Very good lens if you take the time to learn how to use it correctly. Ignore reviews of people having delivery problems, which is the reason this lens only has 4 stars so far.

I didn't want to wait and now I wish I had. I am using this lens with my D90 to take nature photos. I like to photograph birds and dragonflies and wanted to get this lens for the extra reach it would have over my 75 - 300mm lens. Like other reviewers have commented, it is noisy and slow compared to my other lens. I'm just an amateur and so I depend on the autofocus. It is hard to get this lens to focus on a flying bird and it goes out of focus faster than it goes into focus. It doesn't do well with low contrast and small subjects. It seems to hesitate between shots of a moving object. It does get closer, but I haven't gotten a shot yet that I would say made this lens worth the money I spent in buying it. At times it doesn't communicate with the camera and I have to take the lens off, rotate a ring and then replace the lens. I might have to do this twice before it works because it gives 2 different error messages that require me to rotate the ring in the opposite direction. It is a lot heavier than my 75 - 300mm lens. Because the extension is made of metal, it seems to retain the cold from inside, so that when I go outside, the lens fogs worse than my other lens. If you're impatient like me, then you will probably go ahead and buy this model since there is no telling when the newer model will be produced. If you aren't taking action photos or of small objects, then you might really like this lens.

This is a very good lens with the Nikon quality as expected. It produces sharp crisp pictures - reference D300 camera and is easy to use. The weight and size of the lens may not be for everyone for day to day use.
If you are looking for a good lens to add to your kit, this is an excellent choice.

The optical and mechanical quality of this lens is nothing short of fantastic. I have been very pleased with the results of this lens. Great sharpness and nice contrast. The lens is a bit heavy but the VR allows one to hand hold it with impressive results even at 400mm. If you need the extra reach of 400mm, this lens will not disappoint you.

In the early spring and into the summer, I spend most of my spare time working on a raptor nesting program. I look for the nests of various birds of prey, (hawks, eagles, falcons, and owls) gps their positions and photograph the adult and young. To get a better image of these beautiful birds I bought the Nikon 80-400mm lens. I haven't been disappointed. I get good sharp hand held photos, thanks to the VR capability. It is a little slow on the focus but nothing to stop me from getting some great shots of bird sitting and in flight.
