A convenient standard zoom lens with high quality optics, high zoom ratio and good cost performance for use with Nikon DX Format Digital SLRs.

The ample 18-70mm zoom range is equivalent to a 27-105mm lens in 35mm format offering maximum versatility to accommodate tight portraits or expansive landscapes. Optical performance is augmented through the incorporation of 3 ED glass elements and 1 composite aspherical lens that together provide appropriate compensation for aberrations.

Through the adoption of an SWM (Silent Wave Motor), the AF-S 18-70mm f/3.5-4.5G IF-ED DX Zoom enables swift, silent AF (Auto Focus) performance with the AF systems of Nikon Digital SLRs.
