Compact DX telephoto zoom
The Nikon 2197-IV AF-S DX NIKKOR 55-300mm f/4.5-5.6G ED VR is a 5.5x telephoto zoom lens designed for Nikon DX-format DSLR cameras. It covers a focal range of 55 to 300mm, delivering an angle of view equivalent to 82.5 to 450mm in 35mm format. The lens uses a Silent Wave Motor for fast, quiet autofocus and includes two ED elements plus a high refractive index element to control aberrations while keeping the barrel compact. It suits photographers shooting sports, wildlife, travel and family events at distance.
Mount and filter compatibility check
Verify that your camera body uses the Nikon F mount and supports AF-S autofocus drive; some older entry-level bodies lack an internal focus motor and will not autofocus with this lens. The front filter thread measures 58 mm, so any circular polariser, UV protector or neutral-density filter must match that diameter. Ensure the lens hood supplied in the box clears your preferred filter thickness to avoid vignetting at the wide end.
Build integration and shooting freedom
Mount the lens directly on any compatible DX DSLR — no adapter or external power source is required. Vibration Reduction II provides up to four stops of shake correction, and its tripod detection mode automatically disables VR when the camera is locked down, freeing you to shoot handheld at slower shutter speeds for sharper stills and smoother video. The compact optical formula keeps the kit light for all-day carry, while the 5.5x range lets you frame distant action without swapping lenses.
