IFA Report
Nikon Europe announced a new super-telephoto lens incorporating Nikon’s exclusive VR II Vibration Reduction system. Aimed at professional sports, news and wildlife photographers, the Nikon AF-S 600mm f/4G ED VR complements the NIKKOR range of super telephoto lenses. The new Nikon 600mm f/4G ED VR super telephoto gives photographers the equivalent of a shutter speed 4 stops faster, thanks to Nikon’s VR II technology. “Lenses like these bring the photographer right to the heart of the action, even from hundreds of meters away,” said Robert Cristina, Manager Professional Products & NPS, Nikon Europe BV. “Judging from feedback we have had already, this news will be very welcomed by photographers”.

The new Nikon f/4 600mm lens incorporates Nikon’s exclusive optical coating technology, Nano Crystal coat, and ED glass elements to deliver images that are sharp, rich in contrast, with soft background bokeh, especially in low light conditions.

The VR II system features a new mode designed to specifically compensate for camera shake when using vibration reduction at slow shutter speeds on a tripod. The new Nikon AF-S 600mm f/4G lens offers quick and whisper-quiet autofocus operation, thanks to Nikon’s Silent Wave Motor. It also features new manual focus override switching designed to maintain autofocus in the event of accidental override. Photographers will also enjoy the smooth tripod collar rotation that makes changes of camera orientation very responsive.
