Wherever your passion lies, this outstanding super telephoto zoom lens can bring it into focus. Capture and share stunning views of birds, wildlife, motorsports, athletes, performers, landmarks and other faraway subjects. A fast f/5.6 constant aperture gives your shots beautifully out-of-focus backgrounds across the entire zoom range. Turn fast-moving action into dazzling photo sequences– the electromagnetic diaphragm operates in sync for the fastest subjects and shutter speeds while Vibration Reduction image stabilization keeps your shots sharp and steady. And in the rare cases when additional reach is needed, you can increase the AF-S NIKKOR 200-500mm f/5.6E ED VR’s zoom power with an optional Nikon 1.4x, 1.7x or 2x teleconverter.
500mm of zoom power on FX-format DSLRs; 750mm equivalent on DX-format DSLRS
Fast f/5.6 constant aperture for beautiful out-of-focus backgrounds and low-light performance
4 stops of Vibration Reduction with specialized Tripod and Sports modes
AF compatible with optional TC-14E series teleconverters and DSLRs that offer f/8 support

Incredible lens
This is an amazing lens, for what it is. It does not compare to a 500mm f4 lens, but itâs a fraction of the price and weight. There are times I wish I had that extra stop of light, but itâs a fair trade off. The lens is very sharp, and focus is really fast. I highly recommend it.

Excellent lens, at less than full price
I was a bit leery of buying a “renewed” lens, but after multiple outings taking nature photos I’m glad I did. When the lens arrived, the original box looked funky but I didn’t care about that — it went into the recycling bin a while ago. The lens itself looked pristine, and meshes perfectly with my Nikon D5600. The lens is larger and heavier than I expected! I keep the tripod mount on at all times and use it as a carrying handle. If you use the tripod mount that way, be sure it’s on tight.Before buying the lens, I wondered if the 200-500 zoom was enough to document fairly distant birds. Short answer, it is. Between the sharpness of this lens, the megapixels in my Nikon D5600, and shooting in RAW, I can crop fairly heavily to reach farther than the nominal maximum zoom of the lens. I’ve also had good luck in low-light situations.I’m really glad that I put my money into a higher-quality “renewed” lens, as opposed to a brand-new “kit” lens. A final bit of advice: keep the shade on the lens whenever you’re using it. Not only does it shade the front of the lens, it protects the lens from accidental bumps and scrapes. With the shade on, I don’t bother with the lens cap.

Seller didnât mention item was defected
I bought this in January 2024, it worked fine for a month or so, then the zoom ring started getting stuck. Then I realized something was scraping the neck ring. I looked it up and apparently this is a common defect with this lens and there was a solution of removing the plastic ring, and tightening the little screws. So I did remove the plastic ring to realize one tiny screw is actually missing, and other was have been worn out. Now the lens completely stuck between 200-300 and I canât turn it back to tighten the screws.

Wanted one for a long time
This lens was advertised, refurbished in excellent condition. I can’t afford a new one, so I took a chance and placed the order. It arrived early and looks like new. I experimented a little around the house and it seems to be working as it should. It’s heavy I’m excited. I was planning on being in the Wyoming and Montana mountains by now but developed some medical issues. I’ll be taking the trip asap.

Awesome lens
This lens is awesome. It does really well on a tripod, as it is pretty heavy. As you can see in the pictures, it does really well at full zoom. The auto focus is very fast and accurate. Depending on how close your target is, it does decrease in quality when your target is farther away. I’ve tested it in almost every lighting situation and it does great in all of them. Again, a tripod is key. You will need a heavier duty tripod for it to hold up under different conditions (mainly wind).

Great zoom and build but this thing is heavy
This is my first large telephoto lense. It adds a lot of weight to my camera. Still trying to get use to that. Good news is image quality and performance is amazing. Love it so much, it’s worth toting around.
