Telephoto Zoom for Nikon FX

The AF-S NIKKOR 200-500mm f/5.6E ED VR Lens covers a versatile 200 to 500mm focal range on FX-format cameras. It is built for photographers who need long reach for wildlife, sports or aviation subjects. The constant f/5.6 maximum aperture maintains consistent exposure across the entire zoom range.

Constant f/5.6 Aperture Through 500mm

The lens holds a fixed f/5.6 maximum aperture from wide to telephoto, so exposure settings do not shift while zooming. An electromagnetic diaphragm mechanism provides stable exposure control during high-speed continuous shooting. The aperture stops down to f/32 for depth-of-field control.

Vibration Reduction Up to 4.5 Stops

VR image stabilization compensates for camera shake by up to 4.5 shutter speed stops, aiding handheld shooting at long focal lengths. A dedicated Sport Mode optimizes the algorithm for panning action. The Silent Wave Motor drives fast, quiet autofocus with instant manual override via the focus ring.

Questions about this item

What does the constant f/5.6 aperture mean when I zoom from 200mm to 500mm?

The maximum aperture stays at f/5.6 across the entire zoom range so exposure settings remain consistent whether you are at 200mm or 500mm.

How many stops of shake correction does the Vibration Reduction system provide and what does Sport Mode change?

Vibration Reduction compensates up to 4.5 shutter speed stops and Sport Mode optimises the algorithm for erratic motion such as panning action.

What mount does this lens use and will it fit directly on my FX-format Nikon body?

It uses the Nikon F mount and is designed for FX-format cameras so it mounts natively without an adapter.
