Hi all,
This is geared mainly for the 400/2.8 G or FL users, and following on from 500/4 squeal as I have been looking for an 500/4G then an FL and most that I have come across have the dreaded AF squeal. The retailers I have checked recently on 2 copies of the E did checks on their stock and admitted the lenses did squeal. As I use the lenses for birds mainly the squeal is a no-no.
Question I have is - is the issue as commonplace in the 400/2.8 as it is on the 500? None of those I have looked at online have squeal mentioned (unlike some of the 500s on sale at MPB, credit to them for mentioning it) so the focus of my search is going towards getting the 400/2.8FL.
Any info from Nikkor 400/2,8 would be appreciated.
