DX-format compatible, telephoto zoom lens with 55 to 200 mm* focal-length range and f/4-5.6 maximum aperture.

* Angle of view is equivalent to that of an 82.5-300 mm lens in FX/35mm format.

Remarkably compact size is realized with the retractable lens mechanism.

Vibration Reduction (VR) provides an effect equivalent to a shutter speed 4.0 stops faster*

* Based on CIPA Standard. This value is achieved when attached to a DX-format digital SLR camera, with zoom set at the maximum telephoto position.

Employing one ED glass element, superior optical performance with minimal chromatic aberration is achieved.
