Key Features

• Extended Focal Range: The 200-500mm focal length range offers exceptional versatility, allowing you to capture distant subjects with ease. This lens is perfect for wildlife photography, sports events, and any situation where you need to be far from your subject.

• Constant f/5.6 Aperture: The lens maintains a constant maximum aperture of f/5.6 throughout its zoom range, providing consistent exposure and depth of field control. This makes it suitable for shooting in varying light conditions without the need for adjustments.

• Vibration Reduction (VR): The built-in VR II image stabilization system compensates for camera shake, providing up to 4 stops of stabilization. This feature is particularly beneficial when shooting at longer focal lengths, enabling you to achieve sharp images even at slower shutter speeds.

• Extra-Low Dispersion (ED) Glass: The lens includes three ED glass elements that effectively minimize chromatic aberration and ensure sharpness and color accuracy across the entire image. This enhances overall image quality, especially when shooting high-contrast scenes.

• Aspherical Lens Elements: Multiple aspherical lens elements help to reduce spherical aberrations and distortion, contributing to improved image sharpness and clarity throughout the frame.

• Weather-Sealed Construction: The lens is built with weather-sealing, making it resistant to moisture and dust. This feature allows for reliable performance in various outdoor shooting conditions, ensuring durability and longevity.

• Silent Wave Motor (SWM): Nikon’s SWM technology enables fast and accurate autofocus performance, while also allowing for smooth manual focus adjustments when needed. This is particularly useful for wildlife and sports photography, where quick focus is essential.

• Rotating Tripod Collar: The lens features a rotating tripod collar that allows for easy and comfortable mounting on a tripod or monopod. This is ideal for extended shooting sessions and adds stability when capturing images at long focal lengths.

• Rounded 9-Blade Diaphragm: The lens has a 9-blade rounded diaphragm that produces pleasing bokeh, helping to isolate subjects from the background and creating aesthetically pleasing out-of-focus areas.
