A full-fledged super-telephoto zoom lens covering super-telephoto 500mm. This FX-format super-telephoto zoom lens covers the angle of view of lenses from 200mm to 500mm (equivalent to 300-750mm in 35mm format when mounted on a DX-format SLR camera). Equipped with a VR mechanism providing 4.5 stops of image stabilization* (CIPA standard compliant), it provides powerful support for super-telephoto photography. This ultra-telephoto zoom lens is easy to enjoy for everyone, from beginners to photography enthusiasts. By using the AF-S TELECONVERTER TC-14 III with an F8-compatible camera, you can extend the focal length to 700mm and use AF throughout the entire zoom range. *Normal mode. When used with a digital SLR camera equipped with an image sensor equivalent to 35mm film size. Measured at the maximum telephoto position.
Superior optical performance realistically reproduces the vibrant feathers of peacocks. The lens incorporates three ED lens elements to effectively suppress chromatic aberration. Its superior optical performance delivers excellent imaging performance throughout the entire zoom range. It brings distant peacocks into focus, and its high resolution realistically reproduces the vibrant texture of their feathers. Even at the maximum aperture of 500mm, you can enjoy sharp, high-contrast images from edge to edge. Furthermore, the shallow depth of field and significant background blur unique to ultra-telephoto zoom lenses allow you to emphasize the main subject. Equipped with a VR mode [SPORT] to support moving subject photography. The AF-S NIKKOR 200-500mm f/5.6E ED VR's VR mechanism provides improved VR performance immediately after the camera is turned on compared to previous models. The viewfinder image stabilizes immediately after powering on, allowing you to capture images with minimal blur. In addition to the VR mode [NORMAL], which is ideal for still subject shooting, the camera also features a [SPORT] mode, which is effective for capturing moving subjects. [SPORT] mode provides stable, moderate image stabilization in the viewfinder image, making it easy to track fast-moving subjects and subjects whose movement changes drastically, such as from stationary to moving, making it ideal for shooting sports scenes. [SPORT] mode does not perform pre-exposure centering, ensuring a stable viewfinder image even during high-speed continuous shooting. Furthermore, control emphasizes continuity of the viewfinder image when the camera is stopped and when it is moved, making it effective for panning. It is also compatible with tripod* and monopod shooting, making it suitable for shooting moving subjects in any situation, whether for still images or videos. *Depending on the type of tripod and shooting conditions, it may be better to turn VR off.
Electromagnetic diaphragm mechanism for stable AE The AF-S NIKKOR 200-500mm f/5.6E ED VR is equipped with an electromagnetic diaphragm mechanism that controls the aperture using an electrical signal from the body. High-precision aperture control ensures stable exposure even during high-speed continuous shooting. Even fast-moving subjects such as wild birds can be captured with the desired composition.
