This 70-180mm E/4.5-5.6D lens offers an array of advantages as it enables macro shooting throughout the zoom range, giving you a reproduction ratio of up to 0.75x. You can also adjust that ratio by zooming where you don't have to move the camera during shooting. Also, by adjusting the camera's position while zooming, you can get a range of perspectives of the same subject at the reproduction ratio for greater versatility. Plus, the lense employs ED glass which compensates for chromatic aberration and ensures high-contrast pictures and better quality for general photography too. These and other advantages make the AF Zoom-Micro Nikkor another addition to the Nikkor family for photographers t explore new grounds.
