This guy is so happy

Great review, but now Nikon have come out with 180-600 mm Z mount for their mirrorless series, it would be great to review and compare the 2 great lenses

Well done explaining both. I had the 200-500 and sold it for the 500 PF. Would never go back simply due to the weight. Hand holding the 200-500 is a killer.

Do you not miss the zoom ability of the 200-500.??

​@@Jimmy_Cavallono, I hardly ever found myself shooting at anything less than 500mm. Especially for birds.

My 500 PF is WAY sharper than my 200-500 ever was. Of course the weight is a big factor too.

Wonderful. Your videos have come up on a few of my searches lately, and all of the reviews you’ve posted are fantastic. Well organized and presented. Also, fantastic audio! Thanks for making these great reviews. I was surprised that there’s only 1.35k subs on this channel, I must have gotten in early. Guaranteed in a year you’ll have 10-50x if you continue posting.

It’s a trade off but no not really an issue giving up the ability to zoom in and out.

Excellent video, I'll definitely be watching some more of your videos thank you. Subscribed too!!

Good comparison! What can a 300 mm f4 prime with TC1.4x do in your opinion? Definitely not good for small birds, but what can be captured with significant sharpness?

I haven't used the 300 + 1.4X but AF might be relatively slow, especially with older versions of lenses and teleconverters. Thanks for watching and commenting, I appreciate it 😊

Dear Girish , I am watching your videos on u tube ,which always increase my knowledge and moral too.I am having D500 and 200 500 lens, I am enjoying it, but one of my friend said that go for 500 prime.. is is worth. Just because my age (66).Kindly guide me.

Hi, if you can afford the 500 f/5.6 PF lens, it's a wonderful lens and incredibly small and light for a 500 prime lens. 500 f/4 prime lenses are expensive and heavy but have their own advantages, especially in low light. If you're interested in clicking birds, the 500 PF lens offers more versatility, especially since it makes it so convenient to use it hand held. However if you're interested in clicking animals also on Jeep safaris, the 200-500 offers a larger range of focal lengths which is important because many times 500mm is too much zoom - for example when a tiger is crossing the track close to your Jeep. Thanks for watching my videos are commenting, I appreciate it 😊

One of the best Videos on 500 PF vs 200-500 lens, I wish I had this Video before I had taken the decision to trade in my 200-500 with the 500PF. The advantage of 500PF over the 200-500 is its weight and form factor than the image quality and AF speed. The 200-500 really gives the 500PF a real run for the money. Now, I have even gone further by putting 100-400z lens too in my arsenal and that way when in jeep safari I am having one body with 500PF and the second body with the 100-400z to cover the advantage. Both are very light but great set up.

So many useful videos, thanks for your insight Girish! I'm still struggling to find "my" telephoto wildlife lens.. don't know if i should get the Tamron 150-600 g2 or the Nikkor 200-500, both used, i'm kinda low on budget. Do you have some experience on the Tamron? I really like the weather-sealing and the lower weight over the Nikkor, what do you think?

F/6.3 is rather useless in low light. And I find myself clicking in low light a lot. The Nikon does well, it focuses fast and accurately if you use it on a good camera Thanks for watching my videos and commenting, I appreciate it 😁

@@TheOpenImage can you elaborate more? I never thought that 1/3rd of a stop matters that much - eg going from iso 2000 to around 2500-2700. also I guess you are aware that putting more pixels on the target at 600 gives more sharpness, less noise per the needed crop of 500, shallower dof. its literally the sharper and less noisy alternative when framing subject at the same distance. unless you assume that you always get closer. by the logic of which, then just use 300f4. or 135 f1.8 . or ..

at lower shutter speeds the pf has sharp images while its necessary to be at higher speeds for the 200 500. the pf i found best abt say a 1/320 ss and above . of course one can hand hold both for as low as 1/40 or lower even but we all know in bird photography u wouldnt get a tack sharp image. pf is definitely sharper on zooming in and better contrast
