Lens Buying Guide

  • Compatible with a variety of Nikon DSLR cameras: Works with any Nikon DX or FX-format DSLR camera with an F-bayonet mount.
  • Telephoto lens provides detailed photos from a distance: Magnify distant subjects and isolate a small field of view for vivid close-up shots.
  • 500mm focal length for intense magnification: Ideal for wildlife photography, sporting events and any photo shoot that prevents you from getting close to your subject.
  • f/5.6 maximum aperture: Provides clear landscape images and beautiful distance shots even in the shade and on cloudy days.
  • Proprietary Phase Fresnel technology: Fresnel lenses were used in lighthouses to project a strong beam of light.
  • 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: 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.
  • 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.
  • Consistent, even exposures: Nikon's Electromagnetic diaphragm (E) mechanism produces extremely consistent exposures, especially during high-speed shooting.
  • Stable continuous shooting: When shooting sports or action, select SPORTS MODE VR for a specialized type of image stabilization that produces a more stable viewfinder image during high-speed continuous shooting and panning.
