Telephoto Zoom for Nikon DSLRs

This Nikon AF-S FX NIKKOR 200-500mm f/5.6E ED VR zoom lens covers a 200-500mm focal range on FX-format DSLRs. A constant f/5.6 aperture maintains exposure across the entire zoom range. Vibration Reduction provides up to 4 stops of stabilization with dedicated Tripod and Sports modes. The electromagnetic diaphragm ensures consistent exposure during high-speed continuous shooting.

Wildlife and Action Photographers

Photographers shooting birds, wildlife, motorsports or stage performances from a distance will benefit from the long reach and constant aperture. The lens accepts optional TC-14E series teleconverters for extended focal lengths on cameras supporting f/8 autofocus. Buyers needing wider angles for landscapes or architecture should consider a different lens.

Constant f/5.6 Aperture at 500mm

The defining specification is the f/5.6 maximum aperture that remains constant throughout the 200-500mm zoom range. Most variable-aperture super-telephoto zooms drop to f/6.3 or slower at the long end, limiting low-light capability and background separation. This constant aperture preserves autofocus performance with teleconverters and delivers consistent exposure control at 500mm.

Questions about this item

Should I choose the 200-500mm zoom or a fixed focal length for wildlife?

The 200-500mm zoom covers a wide range, letting you frame distant wildlife at 500mm and pull back to 200mm without changing lenses.

What does the constant f/5.6 aperture mean when shooting handheld?

The aperture stays at f/5.6 throughout the zoom range, so exposure settings remain consistent and you keep the same depth-of-field look from 200mm to 500mm.

How does the F-mount limit teleconverter use on my DSLR?

The lens works with 1.4x, 1.7x and 2x teleconverters, but autofocus requires a camera body that supports f/8 focusing.
