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

Date of Review:  May 5, 2005
The Bottom Line: Conditionally recommended for amateur use, not professional. Slow focus, no internal zoom, small minimum apertures, not as sharp as Nikkor f2.8 zooms or telephotos, durability questionable.
Review: Introduction

The requirements of a recent assignment sent me looking for something longer than the end of my Nikon AF 80-200mm 2.8D ED zoom lens. The low-end 70-300mm Nikkors have noticeably inferior image quality, speed, and build quality...

Expected Quality from Nikon

Date of Review:  Nov 20, 2006
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.
Review: Yes, we expect quality from Nikon and get it here with the 80-400. But there are enough mixed reviews out there from people who just don't know enough to write a proper review, so let's address that first.

1) The 80-400 is NOT FAST GLASS...

Recommended to buy: Yes

Pros
Great quality optics, small and easy...
Cons
Slower optics and focusing, not cheap...
 

Yes, you can take action shots at 400mm without a tripod too.

Date of Review:  Dec 2, 2002
The Bottom Line: Wide zoom range, great optics, good vibration Reduction, produces crisp pictures of nature or action. This lens is cool so you'll also produce great "lens envy" to your fellow shutterbugs.
Review: The pros and cons I mention sum it up: This lens is heavy, especially with the tripod collar attached. It is lighter than other 400mm long lenses, however. The zoom is a little stiff; the focus ring is smooth and silky. This lens has an easy way to...
