Smooth, fast autofocus: Nikon’s Stepping Motor

Nikon’s new Stepping Motor focuses quickly and is ideal for shooting movies. Thanks to the new motor, this lens performs more quietly and is even faster than its predecessor. When zooming in to capture a photo, you can bring subjects into focus instantly and with absolute precision. When you’re shooting video footage, the motor allows you to smoothly shift focus from subject to subject with practically no drive noise.

This DX-format NIKKOR lens is specifically designed to make the most of your Nikon D-SLR’s high pixel count and advanced image sensor.
