AF-S NIKKOR 500mm f/5.6E PF ED VR Lens Reviews Roundup

Here are the latest reviews of  lens. The super telephoto prime lens designed for action, sports and wildlife photographers sells very well and currently out of stock at B&H Photo Video | Adorama | Amazon.

The AF-S NIKKOR 500mm f/5.6E PF ED VR was introduced at the same time as the Nikon Z mirrorless camera systems, so it didn’t gain much attention. This is Nikon’s smallest, lightest full-frame 500mm prime lens ever.  Lighter, more compact and cheaper than a 500mm f/4.

So here are two new AF-S NIKKOR 500mm f/5.6E PF ED VR lens reviews and videos to know this glass better. Also check out the Nikon AF-S Nikkor 500mm f/5.6E PF ED VR lens samples.

Nikon AF-S NIKKOR 500mm f/5.6E PF ED VR Lens Reviews Roundup

Reviews from Techradar:

The compact design Nikon has managed to engineer for the AF-S 500mm f/5.6E PF ED VR is really impressive, but perhaps equally as impressive is the fact that image quality hasn’t been compromised.

“The extra stop of light afforded by the AF-S 500mm f/4E FL ED VR will appeal to some, but if you’re shooting with one of Nikon’s latest full-frame DSLRs, cranking up the ISO by a stop to achieve the same shutter speed with the AF-S 500mm f/5.6E PF ED VR isn’t that big of a deal.”

Reviews from Redbull:

“When I was told the lens I was testing was a 500mm 5.6 I started to think about hitting the gym before the shoot. I began lifting my 400mm 2.8 while watching TV just to shape up. When I finally got a first glance at the lens, I thought that something was lost in translation. The lens looked like a 70-200, and the weight was more or less the same. My last f5.6 glass was a kit lens that came with my first camera 10 years ago, so there was definitely enough room to surprise me.”
