This tiny 7 oz camera lens is among the most portable in Nikon's lineup. The wide-angle lens catches all detail of the subject, making it ideal for anyone from photojournalists to hobbyists. The flick of a switch transfers the camera from automatic to manual mode for uninterrupted shooting with either focus option. This lens has a standard 35 mm focal length, which makes it ideal for candid shots taken on-the-go. In addition, the Nikkor AF-S has a silent wave motor, making its autofocus feature a snap. It has a wide enough focus to let the photographer get up close and personal without disturbing the subject, so it is ideal for animal photography as well. The lens coating is specifically designed to reduce discoloration and flare for a crisp shot every time.
