Nikon 80 400 Product Details...

The nikon 80 400 comes from a company that prides itself in pushing the envelope of lens-making for optimal performance. The 80 400mm lens is a compact, lightweight 5x telephoto zoom with Vibration Reduction. This is the equivalent of using a shutter speed three stops faster. Very handy for photographers who shoot outdoors.

Nikon Super Integrated Coating ensures the 80 400mm lens offers exceptional performance by employing an exclusive multilayer lens coating that helps reduce ghost and flare to a negligible level.  This achieves a number of objectives, including minimized reflection in the wider wavelength range and superior color balance and reproduction. It  is especially effective for lenses with a large number of elements, like the  Zoom-Nikkors.

Nikon 80 400 Minimizes Blur... 

The innovative nikon 80 400 uses VR technology to minimize image blur caused by camera shake and offers the equivalent of shooting at a shutter speed three stops (eight times) faster. This allows handheld shooting with the  80 400mm lens at dusk, at night, and even in poorly lit interiors. The lens' VR system also detects panning automatically without the need for any special mode.

The Vibration Reduction technology built into the nikon 80 400mm lens can reduce or eliminate vibration during shooting. This is clearly it's major feature and allows the photographer far greater ability to take handheld shots at shutter-speeds that would usually result in considerable blur from camera shake

Optically, nikon 80 400mm lens remarkable. It is a 5:1 tele zoom. As with just about all lenses, there is a slight loss of sharpness at full aperture, but once the lens is stopped down even one stop, sharpness at all focal lengths is quite satisfactory.
