Pros: Ultranitido when used smooth, with the 1.4x must be closed at least F6.3 to have a dignified yield, very stable when used on solid tripod and gimbal, fast and silent motor, hood (it has 2) modular, in case you need more short, or the big one does not pass from the loopholes of the huts, it can be kept on the one with a smaller diameter.

Cons: It is not suitable with the latest Nikon Teleconverter, as incompatible, heavy, not usable freehand, foot supplied a little else, but you can very well replace with a low profile, minimum focusing distance in manual 5, 4mt and in 5.6mt AF, sometimes limiting when used by neighbors, extension tubes must be used. To carry it you need a separate backpack, because bring the yellow box Nikon that is in kit (well built) is not really easy.

Opinion: I've been using it for 5 years on the D300 / D700 / D500 / D810 and it gives emotions even when handling it, built in an excellent, heavy and magnesium way, the engine is ultra-fast and does not feel the weight of the years, (my exemplar has 10 but it is still - Mint Condition). It is not very well balanced, so it should be used on a solid tripod and leveled well, freehand even to think about, it is not really suitable and then the camera + Lens combo comes to weigh almost 6kg. With the D500 has a lightning-fast AF and I can also follow the actions in flight well, the machine performs micrometric adjustments at each shift, aligning the MAF with the point of fire in an unexceptionable manner. Good, but simple and slightly exceeded the limiters for the distances but they have large frets and is easier then use them in winter when wearing gloves or mittens. The new ones on new lenses are really small in my view. The lens has made less digital than the last releases (and also compared to the 300 F2.8 VR that I have and with which I have benchmarks) but reit solves the lines well and then in PP obviously it also adjusts the contrast that is lacking at the base, however the yield is conceived in this sense, it is useless to ask him different behavior. Recommended if you want to spend the right (in 2018) for a canvas of this caliber, not afraid of older brothers (VR / FL VR) if used smooth, gives superb images and those testifying the page related to queso glass of Juza I am proof of this.
