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.

    Still need more use in different environments, but overall the lens works great. Don't really care for the design of the tripod collar. The weight of the lens definitely requires the need for a sturdy tripod and/or Monopod.

    Arrived from Best Buy opened. Was not repacked like a new lens. Lens works good. Not my sharpest lens, but acceptable. Works as described. Useful for my bird photography.

    Good quality zoom lens for bird shots. Not the best quality out there but good for the price. If you want better you have to pay thousands more for a Nikon telephoto.
