Features
Overview: This item is an AF-S DX Zoon-Nikkor 17-55mm, f/2.8G
IF ED, wide angle to standard zoom lens, optimized use with Nikon digital SLR
cameras (DX- format using an APS-C image sensor).
Construction: The three Extra-low Dispersion (ED) elements and
three aspherical lenses control chromatic aberrations while enhancing sharpness
and contrast even at the widest aperture settings.
Nikon Super Integrated Coating (SIC): SIC offers superior
color performance and substantially reduced ghosting and flare.
Built-in CPU: The lens has a built-in CPU which allows it to
communicate with the camera body for focus and exposure functions. A set of CPU
contacts is located on the lens mount for interfacing with the camera body.
Auto Focus: Nikon's Silent Wave Motor (SWM) enables
ultra-high-speed autofocusing with exceptional accuracy and super-quiet
operation. The manual/auto focus mode switch allows quick response to
situations requiring manual focus operation.
Zoom Control: The lens features a large, textured manual zoom
ring for easy zooming control.
Aperture: Because there is no aperture ring on this lens, the
aperture must be set on the camera.
Diaphragm: The lens is equipped with a fully-automatic, 9-blade
diaphragm that produces a nearly circular aperture. Out-of-focus images in front of
or behind the subject are rendered as pleasing blurs.
Optional Accessories: Compatible optional accessories include
77mm screw-on filters. Teleconverters are not compatible with this lens.
