Why you downscaled it to full hd (2k) instead of upload it in 4k ?
@carminedepaola8018 Ай бұрын
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 ??

VR on a 600 f/4 is pointless, you can't handhold these lenses as they are too heavy, this means you will need a tripod and as such needing VR is not going to be an issue. Yes, the sharpness is still superb, see my latest KZfaq video which shows Herons in 4k shot on the 600.

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 kzfaq.info/get/bejne/rqyPlc6LqZjHYIU.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.

Thanks for the kind words. You can force the lens, if the screw has dropped out then the zoom shroud is plastic and the screw tends to scratch the inner shroud and not the outer barrel so any marks are not visible.

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.
@wildlifesnapper1 6 ай бұрын

Your lens will move, you may have to force it but it will only scratch the plastic shroud inner and not the barrel, if you are lucky If the screw has completely come loose then it may scratch the barrel.
