The Nikon 18-300mm AF-S VR is a compact, versatile, telephoto lens that's ideal for travelling. The wide-angle to long zoom range covers most situations, so it could be the only lens you'll need. ED glass & aspherical lens elements ensure high resolution and contrast. The Vibration Reduction helps to keep images free from blur, even when shooting handheld at the super-telephoto end of the range. This is a brand new item sold in its retail box by a VAT registered UK company.
