By using a sophisticated 15-element optical design, this zoom lens provides superb image quality. Canon's Micro USM is included to ensure the lens focuses quickly and silently. There's no stopping your creativity The Canon EF 70-300mm f/4-5.6 Telephoto Zoom Lens zoom lens also features optical Image Stabilization, giving the photographer an effective three stops of extra hand-held exposure for added versatility when shooting in lower light levels. Leaving IS switched on ensures consistently sharp images and is a safety net for those times when you might get too carried away with your picture-taking to keep an eye on shutter speeds! Being lightweight at just 630 grams, the Canon EF 70-300mm f/4-5.6 Telephoto Zoom Lens makes a great travel lens or all-rounder in situations when you don't want to keep switching lenses. Create space in your camera bag and be kind to your back at the same time! Features Compatibility Canon EF Optical: lenses/groups 15 elements in 10 groups Diaphragm blades 8 Minimum focusing 1.5 m Maximum magnification 0.26 (at 300mm) Filter diameter 58mm Dimensions 76.5 x 142.8 mm (D x L) Weight 630g
Nikon JAA795DA Nikon JAA795DA from £435.99. The Nikon AF-S IF-ED NIKKOR 70-300mm f/4.5-5.6G Telephoto Zoom Lens is a veritable tour de force from the Nikon brand. Capture without limits Nikon has pulled out all the stops in designing this high-powered, high-performance telephoto zoom lens. Equipped with every technology in the book, the AF-S IF-ED NIKKOR 70-300mm f/4.5-5.6G Telephoto Zoom Lens has the power to handle almost any photographic situation requiring a telephoto lens. A key enabling technology is Nikon's second-generation Vibration Reduction system (VR II), an optical image stabilisation system that is astonishingly effective in reducing the blurring effects of hand-shake. VR II stabilises the image to the equivalent extent of using a shutter speed four stops faster. This is particularly useful at the long end of the zoom or in low light conditions, and permits tack-sharp hand-held photos. Take your photography potential to the max The AF-S IF-ED NIKKOR 70-300mm f/4.5-5.6G Telephoto Zoom Lens features accurate and lightning-fast autofocus thanks to Nikon's SWM (Silent Wave Motor) and IF (Internal Focusing) systems. Manual focus is also possible, including manual focus "top-up" while in autofocus mode. With a focal length of 70-300 mm (equivalent to 105-450 mm on DX-format), the AF-S IF-ED NIKKOR 70-300mm f/4.5-5.6G Telephoto Zoom Lens covers everything from medium telephoto to super telephoto, particularly on a DX-format camera. Features Compatibility Nikon F-mount SLR cameras that support aperture adjustment on the camera body Works with both DX-format and full-frame cameras Optical: lenses/groups 17 elements in 12 groups (two ED glass elements) Aperture range f/32-40 - f/4.5-5.6 Diaphragm blades 9 (rounded) Minimum focusing 1.5 m (4.9 ft) Maximum magnification 1/4 Filter diameter 67 mm Accessories included 67 mm snap-on lens cap LF-1 rear lens cap HB-36 lens hood CL-1022 flexible lens pouch Dimensions 80.0 x 143.5 mm Weight 745g
Canon D3100 Canon D3100 from £519.00. You can enjoy fantastic photography with the Nikon D3100 Digital SLR Camera with 18-55mm Zoom Lens with AF-S DX NIKKOR 35mm f/1.8G Lens. Offering a remarkable specification in a competitively priced entry-level camera, the Nikon D3100 Digital SLR Camera with 18-55mm Zoom Lens offers a great route into creative, high quality SLR photography. Explore further photographic possibilities This 14.2 mp camera is driven by Nikon's potent EXPEED 2 image processor, and delivers photos with beautiful low-noise clarity.

Easy to use, the D3100 Digital SLR Camera sports a selection of exposure modes that cater to complete beginners and the more experienced shooter alike. If you're unused to SLR photography and want point and shoot simplicity, Scene Auto Selector will automatically choose the best scene mode for your subject. At the opposite end of the scale, those wanting more creative control can make use of the more traditional fully manual mode, or shutter and aperture priority modes. Creatively capture your moments The Nikon D3100 is an advanced camera that beginners can grow into! There's even a Guide Mode to help the less experienced photographer achieve the desired results. The lens included in this Nikon D3100 Digital SLR Camera kit is the 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6G AF-S VR DX NIKKOR. Taking the 1.5x crop factor of the D3100 sensor into account, the focal length equates to a 27-82.5mm zoom (35mm equivalent), which is great for subjects ranging from landscapes to individual portraits. The built-in Nikon VR image stabilisation allows more flexible hand-held shooting in lower lighting conditions, providing up to 3 stops of extra exposure. You'll enjoy impressive optical quality and fast, quiet focusing with this versatile kit lens! High quality lens The discerning photographer will appreciate this Nikon AF-S DX NIKKOR 35mm f/1.8G Lens , appropriate for DX-format Nikon digital SLR cameras with a 35mm equivalent focal length of 52.5mm. High performance photography Harking back to the days when cameras were supplied with a high quality standard 50mm lens, the AF-S DX NIKKOR 35mm f/1.8G Lens is a great walkabout lens for general purpose shooting. It is particularly well suited to street photography and reportage shooting. And with its fast maximum aperture it is a handy low-light performer delivering a bright viewfinder image. Low-noise auto-focusing also enables a degree of discretion that is ideal when taking candid portraits. For top optical performance, delivering pleasing defocused backgrounds, the Nikon AF-S DX NIKKOR 35mm f/1.8G Lens makes an invaluable and affordably priced addition to the camera bag of any photographer! With all of these and many other advanced features, your photography will know few limits once you have the Nikon D3100 Digital SLR Camera with 18-55mm Zoom Lens with AF-S DX NIKKOR 35mm f/1.8G Lens at your side!
