Description:
The Nikon 70-300mm VR II is an extremely accomplished super telephoto zoom lens conceived to unite the requirements equally for DSLR and 35mm SLR photographers.
It provides a 4.3x zoom with a spread of 70-300mm (Nikon DX D-SLR equivalent 105-450mm ) and includes Extra-low Dispersion (ED) glass elements that make certain of outstanding optical achievements.
This lens stabilizes an image equivalent to employing a
shutter speed four stops faster compared to a conventional
lens. it encompass Nikon's 2nd generation VRII (vibration reduction system) which permits adaptable hand-held shooting.
The Silent Wave Motor (SWM) and Internal Focusing (IF) makes certain of rapid and hushed focusing. The nine-blade diaphragm is rounded and allows elements that are
out-of-focus (bokeh) to intermingle smoothly to create natural-looking, congruent backgrounds.
The casing is all plastic, hard to to Auto-Focus at 300mm focal range. the
1.5x crop factor (105-450mm equivalent) might make for more of a zoom lens than you need.
The lens could be faster (F/4 would be nice)

Features
AF-S Autofocus lens featuring a Silent wave,
coreless, integrated, focus motor (unwrapped in 1996). Basically an
updated AF-I Autofocus-Silent sporting a "Silent Wave Motor" (ultrasonic) to
focus near silently and fast.
DX - NIKKOR - Compact and lightweight
Nikon DX lenses feature a lesser image circle and are specifically created and
optimized for the Nikon D-series, digital SLR camera bodies. An ideal option for
photographers and enthusiasts who require shooting of expansive landscapes with
Nikon DX DSLR
Two ED- (Extra-low Dispersion Elements)
a necessary element of the Nikon telephoto lens
Nikon engineered Extra-low Dispersion optical glass to facilitate the
manufacture of lenses that provide superior color correction and sharpness by
diminishing chromatic aberrations
FX-format
The leading factor setting the Nikon
FX apart from other sensors is the large size of the pixels, which allows
for more light collection.
G - labeled after the f-number.
All the newer AF lenses, including AF-S and specifically G, are also D.
Nikon no longer makes an effort to mark the D.
G-lenses contains no aperture ring, therefore aperture may only be
electronically controlled by the camera and only autofocus camera bodies
featuring function dials have the capacity to control G lenses
IF- Internal Focusing
The ability to have a lens focus while it's size remains unchanged. Nikons
IF engineering allows that to happen. All internal optical travel is contained
within the inside of the non-extension lens container.
RD- Rounded Diaphragm
Soft-focus images of point light resources create accepted polygonal shapes that
mirror the form of the cavity produced by the diaphragm blades.
SWM- Silent Wave Motor
Nikon AF-S engineering is yet one more rationale why professional
photographers like Nikon telephoto optical lenses
VR II system
Provides the equivalent of employing a 4 stops faster shutter speed This second generation VR is known as VR II, that was engineered to provide an
additional 1-stop improvement over the initial VR
