Ultra compact: The smallest DX format lens ever, now with a special edition silver finish. Image stabilized: Built-in VR image stabilization counteracts hand-held camera shake for steadier videos and sharper photos. Fast autofocus: Uses a fast, nearly silent stepping motor for autofocusing. Reduces aberrations: Extra-low Dispersion and Aspherical glass elements reduce color defects for sharper, clearer images with outstanding contrast. Custom control ring: Turn the ring on the lens to control focusing, aperture, ISO or exposure compensation.
