than would otherwise be possible, thereby minimizing image blur caused by camera shake and delivering dramatically sharper pictures, especially in low-light conditions such as in interiors and at twilight. The VR function also stabilizes the camera’s viewfinder image, making composition easier and more comfortable.
*As determined in Nikon performance tests
This new high-power zoom lens is the latest addition to the DX-NIKKOR lens lineup, offering photographers a convenient single-lens solution to a broad range of photographic needs, ranging from wide-angle landscapes and interiors to portraiture and medium-range sports. Featuring a newly designed optical system with an ED glass element along with an advanced spherical lens element, the AF-S DX NIKKOR 18-105mm f/3.5-5.6G ED VR provides excellent image reproduction capability, delivering high-resolution, high-contrast images while minimizing chromatic aberration. The rounded diaphragm opening makes out-of-focus elements appear more natural while Nikon’s Super Integrated Coating ensures outstanding color balance and reproduction while greatly reducing ghosting and flare.
*As determined by Nikon performance tests; shutter speed that causes image blur varies according to each photographer’s skill and shooting conditions.
Note: DX-NIKKOR lenses are engineered and optimized for use on Nikon DX-format and FX-format digital SLR cameras. When mounted on an FX-format digital SLR, the camera’s DX-Crop Mode is automatically engaged, altering the image capture area accordingly. DX-NIKKOR lenses are not compatible with 35mm [135] or IX240 [APS] format film cameras.
