Pros: Construction, colors, rendering, blurred and detachment of the planes

Cons: Weight compared to the new 500 5.6

Opinion: I took this lens for bird use, I was impressed by the yield on Nikon D5, compared to the 300 2.8 multiplied the photos have gained a lot of three-dimensionality and a detachment from the phenomenal background. The colors are beautiful as well as the blurred, the photos are absurdly better than the new 500 5.6 although this is much lighter and more manageable, but for shed use having an extra stop of light and a top yield can be very convenient!

Pros: Impeccable construction and solid, optical yield unimaginable for a lens of this age, color, sharpness and contrast at least at the level of the optics latest! Excellent with 1.4x

Cons: Weight, autofocus slower (but not much) with respect to the optical feature of more recent engines, a minimum distance of focus

Opinion: I did not put in against the lack of stabilization because the way I shoot is not a problem, I want to emphasize the constructive perfection and amazing optical performance: brilliant colors and terrific, great detachment from the subject sfondo.rnOvviamente dates the size and weight requires learning and attention in order to unleash its excellent quality. With a bit of experience you can get good results even freehand course for periods not prolungati.rnA my opinion a must have, too bad it was built in only 876 copies .......
