Compared to the slightly faster Nikon AF-S Nikkor 500mm f/4E FL ED VR lens, it's less than half the weight, a pretty incredible achievement. Weighing in at 1460g, the Nikon AF-S Nikkor 500mm f/5.6E PF ED VR is currently the World's lightest 500mm full-frame fixed-focal-length AF lens. The Nikon AF-S Nikkor 500mm f/5.6E PF ED VR is available for £3699.99 / $3596.95 in the UK and US respectively. The lens takes 95mm filters and offers a minimum focus distance of 3.0m. The optical formula comprises 19 elements in 11 groups and a 9-bladed iris diaphragm. The Nikon AF-S Nikkor 500mm f/5.6E PF ED VR features electromagnetic aperture control - hence the E designation in the product name - a VR Sport mode, VR tripod detection as well as a Silent Wave Motor for quiet AF operation, ED glass for further controlling chromatic aberrations and a Nano Crystal Coat for superior image quality. More than 39% shorter and 53% lighter than Nikon's other 500m lens, the AF-S Nikkor 500mm f/4E FL ED VR, the new 500mm f/5.6E PF utilises Phase Fresnel optical technology to help correct chromatic aberration and reduce the overall size and weight of the lens, while incorportating all of the features offered by its big brother at a much lower price point. The Nikon AF-S Nikkor 500mm f/5.6E PF ED VR is a new, incredibly small and lightweight full-frame telephoto lens for Nikon DSLR cameras.
