Nikon 80-400mm VR Zoom Review2009-05-26
This is a very good lens with the Nikon quality as expected. It produces sharp crisp pictures - reference D300 camera and is easy to use. The weight and size of the lens may not be for everyone for day to day use.


If you are looking for a good lens to add to your kit, this is an excellent choice.


Great Nikon Quality2009-04-09
The optical and mechanical quality of this lens is nothing short of fantastic. I have been very pleased with the results of this lens. Great sharpness and nice contrast. The lens is a bit heavy but the VR allows one to hand hold it with impressive results even at 400mm. If you need the extra reach of 400mm, this lens will not disappoint you.
Nikon.....is Photography!!!!!2009-03-28
In the early spring and into the summer, I spend most of my spare time working on a raptor nesting program. I look for the nests of various birds of prey, (hawks, eagles, falcons, and owls) gps their positions and photograph the adult and young. To get a better image of these beautiful birds I bought the Nikon 80-400mm lens. I haven't been disappointed. I get good sharp hand held photos, thanks to the VR capability. It is a little slow on the focus but nothing to stop me from getting some great shots of bird sitting and in flight. I recently bought a Nikon 80-200mm f2.8 D ED lens. This lens is very, very sharp. I was surprised when comparing the two lens side by side. It is almost impossible to tell which lens took which photo. Both the Nikon 80-200mm f2.8 D ED, and the 80-400mm VR lenses are a tribute to Nikon high standards of excellence.
Manual Focus!!!!!!!!!!!!!!2009-03-17
I purchased this after selling the famous 70-200mm monster because I wanted the feature of 400mm. I was hesitant to make the purchase because of the noted sluggish automatic focus - and it is true. But now I use it solely with manual focus and usually a monopod and the reults are just incredible. I have taken beautiful bird and wildlife photos as well as far away details that I had never successfully photographed.
Excellent Lens!2009-02-09
Not sure why everyone is saying this is an expensive lens.. Has anyone priced dedicated 400mm lenses?.. They're in the $10,000 range. For the price I think this is an amazing lens. I bought it to shoot car racing and it pulls the action in close. love it!
