Ideal for FX and DX travel shooting
This Nikon AF-S NIKKOR 28-300mm f/3.5-5.6G ED VR lens covers a broad 28-300mm focal range on FX-format D-SLRs. The 10.7x zoom ratio handles landscapes, portraits and distant subjects in a single optic. VR II image stabilization assists handheld shooting. It suits photographers wanting one lens for varied scenes.
Verify F mount and filter size
Confirm your camera uses the Nikon F mount before ordering. The lens accepts 77 mm filters at its front thread. Autofocus relies on the in-lens Silent Wave Motor, so it functions on bodies without a built-in focus motor. Minimum focus distance is 1.64 ft across the zoom range.
Adds VR stability and close focus
Internal focusing keeps the barrel length constant during operation. The zoom lock switch prevents creep when the camera hangs on a strap. Two ED and three aspherical elements reduce aberrations. Super Integrated Coating cuts flare. The nine-blade diaphragm produces rounded highlights. M/A focus mode allows instant manual override.

Questions about this item
Does the 2191 lens ship with a 77 mm filter thread protector or must I buy one separately?
The lens has a 77 mm filter thread; any circular filter or protector of that size is sold separately.
Should I choose the FX or DX format setting for my D-SLR?
The 2191 covers both FX and DX formats; on DX bodies the 28-300 mm range gives an angle of view equivalent to 42-450 mm in FX terms.
What does the 10.7x zoom ratio mean for handheld shooting with VR II?
The 10.7x range spans 28-300 mm and VR II allows handheld shots at up to four shutter speeds slower than normal across the entire zoom.
