The following opinions have been automatically translated with Microsoft Translator. | Nikon AF 80-400mm f/4.5-5.6 D ED VR Pros: Compactness, weight, colors, clear 80 to 300mm, stabilized, well built Cons: Lose a bit to 400mm, af very slow with d80 and acceptable with d300s (but always slow compared to today's standard), a price a little high but with the takeover of the new 80-400 has become fair (about 1000 euros) Opinion: The 80-400 was my first telephoto zoom. The first sample that I took was second-hand and the 2xxxx serial number went back to the first specimens produced by nikon. My first 80-400 did not satisfy me much: at 400mm it was really soft (even closing at f8) and from 80 to 300 it was discreet. However, it remained an excellent companion for photographs of landscape details. One day I read an article in which it was written that nikon in 2006 revised this lens from an optical point of view and introduced the new models with new 4xxxx serial numbers. On the article it was written that the 80-400 to 400mm, already at f5.6, was good to then become excellent at f8. At the beginning I was hesitant but then I decided to put 300 euros more than I had obtained from the sale of my used and I bought a new 80-400 (year 2011). How did it end? I did not believe it but at 400mm f5.6 it was clearer than the model I had (matr 2xxxx). From 80 to 300/320 is very good while at 400mm it is discreet (but closing one stop improves a lot).Regarding the af with the d300s is acceptable. It's really an optic that allows you to do a lot and with little space. sent on June 13, 2013 |
