Pros: size and weight

Cons: a little bit faster autofocus

Opinion: I've been taking photos with it for over 1 1/2 years. and still get a grin on my face. it is light for being relatively small at 800mm. I almost always have it on the camera, often with the teleconverter. However, it will be slower. Not recommended for lightning-fast birds. Without TC you can easily hit swifts and swallows with it. but it takes a lot of practice.

Pros: Rocky construction, except for the lens hood, very effective stabilization, excellent sharpness and bokeh. The field in which it excels, however, is the size/weight/performance ratio!

Cons: Lens hood a bit weak, minimum focus, position of the MAF ring.

Opinion: I've owned it for almost 2 months and I have to admit that it's a wonderful object: Nikon with some small compromises offers us a real masterpiece! I think that the way I approach nature photography, it's the best compromise that exists: light and compact considering the focal length and aperture. The construction is rocky, except for the lens hood which although it engages well, does not have the build quality of the lens and is quite plasticky! The focusing speed is excellent, as far as the precision of the latter is concerned, I promise to deepen further in the future, because I want to know better the potential and adjustments of the camera with which I use it, the excellent Z8. I would have appreciated a lower minimum focus, but given the focal length it is not an insurmountable defect. Excellent quality of the blur and brilliant color rendering: even when used against the light, I did not perceive the much-touted limitations of the Fresnel lens that I did not perceive as so limiting. Closing the aperture to f7.1 increases sharpness even further, but you can easily use it wide open. The stabilization is mind-blowing, although I would have liked a button to set it for panning or to mute it on the barrel. Limiting the position of the maf ring nut which is a little too far back and hindered by the bracket for the kickstand. I refer to the near future, the yield with the multiplier 1.4 x, which I intend to buy as soon as possible. You can't have everything and like all things it can be improved (small defects of youth), but I believe that it is indispensable in a naturalistic outfit, especially if it is aimed at photographic hunting and photography of animals in the mountains!

Pros: Stratospheric

Cons: Nobody

Opinion: An extraordinary lens has changed the lives of many action photonaturalists like myself. Its lightness combined with extreme quality and fast autofocus makes it a perfect adventure companion. My itinerant photography often requires me to hike in the high mountains for several hours and the lens must always be at hand to immortalize what is in front of you. Having a portable 800mm is priceless.

Pros: Extraordinary

Cons: Difficult to use

Opinion: Accomplice the 500 f4 to the boxes for cleaning and controls I thought not to stay for an indefinite period without supertele. I therefore had the opportunity to take an extreme perspective and try a gamble by getting out of my 500mm comfort zone and going a lot further. When I pulled it out of the box I thought, "This is a joke"? Lightweight, almost half the size of the 500f4, and extremely balanced. Beautiful, with that golden circle to bring out even more the fact that it is a super lens that more "Prime" you cannot. Attached to the Z9 you feel more the weight of the camera body than that of the lens. The compactness of the Z9 and the fact of having the integrated bg, however, makes the whole absolutely perfect. Optically superlative. Colors, micro contrasts, sharpness always at the top at all openings. Blurred so well cared for, nothing to do with previous PF productions. Even the yield in the backlight is good and far from the problems of its predecessors. Monstrous Af, even higher than that of the 500f4. Pro optics, very difficult to use because of the very narrow angle of view, 1mm of movement of the lens corresponds to one meter if not more inside the viewfinder, so wrist and steady hand are essential for use in free love. Even on the tripod, however, it becomes more complex to follow the scenes because you have to calibrate the movements of the head. Once these obstacles are overcome, it becomes an extraordinary lens. Thanks to an amazing VR, the most performing ever tried to date, it becomes a perfect lens for itinerant shots in cars or boats or other vehicles but also an extraordinary aid for trekking not too long in the mountains with final stalking. Of course it must be used with criterion and knowledge of the facts, that is, it must be used at distances of normal nature photography, you can not expect to photograph subjects at 1km away and expect them to be as good as those placed at 50 meters. In any case, even the yield at long distances is excellent, even here nothing to do with the old pf. In short, promoted with flying colors. Nikon with the supertele Z has really made masterpieces and this Z 800mm f6.3 Vr is among them. Well done Nikon!
