Nikon Nikkor AF-S 200–500 mm f/5.6E ED VR
1. Introduction
In the following years Sigma showed two versions of the ‘Bigma’ (so the 50-500 mm model) and the 150-500 mm f/5.0-6.3 APO DG OS HSM.
Big brands have been rather unwilling to enter that segment. Canon and Sony haven’t offered similar constructions to this day. Pentax, as usual, chose their own way and suggested something in-between so the Pentax D HD FA 150-450 mm f/4.5-5.6 ED DC AW. Only Nikon decided to accept the challenge of Sigma and Tamron – in 2015 they launched the Nikkor AF-S 200-500 mm f/5.6E ED VR.
