NIKKOR lenses: Exceptional image integrity on Nikon cameras

For 75 years, NIKKOR lenses have delivered unmatched optical performance. From ultra-wide-angle to super telephoto, NIKKOR lenses have been praised the world over for their ability to deliver extraordinary sharpness, contrast, color accuracy and consistency. Many NIKKOR interchangeable lenses include the advantage of Nikon's VR (Vibration Reduction) system, allowing you to shoot up to three or four shutter speeds slower* than would otherwise be possible. This is just one of a host of innovative technologies that give NIKKOR lenses the level of quality that so many professionals demand.

*Under Nikon measurement conditions

AF-S DX NIKKOR 18-105mm f/3.5-5.6G ED VR

This is a versatile 5.8x zoom lens with VR (Vibration Reduction), making it ideal for a wide range of photography ? from landscapes to portraits. The aspherical lens element and ED glass are used for superb sharpness. (Picture angle is equivalent to a 27-157.5mm lens in 35mm and FX-formats.)

AF-S DX NIKKOR 16-85mm f/3.5-5.6G ED VR

This compact and lightweight lens covers the wide focal range of 16mm, and with VR II (Vibration Reduction), you can shoot at shutter speeds up to four stops slower* and ED glass elements control color aberration. (Picture angle is equivalent to a 24-127.5mm lens in 35mm and FX-formats.)

*Under Nikon measurement conditions

AF-S Micro NIKKOR 60mm f/2.8G ED

This impressive lens lets you shoot as close as 18.5cm /7.28 in. Its Nano Crystal Coat reduces ghost and flare lighting problems in backlit situations or when shooting towards a light source, while two aspherical lens elements and ED glass deliver precision for your close-up photography. (Picture angle is equivalent to a 90mm lens in DX-format.)
