Customer Ratings & Reviews

This is a wonderful lens. I use it every day. I bought as a replacement for one just like it where the zoom feature stopped working. I use it mostly for nature photography. I even use it to take pictures of insects and get great results using it with a high megapixel Nikon camera. I even get great pictures using it without a tripod.

Great performance. Tack sharp. Autofocus is smooth and fast, and the VR makes it possible to shoot hand held.

Sharp accurate focusing in a great lens. Easily one of the heavier lenses you're likely to have in your kit, but worth the weight.

A Great lens. Very sharp pictures. Fast auto focus.

Works great and has wonderful clarity and gives good close up opportunities. The only draw back is that it is very heavy and a monopo or tripod is needed in order to keep it steady for the photos.

The Nikon 200-500mm telephoto lens is a great lens for the price! It works great for both photos as well as videos. As documentary filmmakers, we're able to get in tight on our subjects in the wild from a safe distance. When cinema lenses run $70K for comparable distances (for example the Canon 50-1000mm), you can't beat the savings!

The lens is a little heavy, but produces great pictures!!

Nice to get zoomed into your subject. Nice clear pictures.

A 500mm reach for under $2000 is a steal, such a great lens for the price.

I shoot birds, this lens fulfills that need. Aside from that there isn't anything special about this low budget lens. It doesn't wash my car, doesn't sing me to sleep at night and doesn't make me PB&J's when I am hungry. It helps me shoot birds and does an amazing job at that. Therefore I will keep this lens and we will take long walks on the beach at sunset singing disco songs from the 70's while watching the waves crash against the shore blowing wind across my head where my hair used to be. The End

This is a big lens but it is worth it great for me to get that long distance shot.

Still a great lens. 24 month financing made this more manageable.

Great camera lens! Take really good pictures! Buy one!!

Incredible lens for the price. Paired with the Nikon d500 it was a match made in heaven for wildlife photography. Actually works pretty well in low-light situations even though A 5.6.

Excellent lens! A bit larger than I expected. Amazing quality for the price!

This is a great lens. It's new for Nikon and I wasn't sure if I should go with the Tamron 150-600 but I'm happy I went with this. The VR is amazing and I feel quite capable of hand holding this while out shooting.

I have been using this lens and the D500 for wildlife photos and the combo is amazing. This lens is very sharp and very fast to auto focus. The vibration reduction is great and I have handheld this at 1/30 of a second at 240mm to get tack sharp images of a motionless grouse in the shadows.

Amazing lens. I use it for moto photography. Great quality photos

The reviews and research I did on this lens was all great, some people are saying they got a bad copy due to things not being tac sharp. But so far my images look good, so for now I will keep shooting with it and go from there. So far I have shot airplanes and birds in flight and pics look great.

This lenses is excelente! If you're looking for a outdoor action!, with this lenses you're covered. I took great photos with it. I recomend, also i wouldn't buy it from no other place because it is very complex and expensive, therefore only from a reliable store like bestbuy i would recomend buy it from.
