In August 2018 Nikon announced the release of a compact super telephoto - the 500mm f/5.6E PF ED VR Making this their second Phase Fresnel lens the first being the awesome 300mm PF PF/4. I am excited to see Nikon introduce this new prime lens at a sub 4k. Let's run through the technical details as it relates to weight, compactness, and sharpness. All of which are expected to be superior.
