Normal flat protective glass lets incoming light reflect off the surface of the image sensor or film, especially under a strong light source such as a spotlight. This then reflects again off the protective glass, resulting in a ghost effect. NIKKOR's curved meniscus glass dramatically reduces this re-reflected light, realizing clearer images with less ghosting. 20 : Aspherical lens elements : ED glass elements : Super ED glass Perfect for dedicated sports and wildlife photographers, this extremely long 600mm telephoto captures distant subjects with amazing clarity.

Nano Crystal Coat effectively reduces ghost and flare effects under harsh lighting, such as in backlit situations. [. . . ] However, mode switch sensitivity has been altered to reduce the possibility of sudden unintentional switching to manual focus while shooting. A-M mode switch/ring/lever Thanks to a mechanism incorporated in the lens barrel, smooth focusing operation in Manual focus mode is realized in the same way as users have become accustomed to with conventional manual-focus lenses by adding an appropriate torque to the focus ring. AF-S NIKKOR lens with SWM for quiet autofocus Nikon's original Silent Wave Motor (SWM) converts "traveling waves" into rotational energy to drive the optics used for focusing. The two SWM lens types ­ ring type and compact type ­ are specifically chosen to match each lens's specs and design. Any AF-S NIKKOR lens featuring these SWMs delivers extremely smooth, quiet and comfortable auto focusing for both general shooting as well as extreme situations, such as sports and wildlife. Nano Crystal Coat minimizes ghost and flare effects to provide clear images Originating from Nikon's work in semiconductor Reflected light manufacturing technology, NIKKOR's Nano Incident light Conventional multilayer Crystal Coat is an antireflective coating that coating employs an extra-low refractive index coating Lens featuring ultra-fine, nano-sized* crystal particles. These crystallized particles eliminate Without coating reflections inside the lens throughout the spectrum of visible light waves (380 to 780 Incident light Reflected light nm) in ways that far exceed the limits of Nano Crystal Coat conventional antireflection coating systems.
