According to our camera lens expert
With the Nikon 200-500mm f/5.6, you can add a lens with a large zoom range to your photography gear. It's suitable for your Nikon SLR camera. You can use the large focal point for sports and nature photography on cameras with a full-frame sensor. The constant aperture of f/5.6 ensures a good control over the focus depth range over the entire zoom range. To prevent blurry photos, Nikon provided the lens with optical image stabilization. The SPORT VR mode ensures a stable viewfinder when you photograph fast movements. The addition of special lens elements and coatings ensure high-contrast, colorful, and sharp images.

Now in use for 1 year mainly nature photography and sometimes plane spotting. Very good quality You can still shoot handheld with this lens. Not suitable for indoor work (indoor sports) with little light, this also applies to outside when it gets dark or in bad weather conditions.

I am very happy with this lens that I use for bird photography. Before purchasing, I also looked at reviews about the 150-600 mm lenses from other brands. Got the impression from reviews that the Nikon performs more consistently in terms of image quality/sharpness, and that from the constant starting aperture of 5.6. Compared to the 3rd party brands, I deliver 100 mm at the end of the zoom range + that the Nikon is 300 gr heavier. The results in practice make me a very satisfied user. For bird photography you can of course always use more mm, but the images are so good that I still have beautiful images on full frame (D600) with cropping. And otherwise shooting on DX, so that the focal length is 750 mm. Or taking your time shooting and slowly getting closer to your subject is a good one too! Better yet, lay low and let the subject come to you. One more tip that works well for me regarding the carrying weight when you go out with this lens: I hook the tripod collar over the chest strap of my backpack and also have the camera strap around my neck.
