Q & A
“E” is a reference to an E-Type lens which uses electronic aperture blade control for improved auto exposure accuracy during continuous shooting. Please note, E lenses have very limited compatibility. Refer to the camera compatibility list under Resources to determine whether or not this is the appropriate lens for your needs.
“AF-S” refers to Auto Focus that features Nikon’s Silent Wave Motor or “SWM.”
“FL” designates a lens containing some elements made with fluorite rather than glass. This allows the lens to be lighter without compromising optical quality.
“ED” stands for “Extra-Low Dispersion” Glass and is a reference to specialized glass used for the correction of chromatic aberrations.
“VR” or “Vibration Reduction” is a reference to Nikon’s proprietary in-lens image stabilization.
Due to its electromagnetic aperture mechanism, this lens isn’t compatible with Nikon D90/D200/D2 DSLRs or older.
