This ultra-compact 18-55mm 3X zoom provides superb versatility in a wide variety of shooting situations. Designed exclusively for Nikon DX format SLRs, this lens approximates the picture angle performance of a 27-82.5mm lens on the 35mm format. Silent Wave Motor (SWM) with compact rod-type design enables ultra-high speed autofocusing with exceptional accuracy and super-quiet operation. ED glass element achieves minimized chromatic aberration and superior optical performance. Hybrid aspherical element ensures high resolution and contrast. Focus Mode switch enables quick-switching between A (Autofocus) and M (Manual Focus). 7-blade rounded diaphragm is designed for more natural out-of-focus highlights. Nikon Super Integrated Coating minimizes ghosting and flare to provide even higher contrast and more vivid images, even in challenging light conditions.
