Nikon NIKKOR AF-S FX NIKKOR 500mm f/4E FL ED

81.4 Macro Score
500mm f/4 Nikon F IS Weather Sealed
Why we recommend this

The fluorite and ED glass elements in this 500mm f/4 prime deliver sharp chromatic aberration control, paired with vibration reduction that compensates up to 4 stops for handheld stability. The SPORT VR mode specifically steadies erratic subject tracking, and the magnesium-alloy body with fluorine coating withstands harsh field conditions. This lens is best for wildlife and sports photographers who need fast Silent Wave Motor autofocus and rugged stabilization to capture distant, fast-moving subjects.

This lens is ideal for wildlife and sports shooters who demand handheld telephoto reach without the bulk of an f/2.8 optic.
