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.

    It is literally impossible to take a bad picture with this lens. The vibration reduction is great with up to 4 stops makes hand holding at 500mm possible with even slower shutter speeds. I highly recommend this lens.

    Used at spring training games in Florida. Easy to use when you get use to the weight. It brings the batter real close from right field terrace at yankee stadium Tampa.

    Very happy with the lens but it is very pricey and our first one broke from a very short fall. Might be good to get the extended warranty.

    Sharp, 500mm reach and a max F-stop of 5.6; great glass and a great price. A little weak on focus response, which is why I gave it three stars...nothing in this world is perfect!

    Yes compatibility should be checked, If it fits you camera and your need for long focus lens it is great addition to a standard two or three lens set, for field and nature photography

    Great lens, Tamron and Sigma are cheaper but quality comes into question after 3 years. Nikons will last awhile and have great resale value.

    I love this lense! It works great for me to take wildlife or scenery photos. As expected it's BIG and heavy. So of course you'll have to use a tripod or at least a monopod. Perfect for me!
