Nikon AF-S NIKKOR 600mm f/4E FL ED VR
Why we recommend this ▼
Its f/4 constant aperture, fluorite and ED glass elements, and 4-stop Vibration Reduction deliver tack-sharp, hand-held shots in low light. A magnesium-alloy, weather-sealed build at 3810g makes this one of the lighter 600mm primes, adding fluorine coatings to repel dust and moisture. Best for wildlife and sports photographers who require silent, fast autofocus and rugged reliability in the field.
