The following opinions have been automatically translated with Google Translate.
Pros:All-internal focus and zoom, image quality, quiet, accurate, construction.
Cons:I don't know, I can't even say the weight because for its size it is not really among the heaviest. Lens hood perhaps seems delicate to me. I would have preferred an arm with ark swiss but amen.
Opinion:Used for a few months for a couple of events and for some outings in the woods I can only speak well of it. A nice beast but it gives a lot of satisfaction! at 600mm I didn't notice any loss of quality and in general I really enjoyed taking pictures of it, it didn't miss a shot with my Z6II. I equipped it with ark swiss. The fact that it has both the focus and the zoom all internal is very useful because it does not unbalance the optics. Focal range that is also very fast, I don't have to do 40 turns of the ring to get to the end of the stroke, just half a turn and I'm at 600mm, very convenient if I have to do something fast. What can I say highly recommended!
Cons:The usual Nikon lens hood... Instantly exchanged for a canvas one with strap purchased on Amazon
Opinion:Returned a few days ago from a safari in South Africa... I was very pleased with this Zummone which satisfied me in pretty much everything. The only flaw is that it focuses a bit far away ... but it's still a tele 5.6... and the usual lens hood that doesn't stay still (Nikon's atavistic evil) ... For the rest I would say quite sharp, good performance (mounted on Z9) and practical from narrow close-ups to distant subjects at 600mm. Obviously, it should be understood as an object that is not entirely professional ... the 400 and 600 are something else and the bokeh will obviously never be the same... But it is true that it costs a lot, much less and you have an object that you carry very well in your backpack or even over your shoulder. I would also recommend it
Opinion:Accustomed to using fixed lenses for nature photography, I needed a versatile zoom lens to carry when I want to stay light on my long hikes (I often do hours of trekking in the high mountains). Honestly, I was skeptical, maybe conditioned by the price. I had to change my mind, it is an extraordinary optics, engraved and clean, with a perfect color rendering, it will not have the blur of a fixed but it comes close. Satisfied... I recommend it!
Pros:Sharpness, weight, AF, value for money, stabilizer
Cons:Not S-series, only 1 function key
Opinion:I've had this lens for 1 month and I haven't taken it off since I put it on. For those like me who take photos and videos, often work freehand and walk a lot, it's really the ultimate optics. Handy with fast AF and good sharpness. The only downside is that it's not S-series, but that would have changed the price quite a bit. Also the function keys only only 1 plus the dial. But we're looking for the nitty-gritty, for what a 600mm tele costs this is a really good lens. Used in DX mode it becomes a 900mm f6.3. Nikon's 600mm f6.3 costs £7,500. If you also add the 2x go to 1800mm f13 stabilized. What more do you want?
Pros:I would say excellent performance also at TA, very quiet and fast engine. VR responds very well, allowing shots with truly unthinkable times. Although it is not an "S" I find it to be well built and sturdy. It's worth all its price.
Cons:NN
Opinion:As you can guess in my pros, it is a glass that I recommend for those like me who have decided to leave glass with a higher weight at rest, compensating with this glass that, for lightness, speed, readiness and quality, will almost certainly not make the others repel. Mainly I use it for birds. While also waiting to be able to upgrade the camera body, I'm currently using it with a z6.
