The 200-500 is a nice lens isn't it? Hand holdable to an extent. I like it on a lightweight tripod. Easy to carry about and fast to use. It is as sharp as many of my primes. What are your thoughts on it?It's more fun in The Philippines
D810 with 200-500 f/5.6 @ 200mm and f/5.6
It's very sharp and the VR is extremely efficient. I took around 5,000 photos with mine, all of the hand held, all of them sharp. It's also very well corrected for CA and other aberrations. However, it delivers images with little depth and contrast. It works best for distant subjects. Also, the build quality makes it problematic for harsh environments and physical abuse. I'm not sure that I would take it to the race course. To much physical contact with fences, the tarmac and other photographers. It's still a great lens though, and stupid cheap for the quality it delivers. I sold mine though, since at the moment, I can't afford to have gear that isn't used more or less on a daily basis. I might buy another one if I need it later, but will probably buy the 300mm PF first.The 200-500 is a nice lens isn't it? Hand holdable to an extent. I like it on a lightweight tripod.
