A marvel of optical design: the groundbreaking 800mm prime. Introducing one of the most impressive feats of NIKKOR engineering yet— the remarkable full frame AF-S NIKKOR 800mm f/ 5.6E FL ED VR. Offering sports, news and wildlife photographers the pinnacle of reach and performance, it combines advanced NIKKOR optics and lens technology within a dust- and water-resistant magnesium-alloy body. With Nikon's exclusive Silent Wave Motor (SWM) providing ultra-fast, ultra-quiet autofocusing, lightweight fluorite lens elements improving optical performance and handling, Vibration Reduction enabling faster handheld shooting* and an electromagnetic diaphragm for consistent exposures during high-speed bursts, the AF-S NIKKOR 800mm f/ 5.6E FL ED VR sets a new standard for super-telephoto lenses. And with the included AF-S Teleconverter TC800- 1.25E ED, you can increase overall focal length to a whopping 1000mm (1500mm equivalent on DX-format cameras). Conquer distance like never before. *Based on CIPA Standard Go the distance 800mm super-telephoto power plus an included 1.25 x teleconverter As the longest lens in the NIKKOR lineup, the AF-S NIKKOR 800mm f/ 5.6E FL ED VR delivers an astounding 800mm (1200mm equivalent on DX-format cameras) of super-telephoto reach with a fast f/ 5.6 maximum aperture in a rugged, well-balanced design.
But for even greater reach, the lens includes a matched 1.25 x teleconverter (TC 800- 1.25E ). This high-performance 1.25 x teleconverter has an Extra-low Dispersion (ED) glass element for superior sharpness and color correction, and it increases the lens' overall focal length to 1000mm (1500mm equivalent on DX-format cameras). Superb optical performance Superior NIKKOR optics for exceptional results The AF-S NIKKOR 800mm f/ 5.6E FL ED VR is a marvel of NIKKOR optical design. The lens is comprised of 20 elements split into 13 lens groups. The front and second elements are fluorite (a lightweight mono-crystal optical material), which provides sup
