    Nikon's most powerful all-in-one zoom lens ever
    If you want a single lens that can cover every imaginable shooting situation, from wide-angle groups to ultra-high-power zoom shots, look no further than the AF-S DX NIKKOR 18 mm - 300 mm f/3.5-5.6 G ED VR. Boasting the longest reach of any NIKKOR all-in-one zoom lens, it delivers the equivalent of 450 mm - enough reach to bring the most distant action up close. Nikon's second generation VR II technology ensures every photo and HD video is razor-sharp, and Nikon's advancements in lens design deliver consistent, exceptional performance in any setting. It's also great for close-up shooting. Even more amazing, the AF-S NIKKOR 18 mm - 300 mm f/3.5-5.6 G ED VR does all this in a surprisingly compact, lightweight lens.
    No subject is too far or too close
    Building on the success of the AF-S DX NIKKOR 18 mm - 200 mm f/3.5-5.6 G VR, Nikon proudly introduces the AF-S DX NIKKOR 18 mm - 300 mm f/3.5-5.6 G ED VR for those who want even more reach in an all-in-one lens. Its astounding 16.7x zoom range goes from a wide 27 mm equivalent, great for group shots, vast landscapes and more, all the way to a super-telephoto 450 mm equivalent, enough reach for wildlife photography and more. The lens can focus as close as 1.48-ft. from your subject at 300 mm. This ultra-high-power zoom capability means no subject or composition will ever be out of reach again.
    Sharp, beautiful images in any light
    At super-telephoto focal lengths, even the slightest camera movement can cause image blur. Fortunately, the AF-S DX NIKKOR 18 mm - 300 mm f/3.5-5.6 G ED VR features Nikon's Vibration Reduction technology (VR II) to ensure every handheld photo and HD video is razor sharp. Shoot at shutter speeds 4-times slower than otherwise possible, a major advantage in low-light situations where a slower shutter speed means brighter, and richer images.
    A lifetime of brilliant performances
    Nikon's innovations in optical design and lens technology have given way to a remarkable class of NIKKOR lenses. The AF-S DX NIKKOR 18 mm - 300 mm f/3.5-5.6 G ED VR is among them. From its Silent Wave Motor (SWM) for ultra-fast, ultra-quiet autofocusing to its aspherical lens elements and Extra-low Dispersion (ED) glass elements for maximum contrast and minimum lens flare and ghosting -you can expect a lifetime of consistent brilliant performance from the AF-S DX NIKKOR 18 mm - 300 mm f/3.5-5.6 G ED VR.0
