Nikon 200-500 against Sigma and Tamron 150-600 zooms
Size-wise, the Nikon 200-500 more on par with the cheaper versions of Tamron and Sigma, ie, a smaller and lighter optics to secure more often bring with them, and would rather use the free hand than the Sigma 150-600 Sports. But the price and performance is Nikon's more on par with sports variant, however, the step of the image quality, stabilization and autofocus function. Also compared the Sigma 150-600 C including Sigma converter TC-1401 and the Nikon 200-500 including Nikon Converter TC-14E ​​III, and this difference becomes even more clearly to the advantage of Nikon, which also depends on the Nikon converter is sharper (but fits unfortunately not at all on Sigma optics, and Sigma 1401 is only compatible with their own lenses).
Plus
+ Good sharpness over the entire zoom range at full opening
+ Excellent sharpness at f / 8 at all focal lengths
+ Negligible chromatic aberration
+ Low Distortion
+ Very effective stabilization
+ Fixed aperture of f / 5.6 across the zoom range
+ Autofocus quieter than usual
+ Autofocus quickly and accurately (Nikon D810)
+ A sturdy tripod mount included
+ Lens Hood Included
+ Performs well with Nikon's teleconverter TC-14E ​​III
+ Low price in view of its performance and image quality
Less
- Grows in length during zooming (just like other similar telephoto zooms)
- Relatively large, heavy (just like other similar telephoto zooms)

Conclusion
With the new AF-S 200-500 / 5,6g ED VR Nikon shows where furniture should go! This lens is in my opinion the most affordable and best performing super-telephoto zoom, in writing, with slightly better image quality and better autofocus and stabilization than others. Also gives more useful results with the 1.4x converter (which of course also the TC-14E ​​III, the converter has a significant role).
