Nikon AF-S Zoom Nikkor Lens

Yes, this lens is compatible with both FX (full-frame) and DX (crop-sensor) Nikon cameras. Keep in mind that on a DX body, the effective focal length will be narrower due to the crop factor.

No, this lens does not have built-in vibration reduction (VR). Because it is an ultra-wide-angle lens, it is generally easier to hand-hold at slower shutter speeds, but you may want to use a tripod for long exposures or low-light architecture shots.

The constant f/2.8 aperture allows you to maintain the same exposure settings throughout the entire zoom range. This is particularly useful for low-light shooting and maintaining consistent depth of field when you adjust your focal length.

Due to the prominent, bulbous front element and the integrated lens hood design, this lens does not accept standard screw-on filters. You will need a specialized third-party filter holder system if you intend to use ND or polarizing filters.

Yes, the lens features a rugged, weather-sealed construction designed to withstand dust and moisture. It is a reliable choice for landscape and architectural photographers who frequently work in challenging outdoor environments.

The lens utilizes a Silent Wave Motor, which provides fast, smooth, and near-silent autofocus. It is well-suited for video production where minimizing focus noise is critical to capturing clean audio.
