Image Quality from Edge to Edge
The Nikon 18-140mm lens’ state-of-the-art optical design delivers excellent edge-to-edge image quality throughout the zoom range. Extra-low Dispersion glass and Aspherical lens elements reduce reflections, flaring, and chromatic aberrations. This produces enhanced contrast, brilliant reproduction of detail, and frame-wide sharpness for eye-catching vibrant photos and video footage.
Powerful 4-stop Vibration Reduction
Capture outstanding images even when shooting without a tripod or in low-light conditions. Vibration Reduction (VR) in the Nikon 18-140mm lens effectively controls camera shake – a common occurrence when shooting handheld or at slow shutter speeds. This feature reduces blur by the equivalent of 4 stops to help ensure your stills and movies are crisp and in focus.
Silent Wave Motor for Ultra-Quiet AF
A Silent Wave Motor (SWM) makes autofocus in the Nikon 18-140mm lens incredibly fast, accurate, and quiet. A huge advantage in all kinds of scenarios, this lets you photograph a hushed wedding ceremony, dynamic dance performance, or quick-moving wildlife without disturbing your subject, and record video without picking up unwanted operation sounds. The Nikon 18-140mm lens also features a separate MF ring for precise and intuitive manual focusing, plus an Internal Focusing (IF) System that keeps the lens’ length consistent during focusing changes.
