Review on πŸ“· Nikon 200-500mm f/5.6E ED Vibration Reduction Zoom Lens with AF-S & Auto Focus for Nikon DSLR Cameras by Rimba

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Wonderful quality, one hundred percent satisfied!

Although the manufacturer does not declare dust and moisture protection on this model, it is built to last. Survived filming on a yacht and in the rain. Very comfortable and pleasant in the hands. When paired with the camera, it is well balanced - by turning the tripod foot up, it can be used for carrying, while there is no imbalance. Many scold the "fragility" of the lens hood - the lens hood is assembled from high-quality materials, it simply does not have a metal lock - in fact, it would only increase the weight of the structure and add cost, but it would not affect the quality of the shooting. Before buying, I studied reviews and articles about this lens and read about the portrait component. After taking a couple of portraits, for myself, I firmly decided that this glass was not suitable for these purposes (in fact, it was not bought for this) Below are some photo examples.

Pros
  • Fast and tenacious autofocus Amazing stabilization Handheld shooting even at the far end
Cons
  • Objectively, so far I have found only one drawback, and it is indirectly related to the lens. This is the price of filters. There are not so many of them for a diameter of 95 mm and the price tag even for protective filters is not encouraging.
