The Nikon AF-S NIKKOR 500mm f/5.6E PF ED VR is a super telephoto prime lens designed for action, sports and wildlife photographers.
When photographing birds, wildlife, sports or action, mobility can make the difference between nailing the shot or missing it altogether. The AF-S NIKKOR 500mm f/5.6E PF ED VR is a fraction of the size of most full-frame 500mm lenses, freeing you to be as nimble as your subjects.
