Pros: Sharpness, reasonable weight, excellent lens for apsc, of course the price, stabilization ok

Cons: AF that I consider just enough, tropicalization, sharpening at 400mm

Opinion: After using 70-300 and other canvases I decided to take this 100-400 to use it with my d7500, good sharpness, although at 400mm I do not find it so satisfying. I find the weight more than good, especially after trying more demanding canvases such as the two 150-600 Tamron G1 and G2. Stabilization does its job, but it's nothing extraordinary. Coupled with the d7500 I found it a good lens, AF side I must say I am quite satisfied. Moving on to the Nikon z50 and adapting it things have not improved, indeed, the AF and even worsened despite the lens had also been updated with the dock. It probably needed a fine adjustment via dock, but I did first to sell it and switch to the Tamron mentioned above.

Pros: Sharpness, stabilizer, focal range

Cons: Maybe plastics are a bit delicate and are likely to scratch easily

Opinion: I took it used a few months ago to have a few mm more than the tamron 70-300 (which in light conditions with my d7200 is a good lens up to 200 mm). Already from the first tests at 400 mm, freehand the photo was very sharp from the center to the edges. I use it mainly for landscape so the machine is always on a tripod, but the stabilizer works very well and allows quite safe shots even with decidedly long times for 400 mm if you use it freehand. To date I have not found flaws or limits, except perhaps the delicacy of the coating plastics, so I always pay close attention. Overall a good lens

Pros: Sharpness, weight, stabilization

Cons: a little dark

Opinion: I bought this 100-400 because I wanted a long but at the same time light lens. It fully met my expectations, even better than I imagined. Crisp at all focal points and very good even on the edge of the frame. Light and well stabilized. The autofocus is fast and precise on both the nikon D500 and Z6II. It is a bit dark but if you want a light and compact optics it is the price to pay (today's machines hold the high iso very well so I do not miss, for now more brightness)

Pros: weight, sharpness, stabilizer

Cons: dark; diaphragms have problems on old bodies

Opinion: I bought it used at a very low price. I chose it for mountain expeditions, where weight really matters. Having a canvas of less than 1kg allows you to take otherwise impossible photos. Excellent sharpness, excellent stabilizer yield, which allows you to shoot smoothly even at 400mm. Very fast and precise autofocus. A little weak in the blurry, which are not soft enough. I also used it on an old body (D90). In theory, it's not compatible. It actually snaps without any particular problems, apart from the fact that the diaphragms always remain open to maximum openness. Consading that the lens is rather dark, the problem is not dramatic...

Pros: Weight, price, sharpness

Cons: a little dark

Opinion: Given the rather low cost, it costs a third of the canon, you can't expect it to have a professional and battle-proof construction, it's a bit plastic but done well, the focus ring is a bit hard and not very fluid, pump zoom not really fluid, it's much better using the dial, the stabilizer does its duty, it gets almost to 1/10 freehand. obviously being an F 6.3 when the light goes down the game gets tough. The sharpness is great, at the level of the Canon II even a better thread. It holds the tc 1401 very well, becomes a 560mm and comes very close to the yield of a 150-600 to 600mm, while for all the other focals it is sharper than 150-600, both in the center, and especially at the edges. Almost non-existent aberrations. The autofocus is not very fast, but it is quiet and also scores almost in the dark (on the d500), with tc 1401 still works but slows down a bit.
