Opinion:In my opinion today it does not make sense because it is outclassed in everything by the new model in fluorite, which not only weighs more than a kilo less, but above all is not unbalanced forward, which makes this open-handed lens, unless it is mister universe. It can only make sense if you think about using it with the monopod but it applies only to those who do sports, for photos of nature and wildlife not, because in many situations it is necessary to be able to shoot freehand. If you plan to use it for wildlife only with the stand orienting on the old models for the budget then it is much better to orient yourself on the 600 mm f 4 (more versatile in bird life and better duplicated) or on the old model of the 500 mm f4, which also has the merit of being ut Freehand as it is not unbalanced and weighs only 3.7 kg.
Pros:Extraordinary image quality, blurred top, to date the affordable price
Cons:Weight and footprint
Opinion:An extraordinary optics, nothing to say, despite age creates incredible files, even at high iso the noise becomes acceptable. Bought for the price, today it is accessible even if many people are discouraged by the age factor but in this case it is not felt for both autofocus and generated files. I used it on the d500 for birdlife and by comparison everything I shoot with extreme zooms is unparalleled. You pay for the high weight and the little handling even if it holds up well with the monopod and the clutch head. An optics to be used in a fixed position, for dynamic shots or wandering hunting you have to resort to something else. The smooth use with multiplier 1.7 where closing 1 or 2 diaphragms does not show particular decays both as sharpness and as autofocus.
Pros:clarity, impeccable build quality, excellent balance on the stand.
Cons:weight, bulk front lens, price.
Opinion:I bought this lens in 2007, immediately gave me a lot of satisfaction, high sharpness, fast AF, focus fantastic, combined with the F100, D70, D300, and finally with the full digital format of the D800, has been appreciated further, the 'coupled with various multipliers, 14E II, 17 E II holds very well up to 20 E II, which qualitatively lose a little, while the AF is always fast, even for the video is a good solution.
