My name is Bojan Stepančič and I am a professional photographer from Slovenia. I run the photography site foto-info.si. More information about me and my work can be found here.

What is the effect on the perception of quality of a certain lens when comparing it in its own quality range is best seen in the new Nikon lens AF-S Nikkor 24-70 f/2.8E ED VR. That is also the reason I made the test and evaluation from the user’s point of view. I focused on detailed analysis, but all in the context of visual depiction of certain differences and features and not just listing boring numbers, which is often the case with these tests. I tested the lens as a photographer and focused on the features that matter to me . Read More »

Nikon AF-S Nikkor 600mm f/4E FL ED VR lens review

By [NR] admin | Published: August 29, 2015


This Nikon AF-S 600mm f/4E FL ED VR lens review is by Nikhil Bahl (website | Facebook | Google | Twitter):

In 2011 Canon released the lighter versions of their 500mm and 600mm lenses. At that time, I owned Nikon’s very first AF-S 600mm f/4 version which weighed in at 14.5 lbs, on my scale. Safe to say, I didn’t do much hiking with it and was very envious of Canon’s new offerings. About 4 years later, Nikon has released the new 600mm f/4E FL ED VR and 500mm f/4E FL ED VR Lenses. After reading all the specs, it took me only 2 days to order the new 600mm lens. Weight was the biggest factor, but I have been pleasantly surprised by other improvements.

This review is based on my tests at home and over 10,000 images made in the field. The lens was primarily used with a Nikon D4 camera body and some tests were done with the D810 camera body to see how well the lens performed with a high resolution sensor. I have given the lens a good workout in different conditions and the following are my thoughts on various aspects of the lens.
