Nikon Disc. 28-200mm f/3.5-5.6 G ED-IF AF Wide Angle Telephoto NIKKOR Zoom Lens with HB-30 Hood - Black Finish - USA with 5 Year U.S.A. Warranty

The AF Zoom-Nikkor 28-200mm f/3.5-5.6G IF-ED lens features a selection of Nikon's innovations including Super Integrated Coating (S-IC), Internal Focusing Construction (IF), three Extra Low Dispersion glass (ED) elements and three aspherical lens elements. Super Integrated Coating, a form of multiple layer coating, is a Nikon technology that has evolved through years of development. With Super-IC, color performance is enhanced within the system and each lens' flare Internal Focusing Construction is a technology that allows the lens to be focused without changes in the lens' external size. While, a constant size helps maintain balance, special control of optical movement allows lenses to focus closer and with consistent image quality. Extra Low Dispersion glass is a high index, low dispersion glass that enables high optical performance from this wide-range compact zoom lens. Through low dispersion characteristics the lens' color performance is enhanced, adding sharpness and contrast to the image. Aspheric lens elements minimize lens aberrations such as coma, and correct distortions in wide-angle lenses that contribute to a lighter, more compact design. The G-Type feature is designed for the newest Nikon 35mm and digital SLR models that allow aperture control directly from the camera body. The design facilitates better lens handling and helps photographers keep a more positive grip on the camera. This firmer grip and balance helps photographers get sharper images, even as they adjust exposure and quickly shoot their pictures.
