Customers are saying

Customers love the outstanding image quality and impressive zoom capabilities of the AF-S NIKKOR 200-500mm f/5.6E ED VR Super Telephoto Zoom Lens. The fast focus speed and effective Vibration Reduction are also frequently praised, along with the lens's reach and value for its price. However, some find the lens to be large and heavy.

    Love this lens! It's heavier than expected but nothing a monopod or tripod can't assist with!

    I waited six months before buying this lens. I wanted to do my research on this. When I received an email from Best Buy about special finance, I was at my local Best Buy in 30 minutes!! This lens is fantastic!! The clarity is outstanding!! The lens has a some weight to it, but using a mono pod is no problem!!

    I feel like this lens is slow, heavy and clunky. Once it is on the subject however, it takes some pretty good images.

    As an amateur this lens fits the bill. I don’t shoot enough to justify spending 8000.00 for a pro version. Can’t go wring for the money. Sharp,quick focus lens
