The lens covers a 50–100mm focal length range on the APS-C format, equivalent to three classic prime lenses (85mm, 105mm and 135mm in 35mm equivalent). Its unusually bright maximum aperture of f/1.8 remains constant throughout the zoom range, far surpassing traditional f/2.8 telephoto zoom lenses. It performs exceptionally well in low-light environments and gives you complete control over depth of field, making your subject stand out against an exceptionally smooth bokeh.
The Art series telephoto zoom lens offers prime-lens-level optical fidelity for Nikon F-mount APS-C digital cameras.

Its advanced mechanical design ensures fast autofocus response and high resolution across the entire frame. It comes with a full set of protective accessories and a filter thread for attaching professional filters.
