    Backyard birding with my D5500 & 200-500 is so enjoyable and a great value.

    I bought the 70-200 2.8E FL ED VR when it's on sale ($650 off). The lens is incredibly sharp. AF with D500 is super fast. Many complained the zoom ring placement. I actually like the design. With battery grip on D500, it's very natural to hold the lens without touching the focus ring. I used it to shoot sports and got great results. I am looking for a 17-55 2.8 but it seems it has no match to the 70-200 2.8 FL.

    Great vid! As epic a lens as the 200-500 is (I own it, it's epic!) I do think you need to get a review in of the Tamron 150-600 G2. (has to be G2) I've seen a lot of posts in your vids asking about it and I don't think there's another person on youtube that'll do it properly like you. The flickr page for the Tamron has some amazing shots and in particular Rowe's BIF page on the lens is ridiculous and I mean ridiculous... so it might be worth putting it through the cycle! With Tamron having a few other really nice SP lenses I think a lot of people are wondering if the 150-600 is a dud like the 15-30 or dud. Thanks Ken love your work!!

    Great energy - thank you! My daughter plays bball and I often shoot where light dies. I have had success using a 1.8 nifty fifty but considering a 2.8 24-70. Please share your thoughts. Thank you in advance!

    Ive always shot sports and wildlife with a 70-200 2.8 VR II and the the 300mm 2.8 VR. The 300mm is kinda heavy but not too bad, I did a whole day at a zoo carrying it and was fine - no damage to my D700 and got some really epic shots. The only time I notice a big lens like the 300 2.8 is when I sot down for a cofee and its on the table.

  • @jc32750
    @jc32750 Před 7 lety +1

    I know you hate the Nikon 80-400mm but to be honest it works fine for me but agree the 200-500mm is a good lens and costs a lot less. Keep up the good work.

  • @AxeLady66
    @AxeLady66 Před 3 lety

    What is the model number of the $600 lens that is attached to the camera? I'm looking for a replacement (under $1,000) for the 70-300mm vr lens that I dropped. I used it to take bird photos with a Nikon D850.
    This channel has been very helpful! Thanks!

  • @octapusxft
    @octapusxft Před 7 lety +3

    Theoria Apophasis, in your opinion how does the Nikon 200-500 holds up to the150-600 lenses of Sigma and Tamron?
    Is the fact that it is also from Nikon makes the D500 more optimized for Nikon lenses like the 200-500?

  • @lonnieclemens8028
    @lonnieclemens8028 Před 4 lety

    What is the first lens that you are talking about? I keep missing the size of the lens. I know you said it was awesome. But what size is it?

  • @fernandoopoka8269
    @fernandoopoka8269 Před 7 lety

    aaand the FX 70 300 VRII 4.5 5.6 is a good choice for wildlife and portraits?

  • @svtk5104
    @svtk5104 Před 3 lety

    Do you like 500mm PF? Compared to the classics 500 f4, etc .. So far I observe, the image quality is not as perfect, but very very good. Better than 200-500 and the 300f4 AFS ? And the size & weight are woow ...

  • @rishistar8555

  • @tyleroneil2309
    @tyleroneil2309 Před 7 lety +2

    So is the D500 the best for sports action? I'm new to this world so any suggestions on bodies and lenses would be great! Love your videos man. :)

  • @joecerda630
    @joecerda630 Před 7 lety +3

    love my 17-55 on your recommendation...I'm thinking about the tamron 150-600. how does it compare to the Nikon 200-500?

    • @kathodosdotcom
      @kathodosdotcom  Před 7 lety +3

      all reports are the same the 200 500 is superior, i know the VR for sure the hell is

  • @iggynor5007
    @iggynor5007 Před 7 lety +3

    l was sure that you were going to recommend the 70-300mm af-s vr

    • @MichaelScheele
      @MichaelScheele Před 3 lety

      I used that lens on a Nikon D90 (crop sensor) for aerial photography. The auto focus was fast enough. The image rendition was a little flat. The reach was good, though 400mm on the long end could have come in handy. I wonder how it compares to the 200-500mm on a full frame?

  • @colinme2672

    Most game systems are loss leaders. It's a known thing in the gaming world, when new systems come out - the companies lose around $100 a system. Only to make it back in software sales.

  • @NirzarLakhia

    What is your recommendation for using Nikon TC 1.4 iii for bird photography on Nikon d500 with 200mm-500mm 5.6 lens?

  • @cheny8923
    @cheny8923 Před 7 lety

    what about the 300 AF-S F4 D ?? before u said that was your favourite but here you recommend the 300 F4 E PF

  • @Metal4everYAY
    @Metal4everYAY Před 7 lety +2

    What do you actually think about the new sigma 500mm f4? I got the money to buy that and sell my 80-400mm lens. I will use it for bird photography :). Alternatively, I was considering a used Nikon 500mm f4.

  • @brianhawkshaw5139
    @brianhawkshaw5139 Před 7 lety +1

    Theoria Apophasis, would you be able to do a comparison between the AF-S 70-200 f/2.8E FL ED VR and AF DC-NIKKOR 105mm f/2D?

    • @kathodosdotcom
      @kathodosdotcom  Před 7 lety

      now thats some radical apples to oranges comparison :) ease and speed and convenience are the only reason id grab the 70 200 over the 105
      however ease and speed and convenience happen all the time as necessities, dont they

    • @brianhawkshaw5139
      @brianhawkshaw5139 Před 7 lety

      So which one would you take if you had the two of them to choose from?

    • @yousefal-nassar7279
      @yousefal-nassar7279 Před 7 lety

      Brian Hawkshaw pardon the interference, but I'd grab the 70-200 FL anyday, overall, it's much better, I have the vr2 version, and I'm looking forward to upgrade after seeing the results from the FL lens

  • @abhijeetsharan6738
    @abhijeetsharan6738 Před 7 lety

    But which lenses would help produce the next great image in portrait ( low light but low ISO ) , portrait ( out door , natural light ) and landscape at night ...

    • @kathodosdotcom
      @kathodosdotcom  Před 7 lety

      for some people it IS……especially working pros that need the best, period…..and for those people its a tax write off anyway
      best portrait image? the Voigt 58mm 1.4 Noct

  • @westrokker

    Will this work on a Nikon D3200? Meaning the 1400$ version ...

  • @ArthurMG00
    @ArthurMG00 Před 7 lety +2

    Nice tips! I really enjoyed the video! Why do you say AF-S NIKKOR 80-400mm f/4.5-5.6G ED VR sucks? I have one... And i do not have many complains about it.... The only downside I found is its mediocre build quality... Dust gets inside it... But apart from that, I have nothing to complain about these lenses...

  • @jc32750

  • @rayray-ln9gx
    @rayray-ln9gx Před 5 lety

    I have taken great wildlife pics with the 200-400mm, birds on the wing, even using a TC, how does it suck?
    TC if a bird is close is fine in good light, even the hated 2X.
    I even have the original version, sure, it's a 5.6, If one uses it properly it is not a bad lens at all.
    What, do people not realize the limitations, a 400 is not going to be great for any object that is too far away and any 5.6 is not great in low light.
    . The 300mm 2.8 sets in the tripod, the 200-400 is around my neck on another camera without the tripod mound, it's light and I don't even worry about damage to the camera.
    And why would I prefer a 400 3.5 over a 400 2.8 using a TC other than price?

  • @Catosc4us
    @Catosc4us Před rokem

    I know this is an older video, but do you have a recommendation for a low light telephoto for American football? Is there anything that is price comparable to the 200-500 for low light?

    • @kathodosdotcom
      @kathodosdotcom  Před rokem

      200 500 and monopod

  • @Vaptomwen
    @Vaptomwen Před 7 lety +1

    I've tried a D500 with that new 70-200 f2.8 & it's unreal. However I still think Canon has the best wildlife telephoto the EF 100-400 f4-5.6 mark 2 lens, sharp & more compact.

    • @eeevosss
      @eeevosss Před 7 lety

      bobbintonn could I ask you? if I have choice between d500 d750 canon 6d for family and life around
      what will be your advice?
      thanks

    • @Vaptomwen
      @Vaptomwen Před 7 lety

      On those 3 , probably still the D750 over the D500 as DX doesn't have many wide angle lenses , but otherwise D500 is a good choice. As for Canon I'd wait for a 6D Mark 2 , there are many great L lenses for Canon & 3rd party . Maybe Nikon will soon update the D750 as well.

    • @eeevosss
      @eeevosss Před 7 lety

      bobbintonn thank you so much!
      but tell me please also about nikon technical support . if I buy any nikon camera. not from official shop. and I'll get some trouble with camera. service centre of nikon will fix my camera? because I heard something. but maybe it is rumours? !))))

    • @Vaptomwen
      @Vaptomwen Před 7 lety

      #Evos I have never dealt with the technical support of any camera company so I can't help you there. Not even my D600 had the famed oil leak of You Tube. I'll also add I have never bought a camera online or grey market & I happy to support actual physical store where you can try physical cameras. Otherwise I'd probably have bought camera like the original em 5 or Fuji XT1 both of whom I don't get on with the ergonomics & controls. Equally thanks to physical stores I can say the Canon 5D Mark 4 is quite an enjoyable camera to use.

      I seen one guy taking images of a little tiny screw that was maybe 2mm long. He had a ton of extension on the lens and was filling the frame with it. I think he said he was for a catalogue. It amazes me that a screw can be manufactured that tiny. Like those tiny screws holding your macbook together.
