An impressive lens
This lens has now been used for a while before reviewing. It has produced some impressively sharp photos even wide open at f5.6 at all focal lengths. The VR is good (but not perfect) and useful in lower light conditions.

Stunning Lens
We had the first over the counter 500mm f5.6 PF from Wex. My wife and I had a "play" with lens in the showroom, then ordered a second one there and then, so we could have one each. Now after 2 weeks use by both of us we can't wait for next one.
Pros:
- Ease of use
- Great Picture Quality
- Lightweight

If you want to do serious wildlife photography, "big glass" is inevitable. But the price of a 500mm or 600mm prime lens can set you back half the price of a new car! The Nikon 200-500mm f/5.6 E ED VR is a serious prosumer "budget" solution for those who can't justify such a massive cash setback -...

Sharp lens
Exactly what I expected from a Nikkor lens. I made the mistake of buying a Sigma 150 to 600, and even after lots of study and practice to get it as sharp as it could be. it was still unacceptable. The Nikkor 200-500 is sharp right out of the box even at maximum aperture.

one of the best

Best telephoto lens for price
Honestly best telephoto lens I've ever used. Sharp image and f5.6 in all range is the best you can get for that price!!

Opens up a whole new world.
I use the 200-500 exclusively on my D7200, which I have for the 1.5x reach. Originally, I was on the 200-500 pre-order list and received one of the early ones. I wasn't able to get images as sharp as I had hoped and convinced myself I didn't need to spend that much money for a lens, since I am only...

Nikon AF-S Nikkor 200-500mm f/5.6E ED VR
The announcement of the AF-S Nikkor 200-500mm f/5.6E ED VR lens in August 2015 came as a pleasant surprise for Nikon camera owners. Not only is it the only genuine Nikon zoom that goes out to 500mm, but it also costs less than some comparable third-party offerings, at least in certain markets.

Nikon 200-500mm f/5.6E ED VR AF-S Nikkor
I would highly recommend this lens to anyone who does what it's designed to do: wildlife photography, distant landscape and architectural detail. It's not too hard to carry, even with the neck strap, although some kind of sling would help.
Pros:
- Extremely sharp
- remarkable VR
- excellent contrast and color rendition
- reasonable price
Cons:
- Heavy
- long
- clumsy
