    Super sharp, super light what’s not to love

  7. Giedrius Dockus

    Lens is nice and easy to use handheld, especially with fast moving subjects I could easily keep the camera up and ready for hours on end and the image quality doesn’t seem to have been compromised at the expense of lightness.

  8. Papa Luigi

    This lens seems to be the best one I have ever used with superior sharpness and speed. Awesome indeed!

    The Nikon 500mm PF lens is easily carried on my D850 and is great for lots of types of photography; FOR, safari parks, zoos, wildlife, birds on branches and other locations that do not involve flying unless birds are very big, swans, herons, cormorants, you get the idea, as long as it is Bright AND Sunny you will be able to use lens for BIF, and focus tracking and focus lock will be alright, however BIF work is only possible if using suitable body, when using my D500, lens does a good job, but when using my D850 it is not as good. When using 1.4 TC, focus is unable to lock on moving birds, but is ok on subjects that are not moving ( when on tripod, only} So to round up all in all, it is a very useful lens for many occasions, however it is nowhere near as good as my 300mm F2.8 monster of a lens which is , in a word, perfect as it should be, after all the 300mm is a professional lens and costs almost six grand, The Nikon 500mm PF is about half the weight, And around half the price.

    I traded in my big Nikon 500mm F4 and was worried that the new lens 1/3 the size and weight would not have such good image quality. It is in fact better and I can now as a retired person carry it on a Nikon 850 body all day and enjoy a day walking in a bird reserve. Auto focus and tracking focus is spot on and VR means you can shoot hand held at 1/40 sec provided the subject is not moving! I have been a professional advertising photographer all my working life so image quality is all important to me. I think there will be a lot of older bird photographers trading in the big lens for one of these. Also plus Nikons x1.4 extend you have a very compact 700mm lens with loss of one stop but even wide open at f8 image quality still 5 star.
