Key Features:
Super-Telephoto Zoom Range (200-500mm)
The Nikkor 200-500mm f/5.6E ED VR lens provides an expansive zoom range, giving you the ability to frame distant subjects with ease. Whether you’re capturing wildlife in motion, tracking athletes in a fast-paced sports event, or zooming in on a scenic view, the extended zoom range ensures you'll never miss a shot.
- 200mm – 500mm: Perfect for capturing everything from medium-range subjects to the farthest details.
Constant f/5.6 Aperture
This lens features a constant aperture of f/5.6, ensuring consistent exposure settings throughout the zoom range. Whether you're shooting at 200mm or 500mm, you won’t need to adjust your exposure settings when zooming in or out, allowing for smoother operation and better low-light performance.
Vibration Reduction (VR) Technology
Nikon's VR (Vibration Reduction) system minimizes camera shake and reduces blur, ensuring sharper images even when shooting handheld at longer focal lengths. This feature is invaluable when shooting at longer zoom ranges or in low light conditions, giving you the confidence to capture steady shots in challenging environments.
- Reduced camera shake: Perfect for handheld shooting at long focal lengths.
- Stabilised performance: Ideal for handheld shots or in situations where using a tripod isn’t possible.
ED (Extra-low Dispersion) Glass Elements
The lens incorporates Extra-low Dispersion (ED) glass elements, which reduce chromatic aberration and enhance the sharpness and colour accuracy of your images. Whether you're shooting at maximum telephoto or wide-open at f/5.6, the ED elements help produce clear, high-contrast images with minimal distortion.
- Reduced chromatic aberration: Achieve sharp, vibrant images with minimal colour fringing.
- Superior sharpness and contrast: Ideal for capturing fine details and textures at long distances.
Fast Autofocus Performance
The Silent Wave Motor (SWM) provides fast, accurate, and nearly silent autofocus, even at maximum zoom. This is particularly important for fast-moving subjects like wildlife or athletes, ensuring you can lock focus quickly and capture the decisive moment.
- Fast, quiet autofocus: Ideal for both stills and video shooting.
- Precise subject tracking: Keep up with moving subjects with ease.
