Is the nikon af s 500mm f 5 6e pf ed vr good on aps c?

Yes, it's a very good match for APS-C. On a Nikon APS-C body it frames like 750mm, which is serious reach for wildlife and sport without a bigger kit. The f/5.6 aperture gives about the depth of field of f/8.4 there, so you get a little more in focus than you would on full frame.

I'd pair it with the Nikon D500 or the Nikon D7500 first. The lens is also stabilised, so handheld shooting is realistic in good light. If you want to check how the numbers work for other formats, the focal length converter does the sums, and the sensor sizes guide explains why smaller sensors suit wildlife so well.
