Good takes Graham!
I have one -assuming we are talking about the newest version. Got it as a lightweight multi purpose lens for my wife..
Truthfully, I have never got on with it BUT I may not be doing it justice.
I keep comparing it to the Nikon 70-200, 300mm & 400mm which I normally use.
I will be taking it to Cape Verde with me in 2 weeks (for Surfing & Kite Boarding) so will hope to give it a decent kicking then.
Graham, those Josh images are simply SUBLIME......! ^^^
Respect Sir.
Quite into bikes myself.....still riding after 35+ yrs. My son races in Superstock series, I'm looking forward to the Knockhill season starting within next month or so.Mr Brookes does make it easy to take good pictures though Peter, mind you thats wide open at f5.6 so its no slouch this lens

He lives on the Isle Of Wight, he must ride the local circuits in/around lower UK I'm guessing (Marc McCullough). After having nearly every bike over the years I've been riding a (2008) Suzuki V-Strom DL1000, ticks all the boxes.Does your lad just ride at knockhill or he dosen't come further south at all If he did I pop along and offer my support. So what you riding now Peter?
Yes I got one (take it your talking about the latest version), I think its great use mine a lot for superbikes.

For a zoom its steller, its not as good as the 300mm f2.8 but you wouldn't expect it to. Had the old 300mm f4 at one time and I think for what I've used it for it as good at least. If you happy with the F5.6 at 400mm i dont think you can go wrong.
Anyone got one. Is it any good?
Cheers
Get yourself the kirk foot it's amazing in comparison, this lens is the one I really regret selling it was so versatile and blisteringly fast autofocusComing into this late. I had the older Nikon 80 400 AF VR lens and have been using it for wildlife and aviation photography. I went into Calumet Drummond Street today and picked up the newer version. After just a few initial shots the pictures seem sharper and the AF is certainly faster. The tripod foot is dreadful, what were Nikon thinking ?.
I generally use it on a D3 body, but have also just purchased a D810, so looking forward to trying it on that.
