This allows users to easily carry the lens with them and enjoy super-telephoto shooting anytime and anywhere. This lens provides a wide variety of users, from those who use the D3100 and D5000 entry-level Nikon DX-format digital-SLR cameras to users of high-end digital-SLR cameras such as the D300S, with the means to enjoy super-telephoto shooting and to expand their photography techniques and skill. * DX-format 5.5x super-telephoto zoom lens with a focal length of 55-300mm. * Nikon’s first interchangeable lens to utilise a high refractive index (HRI) lens element; with a refractive index of 2.0 or higher, the use of a single HRI lens element provides the same benefits as multiple elements made of standard optical glass. It exhibits excellent contrast and sharp rendering throughout the entire frame even at maximum aperture. * Built-in vibration reduction (VR II) – The benefits of vibration reduction are best demonstrated with super-telephoto shooting. This feature stabilizes the view through the viewfinder for simpler focusing. * Two ED lens elements used for superior chromatic aberration compensation * Silent Wave Motor (SWM) for extremely quiet autofocusing.
