Standard zoom is designed for FX-format Nikon Z-mount mirrorless cameras but can also be used with DX models where it provides a 36-75mm equivalent focal length range.Three aspherical elements are used to reduce spherical aberrations and distortion in order to realise sharp imagery with accurate rendering.Two extra-low dispersion elements greatly reduce colour fringing and chromatic aberrations throughout the zoom range in order to produce greater clarity and colour rendering.Super Integrated Coating suppresses flare and ghosting for improved contrast and colour fidelity when working in strong lighting conditions.Stepping motor delivers impressively smooth, quiet, and fast autofocus performance that is well-suited to both stills and video applications.Retractable design maintains a sleek 2.9″-long form factor when the lens is not in use, making it well-suited for travel applications.Programmable Control Ring is, by default, set to adjust manual focus but can also be used to control aperture or exposure compensation.Specialised electromagnetic aperture mechanism provides greater exposure control stability that is especially beneficial when working with fast continuous shooting rates.Rounded seven-blade diaphragm promotes a pleasing out of focus quality that benefits the use of shallow depth of field and selective focus techniques.Dust- and moisture-resistant lens barrel benefits the lens’ use in inclement conditions.
