Product Information

kg), the Nikon 200-500mm is not the lightest telephoto lens on the market, but its weight is reasonable, given its capabilities. The lens is marked at 100mm intervals: 200, 300, 400, 500mm, and the zoom ring is very wide and towards the front of the lens. It's the least skilled hobbyists who waste the most time blaming fuzzy pictures on their lenses, while real shooters know that few photos ever use all the sharpness of which their lenses are capable due to subject motion and the fact that real subjects are rarely perfectly flat. When traveling, one can lock the lens at its shortest length of 200mm using a switch on the side of the lens barrel, as pictured below.

High-speed AF operation : Nikon’s Silent Wave Motor (SWM) enables ultra-fast, ultra-quiet autofocus performance with seamless manual override. When birds in flight are at a very long distance against the plain and cluttered background – Lens struggles to focus in this case. On my F4 (1988), autofocus, all metering modes and auto and manual exposure work perfectly, with f/5.The Sony a9 III is the world's first full-frame mirrorless camera to feature a global electronic shutter with simultaneous readout.

While the 200-500mm’s implementation is the best I’ve seen in decades from Nikon, I can still get a little vibration out of it when shooting on a stable platform. Since sample variation is a big problem for properly evaluating and testing lenses, our team at PL always strives to test at least several copies of the same lens. I've used this lens in various challenging environments, including heavy rain, muddy wetlands, dense forests, and even an accidental dip in the water. And in the rare cases when additional reach is needed, you can increase the AF-S NIKKOR 200-500mm f/5. Build: The 70-300 is primarily plastic, compared to the metal mount and weather sealing of the Nikon 200-500.Just like all other modern AF-S lenses, the lens will go beyond infinity and continue to rotate once the minimum and maximum limits are reached. While this new collar is still not perfect, it is probably the stiffest of the tripod collars Nikon has produced in quite some time on the non-exotic lenses. So you need a heathy disposable income to justify a prime if motorsport photography is just a hobby. I have been using the Nikon 200–500mm for over year now with some truly excellent results so we decided on this run out to compare it to a prime lens. But for us, the spectator photographer, we need to think differently to a pro-motorsports photographer and this is where the superzoom comes into its own.

For the rest of us we are generally restricted to where we can go at major events, so our lens has to do the walking to get the same picture .Shoot at a reasonably high ISO (depends on your camera) but generally ISO 2000 to 4000 can provide a great balance between image quality and noise. Focal length: Although 300mm is a viable option for wildlife photography, having more focal length is generally better for getting closer to your subjects.
