Wide angle apertures or close up, this Nikon lens brings the beautiful details in your images to life. Utilizing a special lens treatment 2 elements are treated with extra low dispersion coatings that eliminate aberrations and distortions that normally would plague your shot especially at super wide angle apertures. The built in vibration reduction technology helps stabilize the image shot, especially when moving or the camera is on a tripod and may vibrate with the shutter closing. This lens has a new technology that senses the tripod and adjusts the lens accordingly to compensate for the vibration.
