Nikon AF-S Nikkor 200-500MM F/5.6E ED VR Lens (Black)

Nice Telephoto lens from Nikon, was planning to buy AF-P 70-300mm f4.5-5.6 lens then saw this on amazon, waited for season and got it for 79999 and got extra discount through SBI card. Gets very nice photos, would recommend this, but be cautioned this lens is heavy and requires tripod or mono-pod attaching few photos with zero correction [D3500 Nikon DSLR]. The photos of moon are taken @200mm ~ 300mm and 500mm ~ 750mm without cropping

I had this lens in mind to buy and finally bought it and while the build quality is amazing, the size and especially the weight is something that we need to get used to. I have yet to try it out in field and eagerly waiting to see the result.

I was worried about buying this online no doubt, but Amazon hasn’t disappointed in this case. Got the original sealed box from last month’s import, no damage or any issues on the lens. I bought it from Appario Retail and it was delivered in good condition with seal and proper packaging. Got it for 84,490 and love that there have been no issues so far. Will update if I find any issues in functionality; so far fresh out of the box everything is alright!

Was looking for a 500 mm lens to upgrade my gear and there is nothing like this product from Nikon. Amazing photography ..I suggest all DX users of Nikon to spend on it if you need to explore wild life photography before stepping on to FX body

The packaging was good from outside, but the seller had filled the box with waste paper, old magazine and old cardboard as reinforcement to the lens package. This is still fine. Coming to the actual lens package, the top seal was NOT broken, but the bottom seal was broken and seems like the package was open from the bottom. I still went ahead and opened the lens just to see the lens cap was open both front and back and the cap was loosely fallen within the bubble rap. (See the attached images) And on the part where the luns gets attached to the camera, I see some dirt and grease on it. All the says the packing was hampered and was repacked after use. I did a basic test with the lens and did not find and functionality issues, will be testing it more and updating my comment

One of the best products of Nikon for DSLR. Loved to have it in my collection. The seller provided it with a nice cloth bag which will be handy to protect the lens while carrying. Hope to use it well for my upcoming winter trips and to write last few pages of my upcoming books.

After using 3rd party lenses for a long time, I made the decision to switch over to this lens. And boy, ain't I glad I made the switch? There is a vast difference in the image quality.The f 5.6 is a just apt for making beautiful images at a long end 500 mm. This is a perfect lens for birding and wildlife. The AF works fast enough to capture swift movements of a bird in flight. At long end (500 mm), it renders a sharp focus and lovely bokeh to create beautiful images of seemingly tiny birds. In all, a must buy for enthusiasts (provided you use a Nikon body)!!!

Great lense. Awesome product from nikon. A bit heavy but one can be used to it.

I enjoy my wildlife photography and although I was getting some decent shots with my 80-400mm, I wanted to fill the viewfinder that bit more. I have been really impressed with the results using this lens, that extra 100mm has made a big difference. The VR is very effective and the autofocus is quick; I had read some reports saying autofocus was a bit slow, but it seems fine with my D810. The lens is a bit heavy, but I've managed to carry it around for over 5 miles without any bother (I'm in my early 60s). The biggest problem I've had is getting a holster that can carry it and the camera, I've settled on a Think Tank one at the moment, but its not ideal as the lens will not fit in with the hood on (this is a wide hood and even reversed will not fit in the bag). To give an idea of quality, the image of the pigeon was the first test shot I took. I was in my garden, the bird was on the apex of the roof; the image is cropped at 100% yet is still quite sharp (500mm f8 @ 1/400th ISO200). All in all I'm very happy with the lens and consider it money well spent.

¡Increíble!, es la mejor palabra para describir este grandioso teleobjetivo. Con un precio muy ajustado para la calidad que ofrece, como siempre Nikon no defrauda, la primera sensación que transmite es su robustez y peso, con una luminosidad asombrosa. Lo mejor aparte del conocido sistema VR, que funciona a la perfección, es su motor de enfoque, no se le oye pero absolutamente nada, cuando empecé a disparar con el miraba el anillo de enfoque para ver si realmente se movía puesto que no me podía creer que viendo el enfoque a través del visor no oyera nada, y además es súper rápido tanto con mi Nikon D80 como con D7100, en ambas funciona a la perfección y cuando seleccionamos el enfoque a partir de 6 metros con el selector que trae para ello, es aún más rápido si cabe. Sin duda lo volvería a comprar. Solo una pega, y es que no tiene ningún punto de anclaje para una correa, por lo que la sujección se hace directamente con la camara, poder usar una correa adicional que vendría bien pues pesa de lo lindo. Incluso a pulso las fotos son nítidas, pero no es un objetivo para tirar a pulso. Con un simple monopie va de fábula y con un trípode es bestial. AMAZON como siempre un 10 tanto en envío, como rápidez y en este caso en concreto en precio: 200 euros de ahorro respecto a otros sitios.

very happy with lens. a bit heavy though. photos very sharp even with an entry level crop sensor camera. beautiful bokeh, lovely colours too money well spent. brings a lot of joy

One of the best bits of photographic equipment I have ever owned or used. It is simply the best.
