This lens is big and heavy but definitely worth it for capturing things that are far away!

Hi Brittany,
Nice review. As ‘ooltimu’ suggested, I also use the Lowepro 13x32cm case. I put the case (with the lens and the hood mounted) into a kind of hicking backpack (about 30L) and that’s it. I often bring a clothe so this stall the case a bit.
Keep shooting.
Great review…waiting for the lens to arrive Thursday. One great feature about the D850 is being able to switch to DX mode on the fly and get that extra reach. I hope it works well with the D850…I’ve heard mix reviews.
I have a D500 with the same lens, I love this combination! I shoot mostly wide life and some landscape.
I use it a lot for vehicle track-days. Easily hold-able for burst shots, but you probably need a monopod for any prolonged stints. As for carrying it… I use a dual shoulder-strap. Makes me look like a modern-day gun-slinger, but the weight is manageable and makes it easy to switch from my 70-200, as long as both lenses are attached to the straps and the camera is free to move between the two.
Apologies meant to post this a while ago, here’s what I bought to carry the lens – https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B009KY5YYO/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
I got this lens 200-500mm f/5.6E ED VR , also got Tamron 150-600mm , Yes its a lot sharper than the tamron
Can you use it with DX body?
Please can I no the price of the lens? Thank
HOW ABOUT THE P1000 NIKON..
Secret solution for the combo: Lowepro Scope Porter 200 AW Dark Olive 🙂
Beautiful imagery, might be willing to pay a little bit more if they could correct that “football” bokeh. Still an A+ product and value though, and in all honesty thats not really what this lens is for anyway.
In case no one asked this (can’t be bothered checking). How does this different compared to a 70-200 f2.8 VR with teleconverter like 2.0?
ur so cute.
It certainly is an amazing lens, especially when paird with the 1.4 TC.
I also made a slight modification, after having the lens hood fall off.
I made a couple of tiny holes in the back of the hood using a hot needle.
Then attached it to the lens body with a short piece of fishing line.
Lens hood is expensive to replace.
I carry mine using the tripod collar, with a wrist strap for security.
My experience using the 200-500 f5.6 in combination with D7100 has been very good and I am very happy with the lens. Again I thank SnapChick for her video which guided me through the decision process. However, the only issue I have had so far is taking photos of the moon. I have tried it multiple times with clear skies above and it just doesn’t come out sharp enough (with max zoom). I have tried various S, A and ISO combinations but to no avail. What am I doing wrong? Any recommendations? Many thanks!
I have this lens paired with my D500 = PERFECT MATCH! To new wildlife photographers, this is what you need.
you can buy a flat roll up hood
Very good review. Thank you.
Please review this item with v1
if i have a p900 nikon do i require thsi lens
Hi there , did you find a ‘bag’ solution for the 200-500 lens and kit? I am having the same issue
i want dis.
Having to take it OFF the camera body when packed is an advantage. It’s never a good idea to pack a camera body and big & heavy lens together. If you drop the bag there is a good chance it will bend the lens mount on the camera.
I recommend the Lowepro 13x32cm padded case for carrying. I use it with my Tamron 150-600 G2 which is roughly the same size and it’s great for protection. A little bit expensive, but it’s worth it.
