Nikon NIKKOR 2208 80-400mm
Three ED glass elements and Vibration Reduction providing a 3-stop advantage define this 80-400mm f/4.5-5.6 5x full-frame zoom lens. A 9-blade rounded diaphragm ensures smooth out-of-focus rendering, and renewed availability makes it an affordable entry into telephoto photography. It's ideal for budget-minded wildlife and sports shooters who prioritize reach and stabilization over constant aperture or weather sealing.
