The new optical design features three ED (Extra-low Dispersion)<br \/>\nglass elements that minimize chromatic aberration, producing<br \/>\nconsistently high-quality images. Nano Crystal Coat, extra-low<br \/>\nrefractive index coating, virtually eliminates internal lens element<br \/>\nreflections across a wide range of wavelengths, and is particularly<br \/>\neffective in reducing ghosting and flare. A meniscus protective glass<br \/>\nelement also minimizes the ghosting that occur when light reflected<br \/>\nfrom a digital camera&rsquo;s image sensor is in turn reflected off an<br \/>\nordinary flat protective glass element.<\/span><br \/>\n<\/span>\n<\/p>\n<p>\n<span style=\"font-size: 10pt; font-family: tahoma,arial,helvetica,sans-serif\"><span class=\"text2_2\">Nikon&rsquo;s<br \/>\nexclusive Silent Wave Motor (SWM) provides fast autofocus with superior<br \/>\naccuracy and ultra-quiet operation. All lenses feature nine-blade<br \/>\nrounded diaphragms that ensure a more natural look for parts of a scene<br \/>\nintended to be out of focus. The minimum focus distances are 2.9 m\/9.5<br \/>\nft. (400mm f\/2.8G), 4.0 m\/13.1 ft. (500mm f\/4G) and 5.0 m\/16.4 ft.<br \/>\n(600mm f\/4G) respectively (at AF) &mdash; much shorter than their<br \/>\npredecessors.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><\/span><br \/>\n<!--\/[unit]--><br \/>\n<!--\/[block]--><br \/>\n<!--\/[contents]--><br \/>\n<!--[contents]--><br \/>\n<!--[block]-->\n<\/p>\n<table border=\"0\" cellpadding=\"0\" cellspacing=\"0\" width=\"533\">\n<tbody>\n<tr align=\"left\" valign=\"top\">\n<td><!--[unit]--><br \/>\n\t\t\t<span style=\"font-size: 10pt; font-family: tahoma,arial,helvetica,sans-serif\"><span class=\"text2_2\">Ergonomically arranged switches and buttons<br \/>\n\t\t\tenable easy access and comfortable operation even during handheld<br \/>\n\t\t\tshooting.

Nikon&rsquo;s VR II system<br \/>\nminimizes image blur caused by camera shake, offering a shutter speed<br \/>\nup to the equivalent of four stops faster.* The newly added Tripod mode<br \/>\nreduces vibration that may occur at shutter release when shooting with<br \/>\na super-telephoto lens attached to a tripod. Another big advantage of<br \/>\nNikon&rsquo;s VR function is that it gives photographers the option of a<br \/>\nnatural viewfinder image even during VR operation. <\/p>\n<p>\n<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[16],"tags":[3717,3719,3720],"class_list":["post-1956","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-nikon","tag-chromatic-aberration","tag-lens-element","tag-protective-glass"],"aioseo_notices":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.masterchong.com\/v4\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1956","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.masterchong.com\/v4\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.masterchong.com\/v4\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.masterchong.com\/v4\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.masterchong.com\/v4\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1956"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.masterchong.com\/v4\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1956\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.masterchong.com\/v4\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1956"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.masterchong.com\/v4\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1956"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.masterchong.com\/v4\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1956"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
