    If anyone needs a camo cover I have a couple of spare ones.

    AF-S Nikkor 200-500mm f5.6E ED VR

    I agree, AF seems very reliable on my D7200. Also I cannot replicate the AF issue related to the recall for the firmware update even though mine is one of the first lenses released.

    Thank you for your kind comments. AF with the 2x works with cameras that support f8 AF (D7100, D7200, D750, D800, D810, D3, D4, D4s) from the top of my head AF with the 1.7x worked well even with consumer cameras (D5200)
