Nikon Announces a 800mm Super Telephoto Fixed Focal Length Lens for Professional Photographers--Now Available for Pre-Order at B&H Photo

NYC, NY, Jan 29, 2013 (PRWeb.com via COMTEX) -- B&H Photo Video is pleased to share with professional photographers the launch of the Nikon AF-S NIKKOR 800mm f/5.6E FL ED VR super telephoto fixed focal length lens with the included dedicated 1.25x Teleconverter.


This lens has been developed in order to strengthen the NIKKOR lineup of super-telephoto lenses. It will boast the longest focal length of any NIKKOR autofocus lens, and will be best suited to capture of a wide variety of decisive outdoor scenes, from sporting events to wildlife. In addition to its superior optical performance, the lens will offer dust and water resistance.

While the new Nikon 800mm Super Telephoto lens might be pricey, it is the longest focal length of any Nikkor lens to date. It also includes a dedicated 1.25x teleconverter, which turns it into a 1000mm lens while taking away one stop of light.

The 800mm Nikkor lens construction integrates two fluorite lens elements to help reduce the overall weight of the lens while also offering chromatic aberration-reduction benefits. Also aiding in the reduction of chromatic aberration is the inclusion of two ED (extra-low dispersion) elements that furthermore provide an increase in image sharpness, clarity, and color fidelity.

A Nano Crystal Coat is applied to lens elements to minimize surface and internal reflections and ghosting for greater image clarity and contrast. Built-in Vibration Reduction image stabilization helps to lessen the appearance of camera shake by up to four shutter speed stops, which greatly benefits this lens' use in low-light conditions and fast-paced photography. Additionally, an electromagnetic aperture mechanism is integrated into the lens design to provide greater exposure control stability that is especially beneficial when working with faster continuous shooting rates.

The Nikon AF-S Teleconverter TC800-1.25E ED is also included with the lens to further extend the effective focal length to 1000mm f/7.1. This teleconverter incorporates an ED element into its design to maintain the high image quality achieved by the lens alone. Additionally, the electromagnetic aperture control is fully supported when the teleconverter is in use.
