Description

Wherever your passion lies, this outstanding super telephoto zoom lens can bring it into focus. Capture and share stunning views of birds, wildlife, motorsports, athletes, performers, landmarks and other faraway subjects. A fast f/5.6 constant aperture gives your shots beautifully out-of-focus backgrounds across the entire zoom range. Turn fast-moving action into dazzling photo sequences-- the electromagnetic diaphragm operates in sync for the fastest subjects and shutter speeds while Vibration Reduction image stabilization keeps your shots sharp and steady. And in the rare cases when additional reach is needed, you can increase the AF-S NIKKOR 200-500mm f/5.6E ED VR's zoom power with an optional Nikon 1.4x, 1.7x or 2x teleconverter.

  • Excellent lens, at less than full price
I was a bit leery of buying a "renewed" lens, but after multiple outings taking nature photos I'm glad I did. When the lens arrived, the original box looked funky but I didn't care about that -- it went into the recycling bin a while ago. The lens itself looked pristine, and meshes perfectly with my Nikon D5600. The lens is larger and heavier than I expected! I keep the tripod mount on at all times and use it as a carrying handle. If you use the tripod mount that way, be sure it's on tight. Before buying the lens, I wondered if the 200-500 zoom was enough to document fairly distant birds. Short answer, it is. Between the sharpness of this lens, the megapixels in my Nikon D5600, and shooting in RAW, I can crop fairly heavily to reach farther than the nominal maximum zoom of the lens. I've also had good luck in low-light situations. I'm really glad that I put my money into a higher-quality "renewed" lens, as opposed to a brand-new "kit" lens. A final bit of advice: keep the shade on the lens whenever you're using it. Not only does it shade the front of the lens, it protects the lens from accidental bumps and scrapes. With the shade on, I don't bother with the lens cap. ... show more

  • Seller didn’t mention item was defected
I bought this in January 2024, it worked fine for a month or so, then the zoom ring started getting stuck. Then I realized something was scraping the neck ring. I looked it up and apparently this is a common defect with this lens and there was a solution of removing the plastic ring, and tightening the little screws. So I did remove the plastic ring to realize one tiny screw is actually missing, and other was have been worn out. Now the lens completely stuck between 200-300 and I can’t turn it back to tighten the screws. ... show more

  • Incredible lens
This is an amazing lens, for what it is. It does not compare to a 500mm f4 lens, but it’s a fraction of the price and weight. There are times I wish I had that extra stop of light, but it’s a fair trade off. The lens is very sharp, and focus is really fast. I highly recommend it.

  • Love it.
Was skeptical about a refurbished lens but there was nothing wrong with it. Know before buying that this lens does have some weight to it. I still carry it around on hikes though without using a tripod.

  • Wanted one for a long time
This lens was advertised, refurbished in excellent condition. I can't afford a new one, so I took a chance and placed the order. It arrived early and looks like new. I experimented a little around the house and it seems to be working as it should. It's heavy I'm excited. I was planning on being in the Wyoming and Montana mountains by now but developed some medical issues. I'll be taking the trip asap. ... show more
