![]() | Nikon AF-S 500mm f/5.6 E PF ED VR Pros: Sharpness, AF speed, light weight Cons: lens hood Opinion: After a year from the purchase I can say that I am fully satisfied with this lens that has replaced the still valid nikon 200-500. Sharp even at full aperture and equipped with lightning-fast autofocus, I place it as a quality between the 200-500 F.5.6 and the 500 f.4 G series that I had but closer to the latter than to the zoom. The difference with the 500 f.4 is only noticeable in the quality of the blur and when the subject is at a considerable distance but otherwise the portability (it is mounted on a D5 in a 44x30x19.05 backpack) and the better AF motor compensate for these differences. Let's draw a pitiful veil on the lens hood that I have already had to change as it broke ... sent on January 23, 2025 |
![]() | Nikon D500 Pros: Ergonomics, AF speed, burst Cons: LV Opinion: Bought used here on Juza, it gave me great sensations right away. The ability to lock on to the moving subject (birdlife) and the burst stand out, clearly surpassed by the latest models, especially ML, but enough to take beautiful action photos. The use of the 4 banks for settings depending on the type of situation is very useful. Good but not excellent performance at high ISO but on the other hand it is an APS-C and then with the PP you can easily intervene when needed. The files it produces are nice and workable, excellent white balance. I would say that I am fully satisfied. sent on February 13, 2024 |
![]() | Nikon D5 Pros: AF speed, burst, workability files, robustness, ergonomics, infinite battery, high iso yield Cons: shutter noise, LV producing jpeg only Opinion: Purchased on ebay in Lithuania at a good price and with a few shots went to replace my D780 that I sold still almost new. After a few months of use I am completely satisfied with the purchase. Although the D780 is a more recent SLR, if we exclude the greater definition given by the 3 mpx more and the more performing LV, for the rest the D5 exceeds it in performance (on the other hand we are still talking about a flagship) especially if used, as I do, in the field of nature or sports photography. What impressed me is the ability of the AF to attach to the subject even in difficult light conditions and the speed. The burst of 12 FPS was also very appreciated by me as well as the infinite battery life. With high iso produces quality and perfectly workable files. If it is used for what it was created for, it has no rivals. sent on August 17, 2023 |
![]() | Nikon AF-S Nikkor 200-500mm f/5.6 E ED VR Pros: sharpness, versatility, VR Cons: bracket, hood Opinion: I bought it from the store attracted by the competitive price also for the second-hand market but already having the excellent 80-400 of the G series I thought I would resell it immediately after trying it a little but until I sold the 80-400 and I still do not feel the lack. I was favorably amazed at the efficiency of the stabilizer and the sharpness of the lens at maximum aperture. The only sore points but that justify the price so low for a lens of this level: lack of tropicalization, hood and bracket unproposable. sent on June 22, 2022 |
![]() | Nikon D780 Pros: High iso, AF, LV, battery life, power bank battery charging Cons: lack of stabilization Opinion: The only machine of my life purchased not used but new taking advantage of a promotion, I have had it for a year and a half and I have never regretted the purchase. I believe that this machine, although not part of the so-called "professional" SLRs, provides performance that is close to these. Used for nature photography allows more than good shots up to 5000 iso being able to go even further by taking into account a little noise however acceptable and solvable in PP. The battery life is infinite if used with optical viewfinder, which makes you forgive the lack of predisposition for battery grip as well as the good tropicalization I prefer it to the presence of a flash that I would use very rarely. Accuracy and speed of af justify a very high rating: 10 sent on June 22, 2022 |
