very Nice
Nikon managed to create a very good Lens at a lower than expected price point. This lens would still be good value even if the price was 50% higher
Pros:
- Constant Aperture Sharp and Contrasty

- allowing hand held shots at speeds one think not possible Reasonable AF speed Excellent build for a consumer grade lens
Cons:
- Needs very large (expensive) front filters No drop-in filter system Lens hood needs a better securing system

Problems with this lens but Buydig service is exceptional
I can't say enough good things about Buydig service it was excellent. They sent me an RMA and a return label and credited my account right away. I have been a Buydig customer for years and this is the first time I have had to return anything. The lens gets two stars but Buydig gets Five!
Pros:
- Well made
- solid build
Cons:
- Focus problems that Nikon could not determine why or figure out how to correct
- It continuously back focused and since my particular camera does not have adjustment for that, subjects were always soft if they were at any distance
- Ran any number of tests and this lens continued to underperform.

Pretty good lens for the price
The lens is heavy, but can be hand held. The the photo quality is best at close range.

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

Perfect compliment to my 18 to 200 Canon
Along with my 18-200 Canon lens, this now gives me everything from 18-500mm with only 2 lenses. Best to use a good mono or tripod, but in good lighting it can be used without. I love taking it to the Zoo and Wild Animal Park and have taken some great photos.
Pros:
- Consistent Output
- Durable
- Easily Interchangeable
- Quick Focus
- Rugged
- Sharp Focus
- Strong Construction
Cons:
- Heavy
