ikon offers over a dozen AF
Zoom-NIKKOR lenses all
of which are outstanding.
The information below will
give you a better idea of
which lenses are most suit-
able for you.
T
he most obvious starting
point when considering a zoom
lens is
focal length
, for that will
determine your range of usage.
Need a great standard zoom
for the wideangle to medium
telephoto range? For greater
wideangle coverage, the
14-
24mm, 17-35mm
and
18-
35mm
are favourites of land-
scape photographers and oth-
ers who need to shoot expan-
sive scenes. Then there are the
more powerful lenses like the
70-300mm
or
80-400mm
.
These are ideal for sports and
action photography, and for
taking shots of people from a
distance. And for truly high-
power zoom needs, the
24-
120mm
lens offers 5x ratio. Not
only is this lens versatile, this is
compact as well.
T
he
speed
, or maximum
aperture that a lens offers is
another crucial factor. There are
several AF Zoom-NIKKOR
lenses in the wide, medium
and powerful telephoto range
with a fast f/2.8 that are sure to
fit your demands. The
AF-S 14-
24mm, AF-S 17-35mm, AF-S
24-70mm, AF-S 28-70mm
and AF-S VR 70-200mm
are
all perfectly suited for hand-
held shooting in dim light.
M
acro focusing
is another
feature that most AF Zoom-
NIKKOR lenses offer. Those
lenses with the highest
reproduction ratios are the
24-85mm f/2.8-4D IF
(1/2),
and the
VR
70-200mm
f/2.8G IF-ED
(1/3.7).
