On an FX body, the AF-S 28-300 ED VR covers nearly every aspect of travel, landscape, and portrait photography – including those elusive distant subjects. On a DX-format camera, the apparent focal length gets a 1.5x bump and it turns into a long-range ace-up-the-sleeve. |
For critical focusing-moments the lens has a M/A focus mode switch that allows the photographer to quickly change between manual and autofocus modes. The autofocusing is remarkably smooth and quiet – thanks to Nikon’s silent wave motor system. The aperture diaphragm boasts no fewer than 9 blades that produce a rounded opening – a feature that will be greatly appreciated by bokeh-lovers everywhere! |
