Nikon 400mm F2.8G ED VR AF-S Nikkor Lens—Excellence and Affordability Rolled Into One

         Known to almost everybody, Nikon is one of the leading producers of high-end SLR. It a is trusted brand by photography non-enthusiasts and enthusiasts alike. The company is also known for its quality products that can produce top of the line images for a price that won’t send you running back home. Affordability plus excellence=Nikon. And this time, Nikon proves that excellence does not have to come in an expensive package. Nikon 400mm F2.8G ED VR AF-S Nikkor Lens joins the list of expensive and excellent lenses that a photographer should have. But what is the catch? It may be expensive, but take note, it is the cheapest among the most expensive lenses in the market.

         Nikon 400mm F2.8G ED VR AF-S Nikkor Lens is the ultra fast telephoto lens perfect for the Nikon system. It is a very strong and durable lens good even for your everyday use. It is made with magnesium die cast barrel for a lighter weight not to mention the professional-grade dust and moisture sealing allows it to be used in more rugged situations.

        This powerful lens features the improved Vibration Reduction (VR II) system that allows handheld telephoto shooting, even in less-than-ideally lit conditions. The VR system minimizes image blur caused by camera shake, and offers the equivalent of shooting at a shutter speed of about 4 stops faster. In addition, this lens also features the Tripod Detection mode, which reduces vibration that may occur due to shutter release, when mounted on a tripod.

        Sadly, Nikon 400mm F2.8G ED VR AF-S Nikkor Lens is not compatible with all the models of Nikon. Those which are older would have to step aside and give all the privilege to later models. Though there are models than can be used with this lens, yet the full functions may not be enjoyed.

• Tripod Detection mode reduces vibration that may occur due to shutter release when mounted on a tripod.

• Magnesium die-cast lightweight barrel and professional-grade dust and moisture resistance.

• Improved M/A mode provides instant and fast switching from autofocus to manual focus with nearly no time lag, even during tracking autofocus.

• Three ED (Extra Low Dispersion) glass elements restrict chromatic aberrations to a minimum, while enhancing color, sharpness and contrast, even at the widest aperture settings.

• Exclusive Nano Crystal Coat and a meniscus protective glass element combine to further reduce ghosting and flare for even greater image clarity.

• 9-bladed aperture diaphragm assures brilliant rendition of out-of-focus highlights.
