Nikon AF-S NIKKOR 400mm f/2.8E FL ED VR Lens Review
Nikon AF-S NIKKOR 400mm f/2.8E FL ED VR Verdict
It is almost as if with this lens, Nikon wanted to prove what they can do, if money were no object. This lens performs so well that it is very difficult to find fault with anything aspect of the lens, except for the price. It is amazingly sharp from maximum aperture, focuses extremely quickly, and is relatively lightweight for a lens of this focal length and aperture. If you have the need for a 400mm, and have a spare £10k knocking about under your mattress, or can find this available for hire, then you'll simply not find a better 400mm lens.
