Pros: Granite, eternal, non-existent AC also croppando very

Cons: Anti-glare treatment bad

Opinion: I must say that this lens is really excellent, even if some waiver must be done. Sometimes you can find pictures washed out with a clear fall of contrast. It is to be said that on this lens THERE is no treatment N that Nikon has then started to do later. Will this be the cause? Surely it is a pity that sometimes this happens. At the level of optical quality bare and raw I do not find differences abygenal with Sigma 150-600 S or Nikon 200-500. The real differences are in the speed of AF, which on these fixed specimens is brutal and instantaneous, and the possibility to mount filters of 52mm before. On the €2500 to which it is located is definitely a sensible choice. Other specimens with VR and similar doubled in price, and the differences do not justify the outlay. Attention only to backlighting

Pros: Speed and precision AF, sharpness already at full aperture, virtually complete coverage of the FX frame, optimally balanced, made with duplicators, price of the used.

Cons: Needless to say the weight even if the bracket is comfortable and well positioned, infinite lens hood, not having it, poor availability of spare parts in case of failure

Opinion: I bought this glass for a few days, tried it in avifauna with results needless to say excellent. On D3s The result is spectacular, what you expect from a Nikon of that level, holds and perhaps wins the comparison with younger brothers who pay pawn to the stabilizer that for me useless to these focal, think of using it freehand is pure utopia. Color rendition from Nikon, Fantastic floor deadlift, spectacular sharpness. It also made me think about the goodness of the d500 that I had a little on my stomach, never convinced me and is still in the balance but with this monster also makes excellent work, the AF in particular becomes a lightning, a sniper-proof of Cinciarella. In short, if you find it used do not think 2 times, sure if you were to break something to find the parts is almost impossible but the risk is worth running, is a Nikon why should break?

Pros: Yield optics, autofocus speed, reasonable price in used (if it is located) in relation to performance.

Cons: Weight, though manageable, huge hood, although very efficient.

Opinion: It is a purpose built impeccably and where the yield does not regret absolutely most recent productions. With a little 'habit is also utilizzabilissimo freehand, although in a series and the other requires a little' break to rest your arms. Personally I think it is an excellent alternative to new versions, allowing you to have a tele-class without having to make a mortgage! Very suitable for naturalistic photos and motorsports. For me absolutely consigliato.rn
