Nice, mid-level lens?
All things considered to me, the lens is outstanding.
The inarguable proof is demonstrated in the images throughout the 200-500 thread.
Yes, one often has to work to get the really high quality out of it. But you have to do that with any lens. And it is there. Ok, so the highest quality is at the closer distances. Isn't that the case with all the superzooms?
Images taken at closer distances with the 200-500 are often thought to have been taken with one of the two Nikon 500 primes. People have said this.
I am one who can afford a 500 or 600 Fl, but so far, the 200-500 has taken away that desire. Increased weight and lack of versatility are factors for me. I am a nature photojournalist who has had several 300 2.8's. I feel the 200-500 got me through that 500mm threshold and into high quality images.
This is all subjective. This lens is better than mid-level.....by a long shot.

Okay, upper-mid-level, but it is no super-telephoto lens.
You're opinion is what's subjective. The 200-500 achieves only average, to upper-average, marks in any category you want to measure lens performance.
Nikon knows this ... hence the price ... when compared to what Nikon itself prices its *truly* outstanding lenses ... hence their price.
Denial isn't rebuttal.
