View warranty terms and conditionsThe Nikon AF-S Nikkor 500mm f/4E FL ED VR is a high-end super-telephoto prime lens, designed for sports and wildlife photographers who need to capture action at long distances without sacrificing image quality. With a constant maximum aperture of f/4, this lens offers excellent performance in low-light conditions and creative control over depth of field. Its construction incorporates fluorite and ED (extra-low dispersion) elements that optimize sharpness and reduce chromatic aberrations, while its weight of 3090 grams makes it surprisingly manageable for its category.
This used example has been inspected and is guaranteed by Camera Market (6/12/24 months), ensuring optimal performance. It includes image stabilization (VR) that provides up to four stops of advantage, ideal for handheld shooting. Its autofocus is fast and accurate, and it features a 9-blade diaphragm for smooth, pleasing bokeh. If you're looking for a professional lens for nature or sports photography, this Nikkor is a solid investment.

Is this lens compatible with my Nikon camera?
The Nikon AF-S Nikkor 500mm f/4E FL ED VR uses the Nikon FX mount, so it is compatible with Nikon full-frame (FX) cameras and also with DX cameras (APS-C format), although in the latter the angle of view is reduced. To verify exact compatibility with your model, consult your camera's manual or the manufacturer's specifications.
What type of photography is this lens suitable for?
This lens is designed for sports, wildlife, and nature photography, where a 500mm reach and a bright f/4 aperture are needed to freeze action and isolate subjects. It is also useful for aerial or aviation photography. Its image stabilization helps achieve sharp shots even when handheld.
Does the lens include any accessories like a filter or cap?
The lens is sold used and may include original accessories such as caps and hood, but this may vary. We recommend checking the product description in our store to see included accessories. In any case, the lens has passed inspection and is guaranteed by Camera Market.
What is the minimum focusing distance and filter diameter?
The minimum focusing distance is 3.6 meters, allowing relatively close subjects for a telephoto of this focal length. The filter diameter is 40.5 mm (drop-in type), making it easy to use special filters without increasing the lens size.
