Optimized to draw full potential from Nikon’s high-resolution DX-format image sensors, it delivers beautiful ultra-photos and videos with softly blurred backgrounds. Its versatile 7.8x zoom range (18mm to 140mm) lets you capture everything from wide-angle family portraits to telephoto close-ups on the sports field. 4 stops of VR image stabliization means handheld photos and video, especially when capturing in low light or at maximum focal length.

The AF-S DX NIKKOR 18-140mm f/3.5-5.6G ED VR Lens from Nikon is a multi-purpose zoom lens capable of wide-angle and telephoto imaging with a 35mm focal length equivalence of 27-210mm. This all-in-one zoom lens is compatible with DX format cameras and FX format cameras in crop mode. It features an extra-low dispersion (ED) glass element and an aspherical element to improve edge and clarity while correcting chromatic and geometric distortions. Nikon's Super Integrated Lens Coating (SIC) improves light transmission and reduces ghosting and flare. The combination of high-quality optics and a broad zoom range make the 18-140mm an ideal lens for travel and other tasks that demand functionality without sacrificing portability.
Nikon's Silent Wave Motor (SWM) autofocus mechanism provides near-silent auto focusing that is both fast and accurate. Combined with Vibration Reduction (VR) image stabilization, the SWM AF system equips the AF-S DX NIKKOR 18-140mm for handheld video recording as well as fast-action photography. Additionally, manual autofocus override allows instant switching to manual focus without taking your eye off the subject. The minimum focus distance is 1.48' and its 7-blade rounded aperture helps to provide pleasing out-of-focus backgrounds.
