Nikon AF-S NIKKOR 200-500mm f/5.6E ED VR Lens

The AF-S NIKKOR 200-500mm f/5.6E ED VR Lens from Nikon is a telephoto zoom lens with a long and versatile zoom range. It features a constant f/5.6 maximum aperture for consistent performance throughout the zoom range. The optical design includes three extra-low dispersion glass elements, which effectively reduce chromatic aberrations and distortions, resulting in improved sharpness and color accuracy. A Super Integrated Coating is applied to the lens elements to minimize flare and ghosting, enhancing contrast and clarity in various lighting conditions.

The lens incorporates a Silent Wave Motor AF system, offering fast and near-silent autofocus performance suitable for both still photography and video recording. Manual focus override is available by simply turning the manual focus ring. Vibration Reduction (VR) image stabilization compensates for camera shake by up to 4.5 shutter speed stops, allowing for sharper handheld shots. The lens also features an electromagnetic aperture mechanism, ensuring greater exposure control stability, especially when working with fast continuous shooting rates.

Key Features:
– Designed for use with FX image sensors, but also compatible with DX sensors, providing a 300-750mm equivalent focal length range.
– Constant f/5.6 maximum aperture ensures consistent performance throughout the zoom range.
– Three extra-low dispersion elements minimize color fringing and chromatic aberrations, resulting in improved clarity and color accuracy.
– Super Integrated Coating suppresses internal reflections, flare, and ghosting, enhancing contrast and color accuracy in strong lighting conditions.
– Silent Wave Motor enables quick, quiet, and precise autofocus performance, with full-time manual focus override. Internal focusing design maintains the lens’s overall length and promotes faster focusing speeds.
– Vibration Reduction image stabilization reduces the appearance of camera shake by up to 4.5 shutter speed stops, making it effective in low-light conditions. Sport Mode is available for fast-paced shooting scenarios.
– Rotating tripod collar provides balanced support for tripod or monopod use, with vertical and horizontal shooting orientations.
– Electromagnetic aperture mechanism ensures greater exposure control stability, especially beneficial for fast continuous shooting rates.
