I love this lens. Would rate it 10 stars.

Clear, fast and reliable build quality. The pictures are wonderful. Works well in low light. A 108 ounce tripod is recommended but can be handheld for a while. I highly recommend this lens. Delivery was on time.

Pros
  • Easy to use
Cons
  • Quick start guide

A big improvement over the G Series 500mm f4 lens

I bought this lens from a local camera shop and am very happy with it. Advantages of the 500mm f4 E-FL lens (compared to the G-series f4 lens): 1) lighter and more balanced - much easier to hold and use 2) the new rotating ring is extremely smooth and easy to adjust (Using ball bearings was a very good idea) 3) Removal of the VR rotary switch - the rotary switch was awkward to use, glad to see it's a regular switch now, thanks Nikon4) Sharper images - IMO not a game changer, but noticeable if…

Pros
  • Great price
Cons
  • Big and bulky

Lighter, sharper, just better in every way!

So while I've had a 500mm f4G VR lens in the past, I actually switched to this lens after using the 400mm f2.8G VR for the last few years had turned. I decided to switch to 400mm f2.8G VR when I had the opportunity to swap with a friend for free! It needed less weight, and I needed the aperture and better IQ that the 400mm offered. I say better IQ but the truth is there isn't much difference but the 400mm and 800mm lenses are a bit sharper than the others. Now for the 500mm f4E FL which I am…

Pros
  • Slim design
Cons
  • Long delivery time
