Nikon have incorporated technological advancements to ensure there are minimal optical defects. Including Nikon’s exclusive Nano Crystal (N) Coating to battle ghosting and flare cause by light entering the lens diagonally. As well as Super Integrated (SIC) Coating to amplify the contrast and colour.
Nikon have developed ED (Extra-low Dispersion) and Super ED Glass that is used alongside normal optical glass to ensure it eliminates chromatic aberrations. Super ED glass has a lower refractive index and lower light dispersion compared to ED to correct all the wavelengths that effect chromatic aberration.
Nikon have included many technological elements to ensure fast but precise focusing with the 80-400mm lens. The exclusive Silent Wave Motor speeds up the autofocus function to ensure focusing is accurate and near-silent. Fine tune the details by switching to manual mode whilst shooting by turning the focusing ring on the lens. This gives you the opportunity to quickly focus up without the lag time. The Auto-Priority Manual Mode also enables a seamless transition from autofocus to manual during AF operation.
As an Internal Focus NIKKOR Lens, during auto focusing the lens does not change in size. This makes the Nikon 80-400mm lens lightweight and compact but capable of closer focusing distances.
