Nikon AF-S 200-500 f5.6E ED VR first review - Brightcolours - 10-12-2015 Not totally. http://blog.kasson.com/?p=11219 But at least the II offers EFCS.

True, it's no rocket science. I just suspect they have to change hardware as well at least they did when I had to send in the 300/4 VR. I saw it on the bill. Nikon AF-S 200-500 f5.6E ED VR first review - Brightcolours - 10-13-2015 I guess they have not provided for a way to update the firmware in the electronics of the lenses, so they have to replace the electronics board to give the lens updated firmware. I guess that might change in future, now that they have had a few lenses with problems in a relatively short timespan. Nikon AF-S 200-500 f5.6E ED VR first review - JJ_SO - 10-13-2015 The issue with the 300/4PF VR was a weak VR with blind spots at times between 1/125 and 1/200. It was not only the firmware circuit to be exchanged, it was the whole unit or parts of it's mechanic (my interpretation).

I mean, every piece of equipment with a processor and an electronic interface can easily provide for firmware upgrade - the only reason for not doing that is when there are security implications. For what concerns Nikon, a problem might be in the fact that they are maintaining a legacy connector in the mount, but when they upgraded the thing to accommodate the electromagnetic diaphragm mechanism - I mean, introducing an incompatibility with older camera bodies - they should have taken the opportunity for firmware upgrade as well. Nikon AF-S 200-500 f5.6E ED VR first review - Sridhar Madananth - 06-13-2016 Hi, Wanted your suggestion - Am using d3300 camera and planing to buy this lens .. Do you think its good choice ? Is my camera good to hold this lens ? OR should i look to buy new camera first .. Need your suggestion please. Thanks Sridhar M Nikon AF-S 200-500 f5.6E ED VR first review - JJ_SO - 06-13-2016 No matter which long tele-zoom you choose: It's more "the lens is good enough to hold your camera", not the other way round. All of these lenses weigh more than a D3300. The Sigma Contemporary 150-600 or Tamron 150-600 are a bit lighter than the Nikon and about 25-30% less costly. Plus more range. I never saw a direct comparison of the three lenses. I guess, the Nikon is not worse than any of the other two - but is it 25% better? menaing "worth the additional costs"? |
