Also announced today are three fantastic new lenses...
Nikon has announced a brand new high-performance DX-format zoom lens. Equipped with the latest technology and boasting an incredibly compact build, the NIKKOR DX 16–80mm f/2.8–4 is made for photographers with high expectations of their gear.
The perfect go-to travel lens, this advanced, compact zoom weighs just 480g and balances perfectly on the camera. From sweeping landscapes to intimate portraiture, the broad 16–80mm focal length range easily covers most shooting situations. The bright f/2.8–4 aperture offers a distinctive low-light advantage, and Nikon’s impressive four-stop Vibration Reduction keeps images sharp even at slow shutter speeds. This is the first DX lens to boast some of Nikon’s most recent pro-grade technology, including an electromagnetic diaphragm and a protective fluorine coating. And it’s the first DX lens to include Nikon’s acclaimed Nano Crystal Coat.
Edward Allinson, Junior Product Manager for Lenses & Accessories at Nikon UK says: “The new 16-80mm is an exceptional lens that combines advanced NIKKOR technology with a superior design, encompassed in an extremely versatile and practical body. The incredibly light and compact build of the lens means it’s the ideal travel companion, as it won’t take up too much space in your bag and is guaranteed to capture stunning images. The fast f/2.8-4 aperture and adaptable wide-angle to telephoto coverage means you can use it in any situation, and the Nano Crystal Coat and powerful Vibration Reduction system ensures that you’re well equipped with the latest innovations. These excellent features are all packed into a small, slim-line body which translates into a zoom lens that’s ready for anything. The 16-80mm is proficient enough to cover most shooting situations, whether it is capturing broad landscapes or subtle portraits.”
Nikon have also announced two new professional super-telephoto lenses with the lightest build in their class: the AF-S NIKKOR 600mm f/4E FL ED VR, and the AF-S NIKKOR 500mm f/4E FL ED VR.
These new lenses see Nikon improve the performance and significantly reduce the weight of two renowned super-telephoto workhorses. The new 500mm f/4E is 20 percent lighter than its predecessor. The new 600mm f/4E is an incredible 25 percent lighter.
Both lenses have all-new optical designs that employ lightweight fluorite glass elements, as well as a Nano Crystal Coat and 3 ED glass elements. The impressive weight reductions are made possible with the use of fluorite elements, and a construction that incorporates a magnesium alloy. New technologies feature in both lenses. These include an electromagnetic diaphragm for consistent, more precise exposures during high-speed bursts: a feature that anyone who shoots fast-moving action sports will appreciate. Each lens also features the latest incarnation of Nikon’s Vibration Reduction technology, which offers an impressive four-stop advantage and includes SPORT mode for tracking fast action. Other new features include a rotating tripod collar with a Kensington lock slot, and completely new bearings for smooth switching between compositions. Also, both lenses feature Nikon’s proprietary fluorine coating, which actively repels water, dust, and dirt from the lens surface.
