This AF-S DX NIKKOR 18-300mm f/3.5-6.3G ED VR Lens has a 16.7x zoom compared to the 7.8x zoom of the AF-S DX NIKKOR 18-140mm f/3.5-5.6G ED VR Lens. Since they both have a minimum focal length of 18mm they have the same maximum angle of view: 76°. However, when fully zoomed to 140mm the 18-140 has an angle of view of 11°30’ while the 18-300 has an angle of view of 5°20’ when fully zoomed to 300mm. This means that distant objects can be made to appear larger with the 18-300 than with the 18-140. The 18-300 has 16 lens elements with 3 ED glass elements and 3 aspherical elements, while the 18-140 has 17 elements with 1 ED glass element and 1 aspherical element. ED glass elements and aspherical elements are both designed to improve lens performance by correcting for different types of lens aberrations. Both of these are DX format lenses featuring Nikon’s Vibration Reduction (VR) image stabilization as well as Nikon’s Super Integrated Coating which is an which exclusive multilayer lens coating that helps reduce ghost and flare. Both are AF-S lenses, indicating that they feature Nikon's Silent-Wave autofocus motor - allowing them to autofocus on the D5500.
