Nikon AF-S NIKKOR 600mm f/4E FL ED VR

Lens Description: A long-reaching telephoto optimized for sports, wildlife, and nature shooting, the Nikon AF-S NIKKOR 600mm f/4E FL ED VR Lens features an advanced optical design that both lessens the overall weight of the lens as well as contributes to improved image quality. Two fluorite and four extra-low dispersion elements reduce chromatic aberrations throughout the aperture range while Nano Crystal and Super Integrated Coatings help to suppress flare and ghosting for greater contrast and clarity. Complementing the image-enhancing attributes, the lens also incorporates a front fluorine-coated meniscus glass element that, when paired with the weather-resistant magnesium alloy barrel, supports working in inclement conditions.

Photography Life Review Summary: Nikon did a lot of things right with the 600mm f/4E FL ED VR, just like it has done with its other modern super-telephoto lenses. The sharpness has been pushed to a new level. Image stabilization and autofocus performance have been improved dramatically. More features, coatings, and functions have been added. Without a doubt, the complete redesign of the optical formula of the lens featuring fluorite elements brought many benefits. But one of the most important changes had to do with the way the lens handles. Thanks to the shift of the weight of the lens, it no longer feels front-heavy and balances much better in hands. The 1.2 kg reduction in weight made the 600mm f/4 hand-holdable for the first time for Nikon shooters, which is a huge benefit for those who do not want to miss a moment.
