The AF-S DX NIKKOR 18-140mm f/3.5-5.6G ED VR Lens from Nikon
is a multi-purpose zoom lens capable of wide-angle and telephoto
imaging with a 35mm focal length equivalence of 27-210mm. This
all-in-one zoom lens is compatible with DX format cameras and FX format
cameras in crop mode. It features an extra-low dispersion (ED) glass
element and an aspherical element to improve edge sharpness and clarity
while correcting chromatic and geometric distortions. Nikon's Super
Integrated Lens Coating (SIC) improves light transmission and reduces
ghosting and flare. The combination of high-quality optics and a broad
zoom range make the 18-140mm an ideal lens for travel and other tasks
that demand functionality without sacrificing portability.
Nikon's Silent Wave Motor (SWM) autofocus mechanism provides near-silent
auto focusing that is both fast and accurate. Combined with Vibration
Reduction (VR) image stabilization, the SWM AF system equips the AF-S DX
NIKKOR 18-140mm for handheld video recording as well as fast-action
photography. Additionally, manual autofocus override allows instant
switching to manual focus without taking your eye off the subject. The
minimum focus distance is 1.48' and its 7-blade rounded aperture helps
to provide pleasing out-of-focus backgrounds.
