Excellent, the go to tool for safari
I bought this lens to take on safari in South Africa. I was concerned that it may be 1) too heavy, 2 make blurred images when shooting action in low light at max magnification. Wow, this lens is no cause for concern when shooting on the fly in low light.

Nikon AF-S Nikkor 200-400mm f/4G ED VR II Review
The Nikon AF-S Nikkor 200-400mm f/4G ED VR II is a hefty, expensive lens, but its telephoto reach and wide aperture make it a great choice for wildlife and sports photography. The price tag of Nikon's AF-S Nikkor 200-400mm f/4G ED VR II lens ($6,999.95) may shock you, but it's actually quite reasonable when you consider its telephoto reach, superior optics, and rugged construction. And it looks like an even better deal when compared with Canon's similar EF 200-400mm f/4L IS USM Extender 1.4x ($10,999), although that lens does benefit from an integrated teleconverter, a feature that the Nikkor lacks. If you're a Nikon shooter and in want of a long zoom lens that can let you keep your camera's shutter speed high and ISO low in a variety of lighting conditions, the 200-400mm is a solid choice. It's not quite an Editors' Choice winner; the slower, but longer reaching Sigma 150-600mm f/5-6.3 DG OS HSM Contemporary ($899.00 at Amazon) remains our top pick, due in no small part to its lighter weight and friendlier price. Design and ControlsThe Nikkor 200-400mm ( at Amazon) is not a small lens. It measures 14.4 by 4.9 inches (HD) and weighs in at 7.4 pounds. ...- Very sharp

If you're willing to put your step in this profession, you can start with this camera.- The good part is
- I found the lens compatible with super telephoto zoom lens
- One con I found is that Nikkor 200-400mm f/4G ED VR II is quite heavy for my pocket
