Canon EF 50mm f/1.8 vs Nikon Nikkor AF-S 200-500mm

On a full frame, a camera stop down to F 2.8 for an improvement and F 4 for bright corners. The lens is able to focus as closely as 45 centimeters the...

The lens did take awesome photos, but with very limited lighting and focal constraints. You will likely be happy with this lens as long as you have a more modern and powerful camera body to attach it to. The VR system works great in reducing the tremors that come with holding a 5.6 pound lens attached to your camera

8 lens and am blown away by how much cleaner and crisper it is than the 18-45 kit lens. Now when I edit footage I can tell the difference in lighting and video quality from the two lenses. Everything is on a tripod for what I shoot so I don't need a zoom. Should I get a Canon 24mm 2

Try to avoid shooting at f/22 (2,870 lines) and f/32 (1,817 lines). When tested with the same D810, the Sigma 150-600mm Contemporary shows similar sharpness (3,073 lines) and edge softness at 150mm, but at 200mm is a stronger performer than the Nikkor. The Sigma scores 3,803 lines at 200mm f/5.3, with strong performance from edge to edge

People are suggesting a 70-200 and that would be my recommendation for football or soccer, but for basketball usually you should put yourself courtside near the basket.

So this review is using the Nikon D7100; a good camera in it’s own right. First, I hadn’t anticipated the length and the heft of this beast. Mercy, it adds some weight. I went through the steps of calibrating the lens to my body which took a bit longer than I thought it might and found it to be a “+9”

I am using it on a EOS T5 so the camera remains lightweight. The perfect walk around set-up.

If for no other reason to get the weight off your neck. Oh and the reason I finally pulled the trigger on buying it now was the free filter, these are BIG filters and starting around $125 so that was a great discount. Thanks Amason.

Nice fast lens. The autofocus is a bit slow and struggles in dimlighting, but then again, can’t beat the price compared to a USM lens. I’m just starting out and it’s perfect for me.

The autofocus is very fast and VR gives you ~4 extra stops extra performance in lower light situations and hand holding. The lens hood is huge and I was able to narrow down to an Ape Case lens case to fit both the lens and reversed lens hood. Many other cases just fit the lens but not with the hood. I permanently store this lens in the lens case along with the Nikon lens bag

That's a bit closer than the Canon EF 50mm f/1.4 USM ($399.00 at Amazon)(Opens in a new window) , which focuses to about 18 inches.

I was using my 300mm f/4D AF-S plus Nikon 1.4TCII, which got me to 420mm at f/5.6. This combo works really well due to sharpness, light weight, smaller size and good reach
