Telephoto Zoom for Nikon FX

This Nikon AF-S NIKKOR 200-500mm f/5.6E ED VR lens covers a long, versatile zoom range with a constant f/5.6 maximum aperture for consistent performance. Three extra-low dispersion elements reduce chromatic aberrations and distortions for increased sharpness and color accuracy. A Super Integrated Coating lessens flare and ghosting for improved contrast and clarity. The kit includes a 95mm UV filter and cleaning accessories.

F Mount Lens Build Integration

The lens uses the Nikon F mount and covers the FX format, fitting directly onto compatible Nikon DSLR bodies without an adapter. An electromagnetic diaphragm mechanism provides consistent exposure control during high-speed shooting. Internal focusing keeps the lens length constant during operation, while a Silent Wave Motor delivers fast, near-silent autofocus with instant manual focus override by turning the focus ring.

Vibration Reduction and Power Use

Vibration Reduction with Sport Mode compensates for camera shake by up to 4.5 shutter speed stops, aiding handheld shooting at long focal lengths. The electromagnetic diaphragm draws power from the camera body for aperture control. No external power source is required for the lens or its stabilization system. The aperture range extends from f/5.6 to f/32 for depth-of-field flexibility.

Questions about this item

How well does the f/5.6 constant aperture hold up during extended telephoto sessions?

The f/5.6 maximum aperture stays constant from 200mm to 500mm, so exposure does not shift when you zoom in during long shoots.

Does the lens run hot or draw extra power when Vibration Reduction is active all day?

Vibration Reduction is powered from the camera body and adds no noticeable heat; the electromagnetic diaphragm also runs cool during continuous use.

Which camera mount is required for the 200-500mm f/5.6E ED VR to function?

The lens uses a Nikon F mount and is designed for FX-format bodies; it will not mount on Z or other systems without an adapter.
