Nikon AF-S NIKKOR 500mm f/5.6E PF ED VR Super Telephoto Lens

Supporting a 500mm focal length, Nikon's AF-S NIKKOR 500mm f/5.6E PF ED VR Super-Telephoto Lens (Product 20082) is a high-performance, FX-format, super-telephoto lens which uses a Phase Fresnel (PF) lens element that has significantly reduced the size and weight of the lens.

This results in hand-held super-telephoto photography being easier and more enjoyable.

This fixed focal length Super-Telephoto Lens is compatible with the Nikon FX Format of digital SLR cameras including the Nikon Z Series as it delivers exceptional agility as well as offering superior optical performance and functionality.With a maximum diameter of 106 mm and length of 237 mm, the AF-S NIKKOR 500mm f/5.6E PF ED VR, which weighs 3.22 pounds (1,460g - roughly the same weight as the AF-S NIKKOR 70-200mm f/2.8E FL ED VR) is significantly lighter than previous 500mm lenses which can typically weigh up to more than 6.61 pounds (3,000g).

The AF-S NIKKOR 500mm f/5.6E PF ED VR is designed with consideration to dust- and drip-resistance, which in addition to the fluorine coat applied to the front lens surface, allows greater agility when shooting.
