I recommend you get a USA version, so if it breaks you can get it repaired easier.

So, I’m thinking of buying a Nikon AF-S FX NIKKOR 200-500mm f/5.6E ED Vibration Reduction Zoom Lens with Auto Focus. I have a Nikon D7500 DX camera and this is a FX lens. Will it still work on my camera? I would have to spend $1400 on a lens that won’t work on my camera!! Thanks for any help on this!! ☺️☺️


If you have made your decision, private message me, I have that lens, used once, I am switching lines, comes with everything as new and I can include my B&H invoice, I believe I got it in November or December of last year.
I believe I will want to get about $1100.00.
And it is a US model, purchased from B&H.
Many thanks, Bill Aubuchon

Hi:
I have a Nikkor 80 to 400 telephoto lens in perfect condition, no dings or scratches, with hood, lens covers and Nikon padded case with shoulder strap, for $450- plus $28- USPS shipping, Paypal.
I am located in the Los Angeles, CA, area. My Wetpixel and eBay seller ratings are 100% buyer
satisfaction. This lens should do all you want for a most reasonable price.

Unfortunately I do not have the funds to buy a lens yet. I’ll look on UHH when I’m ready to buy!! Thank you though!

It will work and my Buddy put one on his D850n for the H-of it. We took some Eagle shots off of the Mississippi and they were amazingly sharp. Then I put my 500mm f/5.6 PF on my Z9 and used my 600mm f/4 to. In comparison, the Nikon 200-500mm f/5.6 really did a great job. It's a heavy bugger but so what, of course the Quality was not good enough when it came to Auto-Focusing, just a little sluggish. So then, I put my new TC1.4III converter on it, focus slowed down, but the shots were pretty darned good. A lens that you might want to try is the Tamron 150-600mm g2. Great lens, especially if you send the Camera Body with the Lens and let them Calibrate it for FREE, you pay shipping. My Friend also has the 600mm f/4 Nikon and yes it is a great lens, it should be for the $13,000 that it costs for the both of us. Now, if you are going to be serious, then if I were you and depending on what your intent to use it for, Wildlife and Sports, just spring $3700 and get the 500mm f/5.6PF. It all comes down to what you shoot. If you want, you can PM me and I have a Camera store right here in Michigan and I can get AAA+++ quality gear at a great price break. Plus, the Tamron 70-200mm g2 is a great lens. I like to stick with my Primes because I shoot for Our 4 Major PRO TEAMS and I'am one of the Staff Photogs for my Alma-Mater, University of Michigan. I have a Brand new Tamron g2 150-600mm that I could sell you, but I would want what I paid for it. My Equipment is a part of my life and I take care of it accordingly. If you really want the 200-500 Nikon, trust me when I say that you won't go wrong. Good Luck and if there's anything that I can advise you on, just drop a dime.

Attached is a shot of my RRS support with Nikon 200-500 lens. Note that this can move the lens back or forth to balance the weight of the lens and camera body I use and at the front there are two supporting wheels to allow the lens to rotate and still support the weight that is in front of the camera body. Hope this helps. PS I have no connection with RRS (Really Right Stuff).

Yes, this lens is going to work on your D7500. When I saw the title of this post, I went to get my checkbook, I thought you were asking for donations, glad I read the complete post before making a check out.....lol. You are going to love the lens if you make the purchase.
