Yes, it fits Nikon FX (full-frame) cameras, but the camera will automatically switch to 'DX Crop Mode,' which uses only the center portion of the sensor, resulting in lower resolution.
Yes, it features a built-in Silent Wave Motor (SWM), meaning it will autofocus on all Nikon DX DSLRs, including entry-level models like the D3000 and D5000 series.
No, it is not waterproof. While it features a rubber mount seal to resist dust and moisture, it is not weather-sealed for heavy rain or submersion.
The VR II version adds a zoom lock switch to prevent 'lens creep' and features an improved stabilization system providing up to 4 stops of compensation compared to the original's 3 stops.
