lb), the 70-300 is the lightest lens on this list, making it a practical alternative if you want a cheap, ultra-portable lens.

These cameras are the D4, D4s, D3, D3s, D3P, D3x, Df, D810, D800/e, D750, D700, D610, D600, D300, D300s, D7000, D7100, D7200, D5500, D5300, D5200, D5100, D5000, D3300, D3200, D3100 and newer.This means backgrounds and foregrounds go soft without distracting, but that they don't completely disappear, either. But for us, the spectator photographer, we need to think differently to a pro-motorsports photographer and this is where the superzoom comes into its own.

In terms of lens design, Nikon threw in quite a bit of its modern optical technologies into the lens.This makes it an ideal option for wildlife photographers who want to capture stunning images without breaking the bank. This is because primes have larger glass areas, have better quality glass and wider apertures, therefore letting in more light helping with the auto focus amongst other things. This is about as big and heavy a lens as I’d want to try that with, and it can be fatiguing very rapidly.

Sharpness: The Nikon MTF charts suggest that the 200-500mm should be an excellent performer wide open, and yes, it seems that it is.stops of image stabilization, which is remarkable for shooting handheld at slow shutter speeds in low light. The lens sample that John Sherman used for his testing turned out to be quite poor when shooting at infinity (as reported in his detailed super telephoto zoom lens comparison), which I did not experience with mine.
