Nikon AF-S DX NIKKOR 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6G VR lens
NEW NIKON AF-S DX NIKKOR 18-55MM F/3.5-5.6G VR LENS INCLUDES THE BENEFITS OF VIBRATION REDUCTION IN A COMPACT AND AFFORDABLE ZOOM
MELVILLE, N.Y. (November 19, 2007) – Nikon Inc. today introduced the
new versatile AF-S DX NIKKOR 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6G VR lens that offers
Nikon’s proprietary Vibration Reduction (VR) technology to help
consumers snap sharper photos than ever before, even while shooting
handheld. Compact and lightweight, this affordable lens is an optimum
lens to use with Nikon DX-format digital SLR cameras and is the ideal
focal length as a “first lens” to faithfully capture life’s day-to-day
moments, or a welcome addition to a Nikon D-SLR photographer’s
already-established lens assortment.
From family gatherings to sunny vacation beaches, the NIKKOR 18-55mm VR
lens produces stunning results with vivid color and incredible
sharpness. The 3x optical zoom offers users of Nikon DX-format D-SLR
cameras including the D40, D40x, D80 and new D300 with a versatile
picture angle perspective ranging from wide angle for dramatic
landscapes and interiors, to moderate telephoto that is ideal for
flattering portraits.
Beyond the lens' incredible optical versatility is the amazing benefit
of Nikon’s VR technology, which enables photographers to take
substantially sharper handheld pictures at slower shutter speeds than
would otherwise be possible. This provides the distinct advantage of
being able to shoot more effectively in a much broader variety of
challenging conditions. Nikon’s VR system affords users the ability to
take pictures at shutter speeds up to three stops slower* than they
ordinarily could shoot without the image-degrading blur caused by
camera shake at slow shutter speeds.
Like all NIKKOR lenses, the new AF-S DX NIKKOR 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6G VR
lens is engineered to exacting standards to meet the demanding needs of
digital photography. This digitally optimized lens features hybrid
aspherical elements to minimize chromatic aberration, while Nikon's
Super Integrated Coating reduces instances of lens flare and ghosting.
The lens also features Nikon’s compact Silent Wave Motor (SWM)
technology for quiet, fast and accurate autofocus performance so no
moment is missed.
The AF-S DX NIKKOR 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6G VR lens will be available beginning December 2007 at an estimated selling price of $199**.
