• Designed for Nikon D-Series digital SLR
• Design enables a combination of wider angle-of-view with optical characteristics that are optimized for Nikon digital SLR camera sensors
• 2x Zoom ratio and variable angle-of-view from 99 degrees at 12mm to 61 degrees at 24mm. Comparable to that of an 18-36mm lens on 35mm size sensor format
• Nikon design that produces a smaller image circle (the size of the image that is projected by the lens on to the sensor) enabling smaller lens diameter, and optimal image quality from center-to-edge-to-corner on the image
• Exclusive Silent Wave Motor enables ultra-high-speed autofocusing with exceptional accuracy and powerful super-quiet operation
• 2 Extra-Low Dispersion (ED) glass elements for minimized chromatic aberration
• 3 Aspherical lens element for low distortion
• Internal Focusing (IF) design for smoother focusing and great body balance
• M/A mode enables instant switching from autofocus to manual with virtually no time lag even during AF servo operation
• Nikon D-type design provides precise distance information for flash and ambient light exposure processes
• Rounded diaphragm to make out-of-focus elements appear more natural
• DX Nikkor is designed exclusively for use with Nikon Digital SLR models: D1, D1X, D1H, D2H, D100 and D70
• 11.8 close focusing distance throughout zoom range
