Product features in detail
AF-P functionality
Thanks to the stepping motor, which is a new addition to NIKKOR lenses, quiet and quick autofocusing is guaranteed. Upon zooming in to a subject, precision focussing happens instantly, and you can change focus when capturing video with hardly any drive noise.
Retractable lens
The retractable lens mechanism ensures it is highly portable and can be kept attached or quickly packed away, depending on your needs.
Switching manual and auto focus
For this first time on a Nikon lens, users can switch between auto and manual focus in the camera menu. With no switches on the lens barrel, you don't have to worry about accidentally changing settings whilst shooting.
Two aspherical elements
There are two aspherical elements within the lens that minimise spherical aberration and other types of distortion, so crisp, vivid images are easy to achieve.
Our Verdict
Being the first Nikon AF-P digital SLR lens, it utilises stepping motors for fast and quiet autofocusing and as such is ideally suited for recording video, though performs very well in many applications.
Its compact and lightweight construction means it is highly portable, and the ability to switch between manual and auto focusing modes in the camera menu ensures you won't accidentally switch settings mid-shot.
