Beyond its groundbreaking portability, the AF-S NIKKOR 500mm f/5.6E PF ED VR ensures stunning image quality worthy of the NIKKOR legacy. Its optical construction incorporates Extra-Low Dispersion (ED) glass elements for superior correction of chromatic aberrations, while Nikon's Super Integrated Coating virtually eliminates flare and ghosting, resulting in images with exceptional sharpness, contrast, and color fidelity.

Designed for peak performance, this lens features Nikon's Silent Wave Motor (SWM) for incredibly fast, accurate, and near-silent autofocus, ensuring you capture decisive moments without distraction. The Internal Focusing (IF) mechanism maintains the lens's compact dimensions during operation and facilitates a close minimum focus distance of 9.8 feet. With both M/A and A/M focusing modes, photographers can seamlessly transition between auto and manual focus for precise control. The bright f/5.6 maximum aperture offers excellent low-light capability and beautiful subject isolation, making the AF-S NIKKOR 500mm f/5.6E PF ED VR an indispensable tool for demanding super-telephoto applications.
