Nikon 200-400mm f/4G ED-IF VR AF-S Nikkor review by johnmh

Picked this up used - can be impossible to find new for months at a time. Have used for wildlife and shooting cliff dwellings in the Southwest. This is a great lens - meets or exceeds expectations.
Pros:
  • great lens
Cons:
  • large (it's the nature of the lens

After reading many reviews I brought this lens, and What a lens! I spent a day or two testing this lens against my other two long lenses, Pentax 400mm f4 EDIF, and 600mm F5.6 EDIF, both with NIkon adaptors, and it beats the 400mm at f4, 5.6 and as good as the 600mm at f5.6.
Pros:
  • sharpness
  • Can be used hand hold, so it is extremely useful when you are shooting on the go like most tourists
  • Well if I were a professional and have more money and assistance from technicians, I would get the 400mm VR, 500mm VR and 600mm VR
  • But I am not.
Cons:
  • expensive
  • especially for someone who is also shooting other formats (large format)

The Nikon AF-S 200-400mm f/4 has been a favorite lens among wildlife photographers. Back in the 1980's, Nikon had a manual-focus AI-S version that was in production for 5 years (1983 to 1988). Originally it was sold in the $3000 range (that was, of course, 1980 dollars).

Nikon 200-400mm f/4G ED VR II AF-S Nikkor

Totally agree with Lisa Osorio. Muneeb Qadar - a digital marketer at Dubai Monsters recently purchased the camera and thought of the same. This camera is the ultimate dream for new photographers. If you're willing to put your step in this profession, you can start with this camera.
Pros:
  • The good part is
  • I found the lens compatible with super telephoto zoom lens
Cons:
