It’s time for all photography enthusiasts to rejoice and celebrate. This is because camera manufacturing giant, Nikon, has recently announced the AF-S DX Nikkor 18-140mm F3.5-5.6G ED VR DSLR lens. This is basically going to be a medium level, regular zoom lens, that could pass off for a kit lens ready to be paired with a camera. The lens is said to bear a 7.8x zoom that could consistently capture wonderful images and HD videos from a myriad focal lengths. It features a 18-140 mm range of focal length that would be adept at shooting anything from portraits to landscapes and from traveling photos to architectural images. Both wide -angle as well as long distance telephoto modes can be employed with equal potency with this lens. As per CIPA level tests, this image stabilizer was rated very highly, as it easily provided four stops of stabilization. However, word going around is that the lens will not be sold along with any of Nikon’s other DSLR cameras, since the company doesn’t feel that too many users would shell out so much dough, just to add a bit of reach to their present kit lenses. This gives rise to suspicion that Nikon might soon be announcing a body as well to go along with this ground- breaking lens.
The brand also announced the compact SB-300 speed light along with the lens. It will feature a user-friendly speed light option for those who are more keen on creative forms of lighting. Both these contraptions should be extremely versatile and capable of producing stupendous quality images and HD videos. The 18-140mm F3.5-5.6G ED VR lens is said to feature the ability to perfectly capture anything from portraits to landscapes. DX format DSLR photographers should love the zooming range that this lens might offer. Now shooting with a hand-held camera would no longer be an obstacle, because it is almost certain that the lens will be equipped with a highly efficient vibration reduction image stabilization technique. This method is known to negate any kind of blurring, graininess, or distortion that might have occurred with previous lenses. The lens will feature a VR system that will let users shoot in adverse light and climatic conditions, reducing noise and compensating for dim lighting scenarios.
