Pros and cons

According to our camera lens expert

Thanks to the large maximum aperture of f/5.6, you can take bright photos in dark locations.
With its large 200–500mm zoom range, the lens is suitable for bird, wildlife, and sports photography.
You can take sharp handheld photos at slower shutter speeds thanks to the image stabilization.
Because of its heavy weight, the lens can start to feel heavy quickly. If you use it for a long time, we recommend using a tripod.
The lens isn’t water-resistant, so you can’t take photos in the rain.

Description

Take bright photos in low light with the Nikon AF-S NIKKOR 200-500mm f/5.6E ED VR. This camera lens has a maximum aperture of f/5.6. That lets a lot of light into the lens, so you can take sharp photos in the dark too. The 200-500mm zoom range brings birds, athletes, and wild animals closer. The image stabilization reduces vibrations, so you can record smooth videos and take bright photos. The Nikon F (FX) mount fits APS-C and full-frame SLR cameras with an F mount.

top lens

sharp photos
price quality very good
constant aperture throughout the zoom range
not waterproof

Now in use for 1 year mainly nature photography and sometimes plane spotting. Very good quality You can still shoot handheld with this lens. Not suitable for indoor work (indoor sports) with little light, this also applies to outside when it gets dark or in bad weather conditions.

Constant quality!

Image quality
AF is spot on
Very very good VR
long stroke for zooming from 200 to 500 mm

I am very happy with this lens that I use for bird photography. Before purchasing, I also looked at reviews about the 150-600 mm lenses from other brands. Got the impression from reviews that the Nikon performs more consistently in terms of image quality/sharpness, and that from the constant starting aperture of 5.6. Compared to the 3rd party brands, I deliver 100 mm at the end of the zoom range + that the Nikon is 300 gr heavier. The results in practice make me a very satisfied user. For bird photography you can of course always use more mm, but the images are so good that I still have beautiful images on full frame (D600) with cropping. And otherwise shooting on DX, so that the focal length is 750 mm. Or taking your time shooting and slowly getting closer to your subject is a good one too! Better yet, lay low and let the subject come to you. One more tip that works well for me regarding the carrying weight when you go out with this lens: I hook the tripod collar over the chest strap of my backpack and also have the camera strap around my neck.
