Significantly smaller and lighter with the adoption of a Phase Fresnel (PF) lens element, making 500 mm hand-held super-telephoto photography easier and more enjoyable. Designed with consideration to dust- and drip resistance; a fluorine coat was applied to the front lens surface, effectively repelling water droplets, grease, and dirt Adoption of one PF lens element and three ED glass elements for extremely sharp and detailed rendering, compatible with high pixel-count digital cameras Optical performance that is not compromised with the use of the TC-14E III AF-S teleconverter.

Pack light. Go big. Super-telephoto reimagined
When photographing birds, wildlife, sports, or action, mobility can make the difference between nailing the shot or missing it altogether. 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
Primary Features:
Materials used in the new PF lens element effectively control PF (diffraction) flare
Ghost and flare are effectively suppressed with the adoption of the Nano Crystal Coat, enabling clear images
AF speed increased by making lens elements in the focusing group lighter
Equipped with a VR mechanism that offers camera shake compensation equivalent to a 4.01-stop increase in shutter speed, in two modes: NORMAL and SPORT
Electromagnetic diaphragm mechanism adopted for extremely precise aperture control
Travel light
Nikon’s smallest, lightest full-frame 500mm prime lens ever approx. 9.3 inches long and 3.2 lbs.
Bring the world in reach
Powerful 500mm focal length (750mm equivalent on DX format) brings the shots that matter in reach
Shoot at the moment
Handheld vibrations are tamed by VR image stabilization equivalent to a shutter speed 4.0 stops faster
Proprietary Phase Fresnel technology
For 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
