The AF-S NIKKOR 16-35mm f/4G ED VR Lens from Nikon delivers crisp, clear and non-distorted images with a versatile set of wide-angle focal lengths. It is alens often found in the kits of working photojournalists due to its comprehensive wide-angle coverage, relative light weight and durability. On DX formatDSLRs it provides the 35mm focal length equivalence of 24-52.5mm. The optical design features 17 lens elements in 12 groups and includes 2 Extra-lowDispersion (ED) and 3 aspherical elements to reduce chromatic aberrations and distortion and lend high contrast images. Nano Crystal Coating virtuallyeliminates internal lens element reflections across a wide range of wavelengths and reduces flare and ghosting.Fast, accurate and quiet autofocus is accomplished via Nikons exclusive Silent Wave Motor (SWM) and Internal Focus (IF) enables fast autofocus withoutchanging the length of the lens, retaining working distance throughout the focus range. Manual focus override allows for precise control over criticalfocus even when in AF mode. The VR II image stabilization system reduces the blur caused by camera shake enabling 2.5 shutter speed stops of compensationin dim light. Practically, this means that handheld shooting is possible in almost all situations. The lens also features a rounded 9-blade diaphragm whichcreates a natural appearance in out-of-focus areas of your images.Definitive Wide-Angle Zoom Lens
This versatile wide-angle zoom lens is perfect for photojournalism, travel, landscapes, cityscapes, and general photography. On DX format DSLRs itprovides the 35mm equivalent focal range of 24-52.5mm.

Internal Focus (IF)
Internal Focus (IF) provides fast and precise autofocus without changing the length of the lens, retaining working distance throughout the focusrange.
Nikon VR II (Vibration Reduction)
Updated Vibration Reduction II, engineered specifically for each VR NIKKOR lens, enables handheld shooting at up to 2.5 shutter speeds slower thanwould otherwise be possible, assuring dramatically sharper still images and video capture.
Two Extra-Low Dispersion (ED) Elements
Two Extra-low Dispersion (ED) elements offer superior sharpness and color correction by effectively minimizing chromatic aberration, even at thewidest aperture settings.
Three Aspherical Lens Elements
Aspherical lens elements virtually eliminate coma and other types of aberration, even when shooting at the widest available aperture.
Nano Crystal Coating
The Nano Crystal lens coating reduces ghosting and interior flare across a wide range of wavelengths for even greater image clarity.
M/A Focus Mode Switch
The M/A focus mode switch allows quick changes between manual and autofocus operation.
Rounded 9-Blade Diaphragm
