On receipt of this lens despite being aware of the weight I was slightly disappointed by the size and weight. I had previously rented a Sigma and the Canon 100 to 400 to evaluate with my Canon 50D but I need a lens for my Nikon D300 so I bit the bullet and bought the Nikon 200 to 400 without a trial. Despite my early disappointment I am overwhelmed with the physical quality and image quality of the product. I have given it five stars because the image quality, VR and focussing etc are excellent, but in all honesty unlike the Canon it is too heavy for hand held shooting, a tripod or other support is a must, however the few hand held images I have taken are excellent even with a Tamron 1.4 extender. My photographic interest is mainly birds and wildlife and again ... MoreOn receipt of this lens despite being aware of the weight I was slightly disappointed by the size and weight.

My photographic interest is mainly birds and wildlife and again unlike the Canon 100 to 400 it is difficult to maneuvre this lens quickly for in-flight birds but the static images are spectacular at 400mm and with the 1.4 extender. I have since done some Photoshop work to remove twigs and branches etc but the focus out of the camera is virtually as shot on the attached images. In summary I am pleased with the lens and would recommend it highly despite its weight.

I have had this lens now for little under four years. I have taken this lens every where with me from Alaska to South Africa for wild life and just got back from Tanzania yesterday Feb 15 2017. Shot over 10,000 frames in Tanzania and very happy with the results. I also shoot high school football games at night under very poor light and still get fair results but then again I have it married to the Nikon D5. I suggest you rent before you buy. I also have a Nikon 2.8 300mm lens I bought for doing the night football games. The 300 ended up sitting on the shelf at home.

The Nikon AF-S VR G 200-400 mm f/4.0 zoom is a pro lens by any means. You may also call it a "tool", so you should buy it if you have a job in mind for it. I bought mine for airplane and airshow photography. I have a Nikon 300 mm f/2.8 prime lens that I use a lot and it is excellent for me under most circumstances, but there are times when a fixed focal length lens is less than optimal. At most airshows the photographer's move relative to the airplanes is limited. Often times the planes fly across my field of view, at a relatively constant distance from me, but the military demo teams such as the Thunderbirds and the Blue Angels may fly directly overhead at me or away from me. These are the times when I wish I had a zoom to follow them, and that this zoom be as good ... MoreThe Nikon AF-S VR G 200-400 mm f/4.0 zoom is a pro lens by any means.

These are the times when I wish I had a zoom to follow them, and that this zoom be as good as a fast prime lens. For me, the Nikon 200-400 f/4.0 serves exactly this purpose. I can photograph the planes when they are flying down the runway or when they are flying across it, directly towards me. The 200-400 f/4.0 lens is sharp, it has incredible details and it is virtually free of the so annoying color fringes and distortions that less capable lenses suffer from. The autofocus is extremely fast as you would expect from a lens designed for sports and wildlife photography. You can read the detailed technical reviews of this lens at various photography web sites, so I'm not going to go into those details here. I only want to say that this lens can do all the things that the reviews say it can. Of course, this lens is heavy. I recommend using a tripod with a gimbal head, especially for fast paced sports, like airshows, boat or car races and such. You may try using a monopod but be careful with the traditional ball heads. I have used monopod with my 300 f/2.8 but the 200-400 f/4.0 is longer and heavier than the 300, so be careful how you set the friction of the ball. There is one thing you must know if you buy this lens. Some versions of its carry bag, the Nikon CL-L2 case, is under recall because the bottom of the old style case can fall out. An accident like that almost certainly would destroy your investment. I followed the instructions on the Nikon web site to request a replacement bag, and eventually got the new style case. Customer service lost track of my replacement request along the way, so it took a few phone calls and emails to sort this out, but finally I got a new style carry case that I can trust. I am looking forward to the new air show season with this lens. Based on my limited tries at my local airport I am very confident that I won't be returning this beauty to the seller.

First and foremost, this is a superb lens. It ought to be for the investment needed to purchase one new. Whether you're using an FX or DX formatted DSLR this will be a mainstay in your kitbag, for anything sports and wildlife related. Coupled to a DX body, this lens becomes a 300mm to 600mm lens when you factor in the crop of the APSC body with the gain that gives you in reach over the FX variants.Ideally you'd be using this lens on a top end body say a D500 or D5 / D6 for wildlife. It's a cracking lens for macro too, so ace on the D850. It has a great close in focus limit of 2 meters. Super-fast autofocus, memory recall. This VRII lens has slightly better VR and has Nano coatings on the front lens element. But the optics are the same as the mark I lens. I've had ... MoreFirst and foremost, this is a superb lens.

It's a cracking lens for macro too, so ace on the D850. It has a great close in focus limit of 2 meters. Super-fast autofocus, memory recall. This VRII lens has slightly better VR and has Nano coatings on the front lens element. But the optics are the same as the mark I lens. I've had both variants of this lens, they're pretty much identical, plus you can pick these lenses up considerably cheaper on the second-hand market if you look hard enough, you might find a bargain. I wouldn't discount the mark I (VR) lens, unless you need the minimal updates this VRII lens has.The f4 aperture is fast, bright, the end results optically are a marked step up from the more consumer lenses, as you'd expect, and dare I say it from some of the newer Nikon lenses. This lens is better value than its replacement, the 180mm to 400mm. It's a great lens but bulkier and optics wise no better than this. It does have a built in tele converter but I never use these personally. Plus, at ten grand, I'd be going for the fixed primes, personally at that price banding.Build quality is what you expect from a pro lens, built for serious and sustained use, looked after, you'll only ever buy one. Fully weather sealed, there's nothing flimsy about this lens. It's a heavy lens, but has a great point of balance, so you can handhold it and at reasonable shutter speeds the VR is excellent whilst handholding the lens. It isn't front end heavy like the 400mm f2.8 or 600mm f4, which both realistically need to be on a mono pod or tripod.Personally I would rent one of these lenses first and see what you think. Most folk slate prime lenses because they say 'they're too heavy'. A crass dig really, as what were you expecting. These are very large metal / alloy and glass units. Designed to be manhandled and absorb some rough treatment in the field.If you shoot using mirrorless kit, weight might be an issue, but if your work is primarily in the field, outdoors for hours in all weathers and if the likelihood of a knock or tap to the lens is likely, I'd buy one of these. Nikon seems to have milled out a lot of the strength and weight in its PF lenses particularly the f5.6 500mm, not a great lens for serious shooters in the field, but a reasonable lens if weight is your primary focus, say if you're a travel shooter or on a cruise or something, or struggle with the size and weight of pro kit. Plus, it's more expensive new than a good second hand 200mm 400mm.Photography is about trade-offs, there's no one lens that does it all perfectly. The 200 to 400mm is a great lens that comes recommended. Go check one out and see for yourself.
My first Nikon professional lens. It is well crafted and autofocus is fast and sure. It takes the tc14e teleconverter well. I fine tuned it to my d500 and it is sharp up to 350mm with or without the teleconverter. The last 50mm is a little soft at 100 percent magnification. If you are a pixel peeper. Lol. Otherwise great fast lens for a great price. Thanks MPB!!
Very fast focus even in low light.Yes it does have the vignetting issues you see people talking about, but is very fixable in post.Works great with Nikon AF-S TC-14E III Teleconverter with no loss but not so well with Nikon TC-20E III AF-S Teleconverter.Large lens use filters in the back and takes some getting used to.Over all it's one amazing lens.Doesn't seem (to me) to be as heavy as everyone makes it out to be. I may change my mind once the newness wears off.Yes I would recommend it.Yes I would buy it again.
This lens is acceptably sharp throughout its range. Not too heavy, compared to my 400 2.8, and reasonably compact.I'm now predominately a wild-life shooter. This lens lets me trek with two lenses, two converters (1.3 & 1.7), two bodies, tripod and monopod. Unless I know I'll need the 400 2.8 it can stay off my back. Don't get me wrong, this lens is not a substitute for the 400 2.8 when shooting at dusk and dawn or into hidden dens and nests.I don't miss the 2.8 as much as I thought I would as EXPEED4 handles higher ISOs so well.This lens does exactly what it is intended to do at reasonable heft and size.
I purchased this lens specifically for youth tournament baseball photography, as it was much less expensive than the Nikon 400mm f/2.8 AF-S prime telephoto. Although it loses a stop compared to the 400mm f/2.8, the flexibility of the zoom is very useful covering various infield plays and some outfield plays. It's definitely a daylight shooting lens, and is not ideal for late evening and night games under the lights. Then I switch to my 70-200mm f/2.8 VR II lens. It's a heavy combo attached to a D500 with grip, so I use a CF monopod and Sirui tilt head. After AF fine tune, this lens is quite sharp at typical baseball distances (I normally have field access). I also recommend the Think Tank Glass Limo backpack for transport.
So I have been looking at this lens for a while and chose to pull the trigger on a refirb. I am not going to review the lens as from a use point of view (how well photos come out / how heavy) rather the condition of the refirb and if it will suit your needs in this condition.1. Lens arrived in its case well packed with bubble wrap. Thank goodness as the box was absolutely beat to heck. Lens had no damage. Very fast shipping as usual.2. The overall condition of the case was great. I would say "almost new" with the only wear marks being on the insert. I was very happy about the condition of the bag and the soft lens cover. I initially thought a hard lens cover was included but it is not in the package deal here.3. The lens exterior showed obvious signs of wear. ... MoreSo I have been looking at this lens for a while and chose to pull the trigger on a refirb.

I initially thought a hard lens cover was included but it is not in the package deal here.3. The lens exterior showed obvious signs of wear. Mine had a puncture mark on the rear collar that is quite visible. It appeared that the "VR" emblem was replaced with new as it was flawless compared to the rest of the exterior lens labeling. The rubber grip rings were white with a residue typical of rubber that sits a long time after cleaning with alcohol. I took a small amount of tire shine (low gloss) and they cleaned up nicely. the focus grip ring has a medium deep cut but did not impact performance. Foot appeared brand new (100% certain).4. Glass - absolutely PERFECT. Clear as a bell, clean, no scratches and no visible dirt within the layers of glass.5. Lens hood. Honestly a little disappointed here. Mine showed obvious signs of wear. several scratches and the mounting screw doesn't hold the hood on the lens very well without really wrenching down on it. It also appeared that the hood experienced a drop in its lifetime as it is not round but slight oval on one end.6. Functionality - Yup all good. Functions well. All buttons work and feels smooth.7. The filter insert gasket is not glued in very well. I took out the insert to check out the filter and the rubber gasket came off with it. It appeared the glue was not set yet. I used a very small amount of superglue on the gasket and then reinstalled the lens filter housing. This fixed the issue as I can take out the filter easily without the gasket coming with it.Hope this helps someone make a decision on a hefty purchase. Saving over $2k with the refirb deal was worth it in my opinion and in my case. Just be advised you are still buying a USED lens and to expect some minor cosmetic issues. The NIKON rebuild process ensured quality glass and focus...you will get that.
This is a stunning lens. The colour, sharpness, speed of focusing are brilliant.It is of course heavy, however I can still use it for short periods hand held for those candid portrait shots at sports events.The zoom range is very useful. I was considering the 400mm F2.8 but the versatility of the zoom really was the key for me.It works perfectly with the 1.4TC However the auto focus slows down on the 1.7TC if used in low light for fast sports such as motorbike racing, I found the TC17E will back-focus by about 2m. However this is under extreme conditions.Overall this is a stunning lens, highly recommended.I use it for shooting WSBK, MotoGP, Horse racing and music concerts mainly.Tom

Nikon AF-S NIKKOR 200-400mm f/4G Ed VR II Lens
The Nikon 200-400mm f4 G VR II AF-S ED Lens replaces the highly acclaimed AF-S Zoom 200-400mm f/4G IF-ED VR and features the new generation of Vibration Reduction technology (VR II), providing the ability to shoot at shutter speeds up to four stops slower so sharper images can be achieved. The 200-400mm f/4G ED VR II now incorporates Nikon’s exclusive anti-reflection Nano Crystal coat to drastically reduce ghosting and flare, along with four ED glass elements to minimise internal reflections and aberrations and deliver rich, high contrast images even under testing lighting conditions. The new lens features an autofocus with a built-in silent wave motor to ensure fast and quiet focusing, while a new A/M mode added to existing M/A and M modes enables autofocus priority even if the focus ring is being handled during shooting. The Nikon 200-400mm f4 G VR II AF-S ED Lens has a tough magnesium body with weather sealing to withstand the effects of dust and moisture in the toughest of shooting conditions. Key Features A super telephoto zoom lens supporting Nikon's exclusive range of focal lengths from 200 to 400mm Coverage for a wide range of focal lengths enables capture of a wide variety of angles of view with a single lens. Nano Crystal Coat significantly reduces ghost and flare Built-in vibration reduction (VR II) Offers camera shake compensation equivalent to a shutter speed increase of approximately four stops ED lens elements (4) adopted for superior chromatic aberration compensation A/M (autofocus with manual override, AF priority) mode added The addition of A/M (autofocus with manual override, AF priority) mode prevents accidental switching from autofocus to manual focus. Along with M/A (autofocus with manual override, MF priority) mode, which enables manual focusing by rotating the focus ring while autofocus is operating, and M (manual focus) mode, this makes for a total of three focus modes.
