Re: "Official" Nikon 500 f/5.6E PF Discussion and Image Thread
I was also looking at this lens when it was first announced to replace either the 80-400mm f/4.5-5.6G or the 200-500mm f/5.6E, but after looking at the images coming out of this lens, my interest has dropped tremendously.
Not saying it can't take sharp pictures, but most of the sharp pictures coming out of this lens is usually close-up shots that can show the details in the feathers, once it is used against distant targets, the details were so so to horrible. Both my existing lenses within the same range can do better than that even though my 80-400mm produces horrible chromatic aberration once it is use against dark subject in brightly lighted background at distance wide open, which Nikon here says is normal. Normal my foot! Just look at their own advertisement in their brochure will indicate that this lens should produce sharp pictures. Time for a class action lawsuit for false advertisement for any attorneys who needs to make some $$$.
I can also provide the pictures showing the conditions that I also shared with Nikon to make your case easier.
