When photographing birds, wildlife, sports or action, mobility can make the difference between nailing the shot or missing it altogether. The Nikon AF-S NIKKOR 500mm f/5.6E PF ED VR Lens is a fraction of the size of most full-frame 500mm lenses, freeing you to be as nimble as your subjects.
FEATURES:
Travel light - Nikon’s smallest, lightest full-frame 500mm prime lens ever—approx. 9.3 inches long and 3.2 lbs.
Bring the world in reach - Powerful 500mm focal length (750mm equivalent on DX-format) brings the shots that matter in reach.
Shoot in the moment - Handheld vibrations are tamed by VR image stabilization equivalent to a shutter speed 4.0 stops* faster.
Outstanding image quality - When combined with Nikon’s Extra-low Dispersion (ED) glass and other NIKKOR glass elements, the Phase Fresnel element produces high resolution, high contrast images with beautiful background blur.
Fast autofocus - Lighter, more compact optics don’t just benefit your mobility—a lighter focus lens group allows the autofocus system to focus faster, too. With the AF-S NIKKOR 500mm f/5.6E PF ED VR, Nikon’s Silent Wave Motor (SWM) is able to operate at peak performance for fast, quiet autofocus.
