Sharpness is outstanding in the centre at maximum aperture | 1/500 sec | f/4.0 | 500.0 mm | ISO 500
Gary Wolstenholme has just post a full review of the new released Nikon AF-S NIKKOR 500mm f/4E FL ED VR Lens at the Ephotozine.com. This super telephoto prime lens features excellent build quality, light weight ,outstanding sharpness, super fast focusing, low distortion and weather sealing. The only flaw is the high price of over $10,000. He also posted several beautiful sample images taken with relatively compact Nikon D600 online .
Conclusion From the Review:”Just like with Nikon’s other updates to their top-of-the-range pro lenses, this lens is capable of delivering the kind of image quality you’d come to expect from the best that Nikon can offer.Although the £8000 price tag will put this lens way beyond the reach of many, features such as the relative light weight, fast focusing and superb handling will make this lens a popular choice for rental too. The lighter-weight alone is worth some kind of premium to pay over other alternatives…”
