Nikon 20108
The Phase Fresnel element slashes weight by 50% to 2385g and shortens length by 16%, yielding a hand-holdable 800mm f/6.3 with 5-stop VR. Weather-sealed construction, Nano Crystal Coat optics, and a 1:6.25 maximum magnification extend its use beyond fair-weather fieldwork. It’s ideal for wildlife and sports photographers seeking extreme reach in a travel-ready package.
