When photographing birds, wildlife, sports or action, mobility can make the difference between nailing the shot or missing it altogether. The AF-S NIKKOR 500mm f/5.6E PF ED VR is a fraction of the size of most full-frame 500mm lenses, freeing you to be as nimble as your subjects.
Proprietary Phase Fresnel technology
For nearly two centuries, Fresnel lenses were used in lighthouses to project a strong beam of light. By harnessing the idea in reverse¡ªfor gathering light instead of projecting it¡ªNikon engineers can create lenses that are shorter and lighter, with the same image quality and zoom power of much larger lenses.
Ready for the field The AF-S NIKKOR 500mm f/5.6E PF ED VR is extensively weather-sealed and includes a protective front meniscus with Nikon¡¯s Fluorine Coating (FLC), which repels water droplets, dust and grime and easily wipes clean.
Nikon¡¯s smallest, lightest full-frame 500mm prime lens ever¡ªapprox. 9.3 inches long and 3.2 lbs.
Powerful 500mm focal length (750mm equivalent on DX-format) brings the shots that matter in reach.
Handheld vibrations are tamed by VR image stabilization equivalent to a shutter speed 4.0 stops* faster.
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.
When shooting with a DX format DSLR or a full-frame DSLR in DX-Crop Mode, the AF-S NIKKOR 500mm f/5.6E PF ED VR produces a whopping 750mm equivalent angle of view. Add the optional AF-S Teleconverter TC-14E III for 1.4x more reach with only 1-stop loss of light and maintain autofocus.
Lighter, more compact optics don¡¯t just benefit your mobility¡ªa 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.
