Extreme reach. Stunning clarity. With an incredibly lightweight build and the latest lens technologies, this fast 600mm super-telephoto shifts the balance for wildlife and sports photographers.
Two fluorite elements enhance optical performance, and substantially reduce the weight of the lens to just 3810 g. The fast f/4 maximum aperture and advanced optics ensure outstanding precision. Nikon’s Vibration Reduction offers an impressive four-stop advantage, and SPORT VR mode excels at tracking fast action. An electromagnetic diaphragm ensures precise exposures during high-speed bursts. A fluorine coating repels water, dust, and dirt, enhancing durability.
