This supports clearer images with better-maintained contrast when photographing under strong stadium lighting, against the sun or in other difficult lighting conditions. A fluorine coating on the front element helps repel dust, water droplets, grease and dirt while making the surface easier to clean.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eFast, Accurate and Quiet Autofocus\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe Silky Swift VCM autofocus drive combines a voice coil motor with Nikon’s precision guide mechanism.

This helps stabilise the viewfinder image and reduce the effects of camera shake when working handheld, on a monopod or from less stable shooting positions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eBalanced for Professional Handling\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eDespite its large aperture and super-telephoto reach, the lens weighs approximately 2,950g.
