Featuers:

Super-fast telephoto AF-S lens with Vibration Reduction (VR) and Nano
Crystal Coat.

Nikon's exclusive Silent Wave Motor (SWM) enables ultra-high-speed
autofocusing with exceptional accuracy and powerful super-quiet operation.

Vibration Reduction (VR) technology offers the equivalent of using a shutter
speed 3 stops faster. In addition, active vibration mode selection is possible
for use in situations with a moving boat, car or plane and provides VR
performance with automatic detection of panning.

VR on/off mode available.

Internal Focusing (IF) design for smoother focusing.

Exceptionally high optical performance; compatible with both 35mm and
digital SLR models.

Three Extra-low Dispersion (ED) glass elements effectively compensate for
magnification and virtually eliminate chromatic aberration. Meniscus
protective glass element overcomes internal reflections from digital imaging
sensor.

Focus mode switch enables quick response to changing situations with quick-
switching between M/A (Manual-Priority Autofocus) and M (Manual focus)
modes. AF operation switch enables easy selection of settings.

Focus preset function instantly recalls a preset focal point.

Focus limiter switch limits AF-servo movement to a selected shooting
distance range.

Fully compatible with Nikon TC-14E II, TC-17E II and TC-20E II
teleconverters.
