The Nikon 80-400mm VR f/4.5-5.6 has some significant limitations.

by jvandegr , May 5, 2005
Pros: Acceptable image quality at most apertures, VR works well in most circumstances.
Cons: Small minimum apertures, image quality not great, slow autofocus, minor durability issues, not best value.

Expected Quality from Nikon

by sailingshot , Nov 20, 2006
Pros: Great quality optics, small and easy handling, great reach and VR.
Cons: Slower optics and focusing, not cheap to buy!
The Bottom Line: Buy it if you need it. It loses a star because of the focusing, but that's arguable depending on application. This is a 1st rate lens.
This reviewer recommends this product.
