The Nikon AF-S NIKKOR 600mm f/4E FL ED VR Lens is a telephoto lens designed for sports, wildlife, and nature photography. It features a sophisticated optical design that reduces the lens's overall weight while enhancing image quality. The inclusion of two fluorite elements and four extra-low dispersion elements minimizes chromatic aberrations across the aperture range. Furthermore, Nano Crystal and Super Integrated Coatings effectively mitigate flare and ghosting, resulting in improved contrast and clarity. The lens is also equipped with a front fluorine-coated meniscus glass element, and its weather-resistant magnesium-alloy barrel allows for reliable performance in adverse conditions.
This lens excels in dynamic environments and low-light scenarios, as its Vibration Reduction image stabilization technology counteracts camera shake by up to four stops. Additionally, the lens offers dedicated Sport and Tripod Modes to ensure sharper images tailored to specific shooting needs. The Silent Wave Motor autofocus system delivers rapid and nearly silent focusing, making it suitable for both still photography and video recording, with the option for instant manual focus override by turning the focus ring. Moreover, an electromagnetic aperture mechanism is incorporated into the design, providing enhanced exposure control stability, particularly advantageous for high-speed continuous shooting.
- Super telephoto designed for use with FX-format Nikon F-mount cameras, this lens is also compatible with DX models where it will provide a 900mm equivalent focal length.
- Two fluorite and four extra-low dispersion lens elements work to reduce chromatic aberrations; improve overall image sharpness, clarity, and color fidelity; and help to minimize the overall weight of the lens.
- A Nano Crystal Coat, along with a Super Integrated Coating, has been applied to lens elements to minimize surface and internal reflections for a marked reduction in lens flare and ghosting.
- Vibration Reduction image stabilization helps to reduce the appearance of camera shake by up to four shutter speed stops, benefiting this lens's use in low-light conditions. Additionally, a designated Sport Mode is well-suited to working in fast-paced conditions and a Tripod Mode helps to suppress subtle ground vibrations when working atop a support system.
- Silent Wave Motor affords quick, quiet, and precise autofocus performance along with full-time manual focus override. An internal focusing design is also used, where only the internal lens groups are moved during focusing, to maintain the overall length of the lens during use and to promote faster focusing speeds.
- Fluorine-coated front meniscus glass element affords protection to the optical system.
- Dust- and moisture-resistant magnesium-alloy lens barrel benefits the lens' use in inclement conditions.
- A removable tripod collar is included with the lens for well-balanced support when working from a monopod or tripod. The collar ring also incorporates ball bearings for smooth transitions between horizontal and vertical shooting orientations.
- Specialized electromagnetic aperture mechanism provides greater exposure control stability that is especially beneficial when working with fast continuous shooting rates.
- This mechanism limits the compatibility of this lens to the following cameras: D5, D4, D3 series, Df, D850, D810, D810A, D800/E, D750, D700, D610, D600, D500, D300/S, D7500, D7200, D7100, D7000, D5600, D5500, D5300, D5200, D5100, D5000, D3400, D3300, D3200, D3100, Nikon 1 J1, J2, J3, J4 with FT-1, Nikon 1 V1, V2, V3 with FT-1, and Nikon 1 S1, S2 with FT-1.
