Nikon 500mm f5.6E PF ED VR

Lens Nikon 500mm f5.6

Contrary to popular belief, a super telephoto lens doesn't have to be a massive lens, demonstrated here with the AF-S NIKKOR 500mm f/5.6E PF ED VR NIKON . Having an exceptionally long range and giving it a portable form factor, this 500mm primer uses an element unique to Phase Fresnel to considerably reduce size and weight compared to previous versions of the focal length. This PF element, along with three extra-low dispersion elements, also helps to virtually eliminate color stripes and chromatic aberrations to achieve a high degree of clarity, sharpness and color fidelity. Complementing this advanced optical design, the individual elements also feature Nano Crystal and Super Integrated Coatings to suppress flare and ghosting, as well as a protective fluorine coating to protect the optical system from dust and moisture.

Benefiting from the optical design, this telephoto lens features a Silent Wave Motor AF system that produces fast and near-silent focusing performance to suit both photo taking and movie recording, and which can be manually overridden manually by simply turning the focus ring. VR (Vibration Reduction) image stabilization compensates for the effects of camera shakes for sharper hand shooting. In addition, an electromagnetic aperture mechanism is integrated into the lens design to provide greater exposure control stability that is especially beneficial when working with faster continuous shooting speeds.

• Super telephoto designed for use with FX-mount NIKON F-mount cameras, this lens is also compatible with DX models where it will provide an equivalent focal length of 750mm.
• The One Phase Fresnel element and three extra-low dispersion lens elements work to greatly reduce chromatic aberrations and color edges; improves the sharpness, clarity and color fidelity of the overall image; and helps minimize the overall weight of the lens.
• A layer of Nano Crystal, along with a super-integrated coating, was applied to the lens elements to minimize surface and internal reflections for a marked reduction in lens reflection and ghosting.
• Image stabilization with vibration reduction helps reduce the appearance of camera vibration by four stops, benefiting the use of this lens in low light conditions. In addition, a designated sport mode is well suited for working in fast-paced conditions and a tripod mode helps suppress subtle vibrations from the ground when working on a support system.
• The silent wave motor offers fast, quiet and accurate autofocus performance along with full-time manual focus override. An internal focus design is also used, where only groups of internal lenses move during focusing, to maintain the overall length of the lens during use, and to promote faster focusing speeds.
• The fluorine-coated front element protects the optical system.
• The dust- and moisture-resistant magnesium alloy lens cylinder benefits the use of the lens in adverse conditions.
• A removable tripod collar with the lens is included for well-balanced support when working from a monopod or tripod.
• The specialized electromagnetic aperture mechanism provides greater exposure control stability which is especially beneficial when working with fast continuous firing speeds.
