I have found it to be a very good performer. I got mine to use on my new, at the time, Z5. There were no affordable long teles for the Z cameras at the time, so I got this lens and an adapter. It has seen quite a bit of use, and a little abuse, over the last couple years with no issues either mechanical, or electronic. I have considered switching to the new(ish) Z 180-600, but everything I have read online says if you are happy with the 200-500, stick with it. I have since moved on to the Z8, but have no plans to replace the 200-500 anytime soon. It has long been considered one of the best bang for the buck long lenses for Nikon, and adapts well if you decide to move to mirrorless in the future.</p></blockquote><p></p>
