Maximum reproduction ratio: 1/6. 6x Filter-attachment size: 72 mm Accessories: Hood (fixed to the lens) / Case CL-38 Meniscus Protective Glass NIKKOR's exclusive protective glass for lenses comes attached to the front of fast super-telephoto lenses. 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 Offering an excellent balance between size and image quality, this lens realizes great sharpness, making it an ideal super-telephoto lens for sports, wildlife or travel applications.

[. . . ] Since the 1960s, Nikon engineers have established design theories and lens-processing techniques to refine the aspherical lens. In 1968, the OP Fisheye-Nikkor 10mm f/5. 6 became the first interchangeable SLR lens incorporating aspherical lens elements. Since then, aspherical lenses have been an important part of the NIKKOR lens family, with every new addition to the lineup providing a new level of contrast, resolution and compact design. M/A mode for quick switching from AF to MF Simply by rotating a focus ring, M/A mode allows you to switch from autofocus to manual with virtually no time lag. This makes it possible to seamlessly switch to fine manual focusing while looking through the viewfinder. A/M (auto-priority manual) mode This mode also enables an easy transition from autofocus to manual during AF operation. [. . . ]
