The Nikon AF-S DX NIKKOR 55-300mm f/4.5-5.6G ED VR is a versatile and compact telephoto zoom lens that opens up a new world of shooting possibilities for DX-format DSLR users. Picking up where a standard 18-55mm lens leaves off, its powerful 5.5x zoom range provides a 35mm equivalent focal length of 82.5-450mm. This massive reach is perfect for capturing the action at sporting events, getting frame-filling shots of timid wildlife, and isolating beautiful details in your travel and landscape photography.
To ensure your long-distance shots are sharp and clear, this lens features Nikon’s 2nd generation Vibration Reduction (VR II) system, which provides up to 3 stops of stabilization to counteract the effects of camera shake. The lens’s advanced optical design includes two Extra-low Dispersion (ED) elements and a High Refractive Index (HRI) element to deliver sharp, high-contrast images with minimal aberrations. With a quiet Silent Wave Motor for autofocus, the 55-300mm VR is the perfect, budget-friendly lens.
