Nikon 17-55mm f/2.8 G DX AF-S ED-IF Zoom-Nikkor Lens with Hoya UV Filter + Accessory Kit

High-performance, ultra-wide-angle zoom perspective.
Perfect for photography in challenging lighting conditions.

The Nikkor AF 17-55mm f/2.8G ED-IF AF-S DX Zoom Lens exceeds 3x zoom range to broaden wide angle to medium telephoto photographic possibilities, and the lens maintains fast f/2.8 aperture throughout to make it practical and easy to use.

Three ED (Extra-low Dispersion) glass elements that minimize chromatic aberration and three aspherical lens glass elements that minimize distortion provide superior optical performance - even at maximum aperture and Internal Focusing (IF) design allows for smoother focusing and great body balance. Mechanical construction takes advantage of strong materials that are resilient and good looking.

A focusing distance of 1.2 foot to infinity is ideal for landscape, snapshot, candid, environmental, close-up and full length portrait photography. The M/A switch allows for fast transitions from AF to manual focus. And no power drain when manually focusing will save a bundle on battery life. The Nikon 17-55mm f/2.8 ultra-wide angle zoom lens is sure to become a valued addition to any photographer's bag.

Silent Wave Motor (SWM)
Enables high-speed autofocusing that's extremely accurate and super quiet.

Extra-low Dispersion (ED) Elements
Offers superior sharpness and color correction by effectively minimizing chromatic aberration, even at the widest aperture settings.

Three aspherical lens elements

Protect your lens and enhance your photos

The Hoya HMC Ultraviolet UV Filter is a multi-purpose filter that is designed to optimize the photography experience of the digital SLR user. UV filters absorb ultraviolet rays that often make outdoor photographs hazy and indistinct, and should be constantly fitted to a lens to provide improved clarity and color balance, as well as to provide protection to your lens.

Hoya Digital HMC filters are optimized for use with digital SLR cameras, but they are also perfect for traditional 35mm SLR applications, including black and white photography.

In addition, this HMC (Hoya Multi-Coated) filter minimizes reflections at the filter surface which reduces flare and ghosting. The result is an average light transmission of over 97%, providing sharp contrast and well-balanced color. Hoya HMC filters are recommended for enhancing the performance of today's multi-coated lenses.

Key Features:

• Multi-coating greatly reduces lens flare and ghosting
• Slim filter frame helps avoid vignetting on super wide angle lenses
• Improves clarity and color balance
• Protects your lens surface from dust and scratches

Essential items for the proper maintenance of your equipment

It's obvious that the cleaner the lens and camera sensor, the sharper your pictures will be. Dirt, dust, and fingerprints will degrade the image quality of even the finest optics. However, it's equally important to avoid using incorrect cleaning materials which can permanently damage your photo equipment.

This 6-piece cleaning kit contains everything you'll ever need to properly clean your lenses and digital SLR camera, including an air blower, soft brush, cleaning solution, lens tissues, cotton swabs, and a microfiber cloth. Also includes a soft carrying pouch.
