- You can use the large focal length for sports, nature, and wildlife photography.

- This lens isn't dustproof or splash proof.

- sharp photos
- price quality very good
- constant aperture throughout the zoom range
- not waterproof
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.

Constant quality!
- Image quality
- AF is spot on
- Very very good VR
- long stroke for zooming from 200 to 500 mm
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.
