Nikon AF-S DX NIKKOR 18-140mm f/3.5-5.6G ED VR

A compact all-in-one lens that's ready for anything.

If you're looking for an outstanding grab-and-go lens-the kind you'll keep on
your camera for nearly every situation-check out the new AF-S DX NIKKOR 18-140mm
f/3.5-5.6G ED VR. Optimized to draw full potential from Nikon’s high-resolution
DX-format image sensors, it delivers beautiful ultra-sharp photos and videos
with softly blurred backgrounds. Its versatile 7.8x zoom range (18mm to 140mm)
lets you shoot everything from wide-angle family portraits to telephoto
close-ups on the sports field. 4 stops of VR image stabliization means sharper
handheld photos and video, especially when shooting in low light or at maximum
focal length. You can even get as close as 1.48-feet from your subject for
macro-style close-ups!



Clarity within reach 7.8x wide-angle to telephoto zoom

Developed with high pixel count D-SLRs in mind, the AF-S DX NIKKOR 18-140mm
f/3.5-5.6G ED VR delivers vibrant, detail-rich photos and videos across its
entire zoom range. Zoom out for an 18mm wide-angle view that’s great for group
shots, landscapes or any time you need to fit more into the frame. Zoom in for
140mm of telephoto reach-enough zoom to capture close-ups of your favorite
player from the sidelines. In between, you have standard views similar to what
you see with your eyes and medium telephoto views ideal for portraits. Whatever
shot comes your way, you’ll be ready to catch it.



Sharper handheld shooting The VR image stabilization advantage

The AF-S DX NIKKOR 18-140mm f/3.5-5.6G ED VR versatility is strengthened by 4
stops of VR image stabilization. Capture sharp, shake-free handheld photos and
videos in low-light situations, when you want to use slower shutter speeds, and
at telephoto distances, when even the smallest amount of camera shake can ruin a
shot.



Exquisite performance

Advanced Nikon technology and superb NIKKOR optics

AF-S DX NIKKOR 18-140mm f/3.5-5.6G ED VR is an advanced lens designed to get the
most from high-resolution Nikon D-SLRs. In addition to VR image stabilization,
it uses ED (Extra-low Dispersion) glass, which virtually eliminates reflections
and lens flare for better contrast and Aspherical (AS) lens elements for
minimizing aberration and improving image integrity and color. Nikon’s
remarkable Silent Wave Motor (SWM) provides ultra-fast, ultra-quiet
autofocusing, a major advantage when recording video. And, of course, the AF-S
DX NIKKOR 18-140mm f/3.5-5.6G ED VR has NIKKOR’s renowned quality of
construction and outstanding optics.





ED (Extra low Dispersion) and Super ED Glass

ED Glass is an optical glass developed by Nikon that is used with normal optical
glass in telephoto lenses to obtain optimum correction of chromatic aberrations.
Super ED glass exhibits an even lower refractive index and lower light
dispersion than ED glass, while excelling at eliminating secondary spectrum and
correcting chromatic aberration.





Vibration Reduction

A Nikon in-lens technology that improves image stability by automatically
compensating for camera shake. Lenses that offer VR will feature the
abbreviation VR on the lens barrel.





Silent Wave Motor

AF-S NIKKOR lenses feature Nikon’s Silent Wave Motor (SWM), which represents a
significant advance in AF lens technology. SWM uses ultrasonic vibrations-rather
than a gear system-to focus the lens, providing incredibly smooth, silent and
precise autofocus operation.





IF Lens

A NIKKOR lens in which only the internal lens group shifts during focusing.
Thus, IF NIKKORS do not change in size during AF operation, allowing for
compact, lightweight lenses capable of closer focusing distances. These lenses
will be designated with the abbreviation IF on the lens barrel.





A-M

A-M stands for Auto-Manual Mode. Thanks to a mechanism incorporated in the lens
barrel, smooth focusing operation in Manual focus mode is realized in the same
way as users have become accustomed to with conventional manual-focus lenses by
adding an appropriate torque to the focus ring.





Super Integrated Coating

Nikon Super Integrated Coating is Nikon's term for its multilayer coating of the
optical elements in NIKKOR lenses.





AS

AS stands for Aspherical lens elements. This type of lens utilizes non-spherical
surfaces on either one or both sides of the glass in order to eliminate certain
types of lens aberration
