The AF-S NIKKOR 500mm f\/5.6E PF ED VR is a fraction of the size of most full-frame 500mm lenses, freeing you to be as nimble as your subjects.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFor nearly two centuries, Fresnel lenses were used in lighthouses to project a strong beam of light. By harnessing the idea in reverse—for gathering light instead of projecting it—Nikon engineers can create lenses that are shorter and lighter, with the same image quality and zoom power of much larger lenses.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"title_OMS5rN7R1Z\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"text_TAw0W35QK_ comfy_TAw0W35QK_ sizeTitle4_TAw0W35QK_ weightBold_TAw0W35QK_ primary_i3MsQsqoe0\"\u003eKey Features\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"list_OMS5rN7R1Z\"\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"listItem_OMS5rN7R1Z\"\u003eF-Mount Lens\/FX Format\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"listItem_OMS5rN7R1Z\"\u003eAperture Range: f\/5.6 to f\/32\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"listItem_OMS5rN7R1Z\"\u003eOne Phase Fresnel Element\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"listItem_OMS5rN7R1Z\"\u003eThree Extra-Low Dispersion Elements\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"listItem_OMS5rN7R1Z\"\u003eNano Crystal \u0026amp; Super Integrated Coatings\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"listItem_OMS5rN7R1Z\"\u003eFluorine-Coated Front Lens Element\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"listItem_OMS5rN7R1Z\"\u003eSilent Wave Motor AF System\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"listItem_OMS5rN7R1Z\"\u003eVibration Reduction, Sport\/Tripod Modes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"listItem_OMS5rN7R1Z\"\u003eElectromagnetic Diaphragm Mechanism\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"listItem_OMS5rN7R1Z\"\u003eDetachable, Rotatable Tripod Collar\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eLighter, more compact optics don’t just benefit your mobility—a lighter focus lens group allows the autofocus system to focus faster, too.

One of the most notable features of this lens is its compact size and lightweight design.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt just 1440g, it is significantly lighter than other 500mm lenses on the market, making it much easier to carry and use in the field. This is due in part to the use of a Phase Fresnel (PF) element, which helps to reduce the overall size and weight of the lens without sacrificing image quality.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSo it can be used with complete confidence, even in unpredictable climates, the Nikon AF-S 500mm f\/5.6E PF ED VR Lens features a rugged, weather-sealed design, as well as a protective fluorine coating.
