sir,
Can i use this lens with a D500 and 5600 .
regards
Yes I use mine on a D500 and d3300. I had to focus tune mine because it was soft at 400mm on my D500. After careful tuning it is fine.
Not for the faint hearted, this is an expensive and heavy lens. Images are stunningly sharp when you get it right and out of focus areas are beautifully soft. The VR works well but unless you’re a body builder don’t count on using it hand held for very long, the best place for it is on a good tripod or monopod. It works well with the TC14 wide open but you might want to stop down a touch to improve sharpness. Overall a stunning and flexible lens once you’ve mastered it.
