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

The Nikon AF-S 500mm f/5.6E PF ED VR Lens is a professional telephoto lens with a long focal length (500mm) designed for wildlife, sports, and fast-action photography. It features a relatively lightweight design compared to most traditional 500mm lenses, thanks to the “Phase Fresnel (PF)” technology that reduces weight and size. 

Camera Lens Features:

• A fixed focal length of 500mm allows for capturing very distant subjects with precision.

• Lightweight and compact design due to the PF element, measuring approximately 237mm in length and weighing around 1.46kg (about 3.2 pounds) — a very low weight for a lens of this focal length. 

• A constant aperture of f/5.6 provides good performance in adequate light and enhances portability compared to heavier f/4 lenses.

• Vibration Reduction (VR) technology offers up to about 4 stops of compensation for camera shake, enhancing handheld shooting for wildlife or sports photography. 

• Advanced glass elements: includes 3 ED elements along with the PF element, reducing chromatic aberrations and improving contrast and clarity. 

• Fluorine coating on the front lens for easy cleaning and protection against dust and water.
