About this product

Product Information

Whether you plan on sightseeing or just want to take quality photos from far away, the Nikon 500mm f8 lens gives your Nikon camera that extra edge, allowing you to take crisp and clear photos. It features both auto and manual focus, making it perfect for use by both professional and amateur photographers. This particular mirror lens also runs on the lighter side for Nikon lenses, which makes it appeal to many frequent travelers. It is the lightest of the reflex-Nikkor line, eliminating the need to use a tripod when using it for long shots. For that reason, many nature photographers rely on it when they are outdoors trying to capture wildlife. Those wanting to take their camera out in the field also love the lightweight design. This reflex-nikkor weighs approximately 2 pounds, while most other compatible lenses weigh in closer to 10 pounds. Another advantage to taking the Nikon 500mm f/8 out in the wild or even just using it for photos on the beach is the fact that it comes with a 82mm front filter and a 39mm rear filter to protect the lens against elements like dirt and dust. Its size fits to all Nikon digital cameras, and it results in sharper pictures compared to some of the older reflex-Nikkor lenses as well as other comparable models. Since it is a mirror lens, the Nikon 500mm f/8 lens allows for a wider range of images that are hard to capture using other equipment. The mirror has a coated reflection to result in more refined photos, also featuring a five-degree picture angle to give you the best view from any side. Having an f/8 aperture allows you to take many photos in a small window of time. This comes in handy in many situations, like photographing sports, animals, or children. An f/8 aperture is also helpful if you plan on taking a road trip and want to try and snap a few photos along the way without stopping and getting out of the vehicle. Overall, the f/8 aperture coupled with a focal length of 500mm gives you the opportunity to capture clear shots of the surrounding landscape as you travel and sightsee. The new construction of the Nikon 500mm f/8 has eliminated the dreaded hot spot or bokeh donut effect many photographers complained about from earlier Nikkor lenses comparable to this model. For that reason, this lens responds better to different lights and is used in high light settings like a bright sunny morning or at night, lighted by natural moonlight. Images also have a much better contrast quality than those taken with earlier lenses, and it includes filters to get even more effects. Since it works with all Nikon cameras, many camera owners have chosen to use this Nikkor as their main lens.
