Nikon AF-S Nikkor 200-500mm f5.6 ED VR

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

High-performance telephoto zoom lens with a long reach. With a focal length of 200 to 500 mm and a f/5.6 aperture throughout, this FX-format lens unlocks an expanded level of versatility in supertelephoto photography.

Whether shooting wildlife, birds, aircraft or action-packed sporting events, this lens delivers consistent performance. The focal length range of 200 to 500 mm opens up an exceptional range for photographers. The constant speed of 1:5.6 allows for consistent exposure times when photographing the same subject with different focal lengths. Nikons effective image stabilizer allows blur-free shots with up to 4.5 EV longer exposure times. The VR mode "SPORT" ensures a stable viewfinder image when tracking fast subject movements. Electromagnetic aperture control has the advantage of greater exposure consistency, especially in fast continuous shooting.

• Super telephoto Zoom lens for FX format: offers a versatile focal length range from 200 to 500 mm (focal length equivalent with DX format cameras: 300-750 mm). Ideal for shooting wildlife, birds, aircraft or action-packed sporting events.
• Constant speed of 1:5.6: Enables consistent exposure times when photographing the same subject with different focal lengths.
• High imaging performance: Three ED (Extra-low Dispersion) glass lenses reduce chromatic aberration to a minimum.
• Image Stabilizer (VR): compensates for camera shake and enables shooting with exposure times up to 4.5 EV longer.* "SPORT" VR mode ensures a stable viewfinder image when tracking fast subject movement. The image stabilizer enables nearly the same frame rate and shutter lag values as when VR is disabled. The VR mode "SPORT" provides a stable viewfinder image when tracking moving subjects such as birds in flight or fast sports.
  * In "Normal" mode according to CIPA standard.
• Fast AF operation: Nikons Silent Wave Motor (SWM) guarantees extremely fast and quiet autofocus with the ability to access manual focus at any time.
• Electromagnetic iris: For greater consistency of exposure, especially during fast continuous shooting.
