Product - Nikon AF-S DX Zoom-Nikkor 18-135mm f3.5-5.6G IF-ED

High performance, compact and lightweight 7.5x zoom lens designed especially for Nikon DX format digital SLR’s

The AF-S DX Zoom-Nikkor 18-135mm f/3.5-5.6G IF-ED is a compact, lightweight 7.5x zoom lens featuring state-of-the-art optical technologies such as Nikon’s ED glass, aspherical lens elements and SWM (Silent Wave Motor).

This lens has a focal length range of 18-135mm, which is suitable for a wide variety of shooting situations ranging from sports, action and portraits to wide-angle landscapes (the picture angle is equivalent to a 27-202.5mm lens in the 35mm format). With advanced Nikon engineering, in particular the compact SWM, a compact lightweight design with excellent handling characteristics has been realized.

The optical design features one ED glass element and two hybrid aspherical lens elements to assure high-resolution, high-contrast images while minimizing chromatic aberration, astigmatism and other forms of distortion. The compact SWM built into the lens offers the smooth and quiet autofocus performance expected from Nikon’s Nikkor Lenses.
Note: This lens is designed exclusively for use with Nikon DX format digital SLR cameras and is not compatible with 35mm [135] or IX240 format film cameras.
