The following opinions have been automatically translated with Google Translate.
Pros:Sharpness (also with 1.4x and 1.7x), balance of the lens by hand, AF speed, price compared with the 500 f / 4 VR used.
Cons:Lack VR
Opinion:One senses immediately the optimum balance of the lens, using freehand is a virtue not just! Weighs exactly like the Canon 500 f / 4 is (optical I've had in the past) but Nikon seems much leggero.rnIl weight is always subjective, after years of 500/600 and 400 is 2.8 is I can safely say that the 500 F / 4 Nikon weighs "just" ;-). RNLA sharpness is excellent and can be multiplied or semi-duplicate (1.7x), I'll have to test even with the 2x but will definitely an emergency solution. Goes great on a body demanding as the D800, the detail is impressive even with 1.7x and DX mode 15 mpx.rnL'assenza of VR is not a serious lack, in the Canon disattivavo always on tripod and hand pounds .. .so I do not create big problems! rnih final lens is a great ... if the old Nikon lenses are so sharp I'll have to take by force even the 300 2.8 ED II! rn
Pros:Sharpness, AF speed and accuracy, cost used; favorably multiplier
Cons:weight, lack of availability
Opinion:I do not feel absolutely lack of VR (I had before the 300/2.8 vr), and these should always be used with super telephoto tripod or bean bag. It is a superb lens, in my opinion, especially since the loss of sharpness or with the original teleconverter compatible (I use the kenko pro 300 1.4x) is imperceptible. If you find it at a reasonable cost is a lens to have for photo hunting without thinking.
