Press Release
Nikon Inc.today introduced the new 18-200mm
f/3.5-5.6G IF-ED
AF-S DX VR Zoom-Nikkor lens, a compact, lightweight 11.1x zoom
lens that is
ideal for high performance everyday photography and incorporates
advanced
features such as Nikon's Extra Low Dispersion (ED) glass, Silent
Wave Motor
technology (SWM) and Enhanced Vibration Reduction (VR II), in a
DX-Nikkor
design engineered exclusively for use with Nikon DX format digital
SLR
cameras. With a remarkable 18-200mm focal length range
(picture angle
equivalent to a 27-300mm lens in 35mm format), the lens
conveniently covers
everything from wide landscapes to tight portraits and action
photography.
Advanced Nikon engineering has lent the lens a compact lightweight
design that
offers excellent handling characteristics and superb optical
quality.
"Nikon's range of DX Nikkor lenses, designed specifically for
Nikon
digital SLR cameras, has grown substantially since the
introduction of the
category, and the new 18-200mm f/3.5-5.6G IF-ED AF-S DX VR
Zoom-Nikkor lens is
an excellent addition offering Nikon digital SLR photographers an
advanced
all-purpose lens with superb optical performance and Enhanced
Vibration
Reduction capabilities," said Edward Fasano, general manager for
Marketing,
SLR Systems Products, at Nikon Inc. "Nikkor lenses are
famous for their
breathtaking sharpness, optimal contrast and consistent color
rendition across
its range of lenses with varying focal lengths. Now with the
18-200mm f/
3.5-5.6G IF-ED AF-S DX VR Zoom-Nikkor, Nikon photographers will be
able to
take advantage of remarkable versatility in one lens with
assurance of the
outstanding Nikkor image performance that has made Nikkor lenses
renowned
worldwide."
Beyond the lens' incredible optical versatility is the
benefit of Enhanced
VR II Vibration Reduction an innovation that makes it possible to
take
substantially sharper handheld pictures at slower shutter speeds
than would
otherwise be possible. This provides the distinct advantage
of being able to
shoot more effectively in a much broader variety of challenging
conditions.
With the new Nikon VR II advantage, users can take pictures at
shutter speeds
as many as 4 stops slower* than they ordinarily could shoot
without the image
degrading blur associated with camera shake at slow shutter
speeds. Nikon's VR
technology further enhances picture taking potential with a choice
of two
modes to match most shooting conditions. VR Normal Mode primarily
compensates
for camera shake, and includes automatic panning detection, as
well as
automatic tripod detection. VR Active Mode effectively
compensates for
vibration in situations where it is more pronounced and more
frequent, such as
when shooting from a moving vehicle.
To further ensure outstanding optical performance, the
18-200mm f/3.5-5.6G
IF-ED AF-S DX VR Zoom-Nikkor features two Extra-Low Dispersion
(ED) glass
elements and three complex aspherical lens elements that provide
for higher
resolution, high-contrast images while minimizing chromatic
aberration,
astigmatism and other forms of distortion. The lens also
features Nikon's
compact Silent Wave Motor technology (SWM), which combines fast
and precise
autofocusing with super-quiet operation, as well as Internal
Focusing (IF)
construction that allows the lens to focus without changing its
external size,
improving balance and handling chrematistics.
All of Nikon's DX Nikkor lenses are engineered exclusively
for use with
Nikon DX format digital SLR cameras, making the lens smaller and
lighter while
providing exceptional center-to-edge-to-corner image quality and
overall
optical performance. With the addition of the 18-200mm
f/3.5-5.6G IF-ED AF-S
DX VR Zoom-Nikkor lens, Nikon photographers can choose from over
50 Nikkor
lenses, ranging from the amazing 10.5mm f/2.8G ED AF DX Fisheye to
the
astounding 600mm f/4D ED-IF AF-S II super Telephoto.
The 18-200mm f/3.5-5.6G IF-ED AF-S DX VR Zoom-Nikkor lens
will be
available beginning in December 2005 for an estimated selling
price of
$699.95**. For more information about Nikon and the Nikkor
