Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. Will this lens maintain focus on a stationary object while zooming in or out in MANUAL focus mode?

A: I hadn't tried this until you posed the question so I got the lens out and gave it a whirl. As far as I'm concerned it does hold focus. Focusing at the 200mm length and zooming to 500 the focus was pretty close but focusing at 500 then zooming back and forth it held the focus perfectly so I have to say that my focus on the subject at 200mm was not that accurate. I have been impressed with the clarity of the photos I have taken with this lens so far and am very happy with the purchase. Well worth the money for a lens of that length.

Q: 2. I have a nikon Z6 with ftz adaptor, and want to buy this 200-500 beast, but not sure whether this auto focus will work good or not, as I already have nikon 60 mm micro and having some auto focus issue?

A: It will work very well with the Z6 and adapter.

Q: 3. Is this lens compatible with the Z50?

A: The lens uses the F-mount system whereas the Z50 uses the Z-mount system, and requires the Nikon FTZ adapter (https://bhpho.to/3jW4Tbk) to work. It does work well, and because the Z50 is a crop-factor, the lens will have an equivalent focal length of 300-750mm.
