Maximum reproduction ratio: 1/6. 6x Filter-attachment size: 72 mm Accessories: Hood (fixed to the lens) / Case CL-38 Meniscus Protective Glass NIKKOR's exclusive protective glass for lenses comes attached to the front of fast super-telephoto lenses. Normal flat protective glass lets incoming light reflect off the surface of the image sensor or film, especially under a strong light source such as a spotlight. This then reflects again off the protective glass, resulting in a ghost effect. NIKKOR's curved meniscus glass dramatically reduces this re-reflected light, realizing clearer images with less ghosting. 20 : Aspherical lens elements : ED glass elements : Super ED glass Offering an excellent balance between size and image quality, this lens realizes great sharpness, making it an ideal super-telephoto lens for sports, wildlife or travel applications.

[. . . ] These aspherical elements are particularly useful for correcting the distortion in wide-angle lenses. Such distortions are caused by variations in the magnification of the image, depending on its distance from the optical axis. Aspherical lens elements correct these distortions by continuously changing the refractive index from the center of the lens. Since the 1960s, Nikon engineers have established design theories and lens-processing techniques to refine the aspherical lens. [. . . ]
