Nikon AF S 200-500mm f5.6
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.So far so good. I got pictures with less noise with the VR off. All pictures turned out better than those shot with the Nikon 80-400, which is what I was hoping for. I'm not sure how the uploaded picture will look. It is really crisp on my large computer monitor. But I had to downsize the image in order to upload it for this review.

Pretty not so bad
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.I have only used the lens a couple times since purchasing it. I am including a cropped only copy of my first moon shot. I am a very experienced photographer in auto...I am just learning the manual aspects of photography.

Awesome Telephoto Lens!
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.Was very hesitant due to the f/5.6, already have the 70-200mm f/2.8. But was looking for further reach for wild life photography and it's AMAZING lens. Only downside it's the weight, Overall it's worth every Penny. I highly recommend it.

Nikon AF-S Nikkor 200-500mm Zoom
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.Very Satisfied. I had to get on a waiting list to purchase this item, but it was worth the wait. Although more expensive, this lens is lighter than one of its competitors, and that alone was worth the increased price. It's exciting to use this lens and I'm so glad it's finally mine!

Great lens!
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.So far I have really enjoyed this lens. Its autofocus is faster than I expected. I've already shot some wildlife photos that would have never been possible with a 70-200 without scaring away wildlife.

Incredible Lens
||Posted .I read all the reviews and ratings of this lens and couldn't be happier. The length takes you out there where needed for birding and wildlife photography. The quality is equal to a lens selling for three to four times this one.

Q: QuestionD3200Did the 200-500mm Super Telephoto Zoom Lens works with NIkon D3200?
Asked by Anonymous.
- A:Answer As your D3200 does not have a focus motor, it will require lenses that have a the focus motor built-in. At Nikon, these type of lenses have the AF-S designator in their product name. This denotes Nikon's excellent Silent Wave Focus motor built-in to the lens. Any NIKKOR lens would mount on your camera. The lenses without a focus motor, you would have to focus manually. The bottom line is, the AF-S NIKKOR 200-500mm f/5.6E ED VR Super Telephoto Zoom Lens will work fine on your D3200.

Q: QuestionWill all functions of this lense work with myD90
Asked by Karny.
- A:Answer CPU lenses (particularly types G and D) are recommended for use with the D90. CPU lenses can be identified by the presence of CPU contacts, type G and D lenses by a letter on the lens barrel. Type G lenses are not equipped with a lens aperture ring. The AF-S NIKKOR 200-500mm is a newer E-type lens. E-type lenses have an electromagnetic diaphragm mechanism in the lens barrel. With conventional D/G type lenses, the diaphragm blades are operated by mechanical linkage levers. Therefore, the NIKKOR E-type lenses on the D90 WILL NOT communicate aperture information and they cannot be used. See the enclosed: https://support.nikonusa.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/19485 for further information.

Q: QuestionThank you for answering my previous question. I see Nikon staff said that it works great even in low light. How about low light and action shots. Like a dance recital. They are always moving.
Asked by Anonymous.
- A:Answer The 200-500 has both a NORMAL and SPORT mode built-in to the VR system within the lens. For lower light action shots, especially when there are moving subjects, SPORT modes is recommended. Especially if you will be panning the camera and following your subject across the stage. The VR that is built-in to this lens enables you to shoot at up to 4.5 stops of shutter speed, hand held. For example - if you are in a lower light shooting situation and shooting at, for example 1/30 of a second, the VR built-in to the lens would be the equivalent of shooting 4.5 stops FASTER! That would be nearly equivalent to shooting at nearly 1/500th of a second.
