A compact all-in-one lens, ready to take on any challenge.
If you're looking for an exceptional lens that's ready for anything—the kind you keep on your camera for virtually every situation—try the new AF-S DX NIKKOR 18-140mm f/3.5-5.6G ED VR. Optimized to take full advantage of Nikon's high-resolution DX-format image sensors, it delivers superb, ultra-sharp photos and videos with softly blurred backgrounds. Its versatile 7.8x magnification range (18mm to 140mm) lets you capture everything from wide-angle family portraits to telephoto close-ups on the sports field. Four stops of Vibration Reduction image stabilization ensure sharper handheld photos and videos, especially for low-light shooting or at maximum focal length. You can even get as close as 45.1 cm (17.7 in) to your subject for macro-style shooting.
Clarity at your fingertips
7.8x wide-angle to telephoto zoom
Developed to take full advantage of high-pixel-count DSLRs, the AF-S DX NIKKOR 18-140mm f/3.5-5.6G ED VR produces stunning, detailed photos and videos throughout its magnification range. Zoom out for a wide-angle 18mm view, ideal for group shots, landscapes, or anytime you need to fit more of the scene into the frame. Zoom in to a telephoto reach of 140mm for close-ups of your favorite player from a distance. In the intermediate range, enjoy standard views similar to those seen through your own eyes and medium-telephoto views ideal for portraits. Whatever scene comes your way, you're ready to capture it.
Sharper handheld shooting
The advantage of vibration reduction image stabilization
The versatility of the AF-S DX NIKKOR 18-140mm f/3.5-5.6G ED VR is enhanced with four stops of Vibration Reduction image stabilization. Capture sharp, smooth photos and videos handheld in low light, when you want to use slower shutter speeds, and at distances requiring a telephoto lens, when even the slightest camera shake can ruin a shot.
Remarkable performances
Advanced Nikon technology and superb NIKKOR optics
The AF-S DX NIKKOR 18-140mm f/3.5-5.6G ED VR is an advanced lens designed to take full advantage of Nikon's high-resolution digital SLRs. In addition to Vibration Reduction image stabilization, it utilizes one ED (Extra-low Dispersion) glass element, which virtually eliminates flare and flare for improved contrast, and aspherical (AS) lens elements to limit aberration and improve image integrity and color. Nikon's remarkable Silent Wave Motor (SWM) delivers ultrafast and ultraquiet autofocus—a major advantage for video recording. And, of course, the AF-S DX NIKKOR 18-140mm f/3.5-5.6G ED VR offers quality NIKKOR construction and exceptional optics.
Technology
-
ED (Extra-low Dispersion) and Super ED glass
ED glass is an optical glass developed by Nikon and used with conventional optical glass on telephoto lenses to achieve optimal correction of chromatic aberrations. Super ED glass offers an even lower refractive index of light and reduced light dispersion than ED glass, excelling in the elimination of secondary spectrum and the correction of chromatic aberration.
-
Vibration reduction
A built-in Nikon technology designed to improve image stability by automatically compensating for camera shake. Lenses equipped with VR display the abbreviation VR on their barrels.
-
SWM (Silent Wave Motor) motor
AF-S NIKKOR lenses feature Nikon's Silent Wave Motor (SWM). This technology converts "traveling waves" into rotational energy to focus the lens. This results in high-speed autofocus that is extremely accurate and remarkably quiet.
-
IF Objective
A NIKKOR lens with an internal focusing system: Only the lens groups move without extending the lens. This type of lens is designated by the abbreviation IF located on the barrel.
-
AM
AM stands for Automatic-Manual mode.
-
Super integrated processing
Nikon Super Integrated Coating is Nikon's term for the multi-layer coating of the optical elements contained in NIKKOR lenses.
-
AS
AS stands for aspherical lenses. This type of lens includes non-spherical surfaces on one or both sides of the glass to eliminate certain types of aberrations.
