Description

Another "under the stars" optical test for a Nikon lens, this time the 200-500 VR zoom lens which sports a 89mm clear aperture at 500mm. Being only ~1.6kg this would make an interesting and lightweight choice for astrophotography but how does it perform fully open at 500mm? Here is the test result with a Full Frame D610.
