Nikon AF-S NIKKOR 28-300mm f/ 3.5 - 5.6G ED VR Overview
Covering an immense wide to tele range, the AF-S NIKKOR 28-300mm f/ 3.5 - 5.6G ED VR from Nikon is a versatile all-in-one zoom designed for FX-format cameras. Helping to maintain high image quality throughout the extensive 10.7 x zoom range is an advanced optical design that uses aspherical and extra-low dispersion glass to suppress aberrations and distortion. A Super Integrated Coating is also used to minimize flare and ghosting for improved contrast and color accuracy. Also benefitting image quality is VR II image stabilization, which compensates for up to 3.5 stops of camera shake to help realize sharp imagery when shooting handheld.
Additionally, a Silent Wave Motor is used to provide fast and precise autofocus performance, along with full-time manual focus override. The UX UV filter with newly added water repellent coating is a redesign of the HMC UV (C) filter, now integrated into the new entry class UX series along with the CIR-PL Slim filter. The UX UC filter is a completely new concept design product targeting the entry class users and providing high quality standards with basic and contemporary functions. "UX" in the series name stands for "User eXperience", as to indicate all the experiences that users will acquire through using these filters and all that comes with.
By naming this series UX, we aim to offer users better individual experiences through all the activities connected with photography. Though not visible to the naked eyes, UV rays may affect the image when shooting in locations like seaside or mountainous environments, resulting in blurred contours or faded and whitish images. UV filters can suppress the UV spectrum contained in daylight that mainly causes poor effects on the images. This filter can be used with both film and digital cameras, and assures more vivid images. In addition, by keeping it constantly attached, this filter serve as everyday lens protection.
