The AF-S VR 105 f/2.8G IF-ED brings the benefits of vibration reduction (VR) to the domain of Macro photography. It offers high-resolution, high-optical performance for both digital & 35mm film format SLR cameras. This lens incorporates Nikons second-generation vibration reduction system (VR II) that allows flexible h&-held shooting by stabilizing the image to the equivalent stability of a shutter speed that is 4 stops faster when compared with a conventional lens (as determined by Nikon performance test). The SWM (Silent Wave Motor) & IF (Internal Focusing) ensure quiet autofocusing with quick & convenient switching between autofocus & manual operation. Optical performance is enhanced by an ED (Extra-low Dispersion) glass element that minimizes chromatic aberration, & Nano Crystal Coat which drastically reduces flare, enabling finely defined, clear images.
