The Nikon AF-S NIKKOR 200-500mm f/5.6E ED VR is a powerful super-telephoto zoom lens designed for wildlife, sports, and nature photography. This versatile lens delivers a constant f/5.6 maximum aperture throughout the entire 200-500mm focal length range, ensuring consistent optical performance and beautiful out-of-focus backgrounds. The optical design features three extra-low dispersion (ED) glass elements to minimise chromatic aberration and enhance image clarity, complemented by Super Integrated Coating to reduce flare and ghosting. Built with Nikon's Silent Wave Motor (SWM) for fast and nearly silent autofocus, the lens also incorporates Vibration Reduction (VR) image stabilisation with up to 4.5 stops of compensation, available in both Normal and Sport modes for fast-paced shooting. The internal focus design allows close focusing at 2.2 metres, and an electromagnetic diaphragm mechanism provides precise exposure control during continuous shooting. With its rotating tripod collar, 9-blade diaphragm for smooth bokeh, and 95mm filter thread, this hand-holdable telephoto zoom is ideal for professional and enthusiast photographers seeking exceptional reach and reliability.
