Nikon 800mm f/5.6E FL ED VR Lens
This super-telephoto prime lens uses Nikon F mount and covers FX format sensors. Its optical design includes two fluorite and two extra-low dispersion elements plus Nano Crystal and Super Integrated Coatings to control aberrations, flare and ghosting. A Silent Wave Motor drives fast, near-silent autofocus with full-time manual override. Vibration Reduction offers Sport and Tripod modes and the barrel is fully weather-sealed.
Wildlife, sports and aviation photographers
The fixed 800mm focal length and f/5.6 maximum aperture suit specialists who can work with a single long perspective. Photographers who require zoom flexibility or wider angles for environmental shots should consider other lenses. The f/5.6 aperture also limits low-light action work without high ISO settings. Buyers needing a lighter lens for all-day hand-held use may find the size demanding.
800mm focal length with f/5.6 maximum aperture
This combination determines whether the lens matches the subject distance and lighting conditions you face. The f/5.6 to f/32 aperture range sets depth-of-field control and exposure options. The 800mm angle of view on FX format is the single specification that decides if this focal length fits your typical shooting scenarios.

Questions about this item
How do I decide whether the 800mm f/5.6E FL ED VR is the right focal length for my FX camera?
The 800mm focal length on an FX body gives extreme telephoto reach for wildlife or sports; the fixed f/5.6 maximum aperture and f/32 minimum set the exposure envelope, while the two fluorite and two ED elements keep the long barrel manageable.
What does the f/5.6 maximum aperture mean when I am shooting handheld with this lens?
At f/5.6 the lens gathers enough light for daytime action; the built-in Vibration Reduction with Sport and Tripod modes steadies the viewfinder image so slower shutter speeds stay sharp without a monopod.
How does the F-mount interface limit what I can do with this 800mm lens on a modern Nikon body?
The F-mount fits all FX and DX Nikon DSLRs; the electromagnetic diaphragm (E) gives precise aperture control during continuous shooting, and the Silent Wave Motor drives fast, quiet autofocus on any body that supports AF-S lenses.
