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.
The use of one PF lens element and three ED glass elements enables extremely sharp and detailed rendering that is compatible with high pixel-count digital cameras. In addition, the materials used in the new PF lens element have been developed effectively to reduce PF (diffraction) flare, allowing light sources to be reproduced in near-original colors. In combination with Nikon's coating technologies, such as the Nano Crystal Coat, effective in controlling ghost and flare, extremely clear images are achieved.
AF speed has been increased by making lens elements in the focusing group lighter. The AF-S NIKKOR 500mm f/5.6E PF ED VR is equipped with a VR mechanism that offers camera shake compensation equivalent to a 4.01-stop increase in shutter speed. The SPORT VR mode that has been adopted is especially effective when photographing fast-moving and unpredictable subjects such as wild birds, or in scenes such as sporting events. The stabilization of the image displayed in the viewfinder is also an effective feature for recording movies.
