The Nikon 80-400mm VR f/4.5-5.6 has some significant limitations.

by jvandegr , May 5, 2005
Pros: Acceptable image quality at most apertures, VR works well in most circumstances.
Cons: Small minimum apertures, image quality not great, slow autofocus, minor durability issues, not best value.
The Bottom Line: Conditionally recommended for amateur use, not professional. Slow focus, no internal zoom, small minimum apertures, not as sharp as Nikkor f2.8 zooms or telephotos, durability questionable.
This reviewer recommends this product.
Review: Introduction

The requirements of a recent assignment sent me looking for something longer than the end of my Nikon AF 80-200mm 2.8D ED zoom lens. The...

Expected Quality from Nikon

by sailingshot , Nov 20, 2006
Pros: Great quality optics, small and easy handling, great reach and VR.
Cons: Slower optics and focusing, not cheap to buy!
The Bottom Line: Buy it if you need it. It loses a star because of the focusing, but that's arguable depending on application. This is a 1st rate lens.
This reviewer recommends this product.
Review: Yes, we expect quality from Nikon and get it here with the 80-400. But there are enough mixed reviews out there from people who just don't know enough to write a proper review, so let's address that first.

1) The 80-400 is NOT FAST GLASS...

A Tank of A Lens That Needs Its Own Mode of Transportation

by colonialpara , Mar 27, 2007
Pros: Incredible images, colorful, sharp, contrasty.
Cons: Cost and weight. A Tank of a lens!
The Bottom Line: If you need the reach and have the dough, this lens does the job!
This reviewer recommends this product.
Review: The Nikkor 200-400 mm F4/G ED-IF AF-S VR lens is one of the many I have borrowed from Nikon representatives at various outings I have attended. Most recently, I borrowed one of these lenses on a Nikon sponsored trip to THE BRONX ZOO in NYC and it is...
