Opinion:I recently bought this lens, I find it fantastic with a superlative sharpness already fully open,has a fast and precise autofocus,light even after a day you do not feel tired, I use it on the nikon d850 and I'm very happy,tried with the tc 1.4 III it doesn't lose anything in sharpness, it becomes a f8 so it takes a lot of light, the autofocus remains good, it improves if we use the limiter.the major defects are in the lampshade too thin and plastic, and in my opinion also the bracket for the tripod and too short for the tripod that for hand transport,high price but quality is excellent, rating 9.5 for the flaws I mentioned, otherwise this" optics for quality deserves 10.
Opinion:As I wrote for the little brother's review the 300mm f4 AND PF ED VR this 500mm f5.6 is finally the ideal solution for long hikes in the mountains thanks to its low weight. Obviously not as bright as a 300 mm f 2.8 (which I owned) but if you want more in this area the price and weight rise exponentially and therefore to be taken into account according to your pockets and your needs. I use it with D850, satisfied with the purchase!
Pros:Very light, compact, very well balanced, extraordinary sharpness even at full aperture and fast AF
Cons:Lens hood of questionable quality taking into account the price of this lens that is not given, VR sometimes noisy but effective
Opinion:I use it with great satisfaction both on FF bodies (Nikon D5, D850, Z7) and on the Nikon D500, with which it makes perfect torque, for handling and balance. With the TC14E III the quality remains excellent, pity that you lose a stop and so if the light conditions are not optimal, you are forced to work with higher ISOS. The fuzzy is very good although not comparable to that obtainable with a classic tele that does not use Fresnel lenses. The fact of being able to use it freehand (weighs like the 70-200) with ease for hours is worth only the price, especially since the overall quality is very high. Let's not forget that on a DX body like the D500 is worth 750mm and, with the TC14 even 1050mm). Ultimately I am very satisfied with this supertele! The VR is effective and with static subject you gain up to 4 stops.
Pros:Sharpness, autofocus, weight and manageability
Cons:The stabilizer is sometimes a little noisy
Opinion:I bought this lens after watching and covered the few American reviews I found, but in the end I think I made a very good purchase, even though the weather was lousy I did some test shots and I was impressed by the sharpness of the lens, but especially from its autofocus, coming from the 200-500 is really another planet and, for what little I used the 500 F4 seems to me very similar as an answer. You lose a stop compared to the older brother and of course you can detach a little ' less the subject from the background, but instead you take pictures from impossible positions and you can keep it in hand with a facility unthinkable, I have not yet got to make an exit In the mountains but I think traveling 10 Km with this lens will be much more enjoyable than before. The autofocus in some situation seems a little noisy, if you really want to find a flaw. The price is not very low, but I think it is worth them all and anyway it is always a much more affordable figure of 500 F4
Pros:Sharpness Mf the stabilizer and above all the weight
Cons:The lens hood is very plasticous could make it a more professional given the price
Opinion:They handed it to me two days ago and immediately, even if the weather is not the best, I already took a hundred photos and really bewitched me. Mf as fast as its older brother, versatile and lightweight which means a lot for those who want to photograph wildlife during a walk. The final verdict is very very interesting only one flaw in the price that is too high. Soon I will publish some photos taken with my Nikon d850.
