The well-designed optical system achieves high-resolution images for any shooting scenes throughout the frame.

Axial chromatic aberration is effectively suppressed from close distances to infinity, via the employment of one aspherical ED glass and three ED glass elements.

The constant maximum aperture of f/4 enables free zooming, facilitating photo expression according to photographers' intentions for both stills and movies.

Nano Crystal Coat and ARNEO Coat effectively reduce ghost and flare, ensuring clear, sharp rendering even under backlit conditions.

Maximum reproduction ratio of 0.39x (at minimum focus distance of 0.35 m) enables users to enjoy impressive close-up shooting.

While covering a 120-mm focal length, longer than that of competitors' products, the lens body achieves the lightest weight* of approx. 630 g.

* Among interchangeable zoom lenses for mirrorless digital cameras with interchangeable lenses equipped with a 35mm film size image sensor, with a focal-length range from 24 mm at the wide-angle end to 105-120 mm at the telephoto end, and a maximum aperture of f/4 or less, available as of October 28, 2021. Statement based on Nikon research.

A stepping motor (STM) is employed for quiet and responsive AF control.

The body is designed to achieve superior dust- and drip-resistant performance* for enhanced reliability.

* Thorough dust- and drip-resistance is not guaranteed in all situations or under all conditions.

Impressive movie recording performance is realized by intensive consideration even of details such as focus breathing compensation and minimized operational sound.
