Nice, simple unboxing and honest comments, thanks.

Looking forward to the hands on review.

Nice to hear no nonsense real impressions. Kudos for your pronunciation of Scalextric too! I've been anguishing about replacing my D810 and going z for the wysiwyg finder with old lenses + ibis and the latest 105z micro (my ais is falling apart). I will have the same niggles as you so this vid was very funny and useful to me - a grumpy brit 😂

So, my 5 yo lens, the exact same model, has the exact, same symptoms. I'm is the US and was going to send it off to NikonUSA for repair. I'm going to give this a try. If not successful, I'm wondering if NikonUSA will take on the problem after the seals have been tampered with? I purchased the lens, new, for $1400 dollars US and I've seen discounts from NikonUSA in recent months. I think I'll take the risk. Thanks for the YT video from across the pond.

Thanks for the video. You helped me enormously. I had two screws that had completely come out! A bit of shaking (and not a small amount of cursing) and they both appeared. Nikon wanted £720 to repair it. Thanks again, I'm very happy once more. 🥳

That’s really good

Great pics mate

Based on the issue I was having with my Nikkor 200-500mm lens and your instructions on your video I was able to repair the lens in about 5 minutes. Yep, the silver headed screw was the issue. It was a simple fix. Thank you so much for your video.

But it's stuck. I can't turn it to expose the screw. That's the whole problem. 🧐

I have not got this lens yet but valuable to have advance info on such problems :) In fact I'm also concerned about this lens susceptibility to moisture ingress and thus condensation deposit internally. A well known 2nd hand kit supplier proposes approx 9/57 of this zoom model 'with light condensation' problem, and I am intrigued how to deal with this should it arise. Obviously, peeling back the rubber shroud would allow better airing and drying access. If anyone has more advice it would be gratefully recieved.

Yes! Everything was exactly as you described, and it took me just a few minutes to roll back the grip, locate the offending screw - which, as you pointed out, had become more visible against the black by rubbing its paint off against the housing, and tighten it with a precision screwdriver. Much less involved by a whole order of effort than what I was anticipating when the lens got stuck

Thank you very much. Save my lens

Love it. So beautiful ❤❤❤❤❤

Try the angelbird cfexpress type b cards, they cost a lot less and are blazingly fast.

Good work my friend

Congratulation on your purchase!

Thanks for sharing this information. Very helpful indeed.

Hi !!! Just did what you suggested, thanks, worked perfectly without dismantling everything . Great job!!!

Just beautiful 🤗💕💕

Yeah! This is what I like! Lovely video 😄👍

Fantastic drone video please 🙏 add me 🙏🙏👍👍👍

Good nighht. Wildlife!you shared unusual !godspeed-

Why you downscaled it to full hd (2k) instead of upload it in 4k ?

The nikon D500 does have 1.4x crop factor due to DX sensor, plus an extra 1.5x crop in 4k mode (i think it's 2.1x total crop from a full frame equivalent) so adding the 1.4x teleconverter you got around 1700mm lens full frame equivalent shots, right ??

The 600mm f4 D I AF-S (without VR) does have the same sharpness and optical performance of the VR one ?

Oh that face on that bird :). Love it. The video quality is wonderful and the bird chirping are very soothing. Great job my friend 💕🤗💕🤗🤗

Stunning quality

My lens could only move between about 380mm and 500mm -- at 380mm, something would hit a hard stop and prevent me from retracting the lens any further, even with considerable force/torque. As such, I wasn't able to retract the lens far enough to reveal the screw you point out at 5:46. I ended up having to remove that shroud after all, which wasn't too bad: - With the lens at 500mm, I removed the screws with the nylon sleeves that are visible in the round holes to the left of each of the rectangular cutouts. (I don't know whether this step is necessary.) - I removed the rubber grip entirely (just pull it towards the lens mount) - This reveals a black and silver metal ring, connected firmly to that plastic shroud. - As mentioned by Kaleem Ahmed in ruclips.net/video/xF_bkZD2c0Q/видео.html (about 50 seconds in), the plastic shroud is held onto the black/silver metal part with adhesive. - I was able to slide the edge of my Jimmy (from iFixit) into the gap between the plastic shroud and the metal part, which gave me leverage to push the shroud forwards (towards the front of the lens). I worked my way all the way around the lens doing this, and once I had moved the shroud forward by a millimeter or two, I was able to slide it forward the rest of the way by hand. Once the shroud is off, sure enough, one of the three screws was sticking partway out, and the black coating had worn off the top. After tightening that back down, I could retract the lens all the way. Putting it back together: - Slide the plastic shroud back down. It'll only go all the way down in one orientation, so try rotating it a third or two thirds of a rotation if you can't get it back into place. My adhesive is still sticky enough that I'm not worried about this part moving around after the repair. - Zoom the lens to 500mm, put the screws + nylon sleeves back into place into the round holes next to each of the rectangular holes. - replace the rubber grip.

Thank you very helpful will video helped me sort my lens out with the same problem

Excellent quality and the birds are just beautiful.❤

Congratulations on your first flight. Looks like you managed it well

Amazing drone view please 🙏 add me 🙏🙏👍👍👍

How much (£) are they please? Also, as a new 4-eyes I came here because I was looking to find out what type of cloth is the best for cleaning classes. Any tips? Thank you in advance.

always spray the cleaning solution onto the wipe, not the lens

settings??

That is very clear footage.

Excellent video!

Very helpful and easy to understand instructions - sadly my lens does not retract far enough for me to see the otherwise hidden screws.

Brillaint thank you. Worked a treat 👍👍

This problematic shit happened again. This lens fucking sucks.

I have had my 200-500 for about two years now without any issues, until today when I finished a session and could not close the zoom down below about 250mm. I immediately found that it was stuck in that position. I had read on various forums that this was a known issue and that it had something to do with an internal screw coming loose but hoped I would never have to deal with it. Thankfully I found your video and felt confident enough to attempt a repair. I folded back the rubber grip then removed the tape and metal strips. This exposed the three “windows” however with the lens stuck at 250mm none of the offending screws are visible. I had to get pretty physical with the lens in order to get it to move at all. Eventually it became free and I was able to move it all the way out to 500. I found the position where the screws were visible, but testing with a screwdriver they all seemed as tight as I could get them. I took a risk and closed the lens down to 200 and to my horror found it was stuck again. ! Using force, I managed to get it to zoom out. I decided my only option at this point was to put everything back how it was and tape something near the top end of the barrel to prevent me closing it past 250mm. So that is what I have done.

was that gillie or gimp

all talk no frills

please any help my lens stuck on 200mm and i cannot able to reach those srew is there any way i can fix it
