Pros:Pro body, af speed, sharp sharp and still sharp, bokeh, low weight of "only" 2.5 kg, carbon hood, A-M/A setting for autofocus and autofocus range limiters, usable with multipliers, tropicalized, minimum focusing distance
Cons:Weight shifted towards the front lens, big to encircle with your hands, difficulty in finding spare parts if the need ever arose
Opinion:The lens is a real pro made in Japan, it is fast, quiet, excellent as colors and even more excellent as sharpness. In the past I have had several lenses, tamron 100 400, sigma 150 600 C and nikon 80 400 second version.. what can I say, they play in 2 different leagues.. This lens allows you to make heavy crops without any problem, I often use it freehand and the results are really good in my opinion, with tripod or monopod it is scary. Usable with tc, I use it on D500 with the 1.7ii and the yield is still excellent. It shares the same optical scheme of the new 300 2.8 vr and vr2 I consider myself totally blown, it surprised me and will continue to surprise me. Paid 1300 euros with seller's guarantee I think it is worth every penny spent, it is less versatile than the various zooms and a little difficult to encircle but it makes you dream. I recommend it.
Opinion:Purchased in lieu of its predecessor AF 300 f 2.8... It exceeds it quite well in quality... in general... especially at full aperture. It produces very good images even with the multipliers TC 1.4 and TC 1.7... But I rarely use it. Never tried it with the TC 2.0. The autofocus is quite accurate even with light lacking... While its speed could have been a little better. I use it almost exclusively for photographing cars... vintage species type 1000 miles and Grand Prix Nuvolari helping me with the monopod, when I can, when I start to tire of its weight coupled with that of the camera... that then this model II and over half a pound less than the first series built from 1996 to 2001 and also focuses 30 cm. Before. It has the same optical structure of its successors VR and VR II that have, however, for this bought some more weight. On some occasions I replace it with the AF S 300 F 4... Which is lighter and when used with a pair of closed diaphragms has nothing to envy him. I can't write comparisons with other brands lenses because I've never owned them... excluding a Canon FD 300 f 2.8 So many years ago... but that's another story.
