Nikon Camera Lens Review 2Nikon Camera Lens, Nikon Digital Camera Lens Reviews Go to Nikon Camera Lens Reviews Part 1 Nikon Camera Lens #4: Nikon 400mm f/2.8G IF-ED AF-S VR
The Nikon 400mm f/2.8G IF-ED AF-S VR doubles the focal length of the 200mm and makes it into the super telephoto category that most wildlife photographers enjoy. Although it isn't the top of its category, the 400mm is designed to be a stable and speedy performer with emphasis on its anti-vibration features. The Vibration Reduction alone lets users take shots using settings that are four shutter speeds slower than usually used to achieve sharper image quality. Since this will most likely be used in a tripod, there is a special detection mode that reduces the vibration even further. Like other telephoto models, the Silent Wave Motor is implemented giving it higher power in doing fast autofocus operations while preserving the accuracy and keeping it running with no sound at all. The three Extra-low Dispersion elements play their role by controlling chromatic aberrations, improving color, contrast, and sharpness no matter what aperture settings are used. Along with the Nano Crystal Coat, image quality is enhanced even further by reducing ghosting and flare. Strong people can bare hold the lens making it lightweight for a 400mm weighing at about 148 ounces. The heavy $8,500 price tag though shows that this is one lens for the serious photographer, but the impressive results really show that it is worth every penny.

Getting both the 200mm f/2G ED-IF AF-S VR and 400mm f/2.8G IF-ED AF-S VR may be necessary for their own separate occasions.The cost for those two together will already exceed $10,000. This is where the Nikon 200-400mm f/4G ED-IF AF-S VR comes in, because it is offered for just about $5,500. It is the first of its kind to hit the market accomplishing the tough feat of combining four of the best fixed focal length telephoto lenses into one high power zoom that is surprisingly compact. It is good for taking shots that need excellent timing because of the two VR modes that allow subjects that have extreme movement to be taken with very high precision. When the photographer is panning, the lens automatically detects it as well. To maintain the quality close to the primes, 4 Extra-low Dispersion glass elements are used to put the chromatic aberration to a minimum and yield higher resolution and greatly improved contrast. Not only is the overall image quality good for its purposes, but the metal body is close to indestructible and the layout of the functions is accessible. Carrying this around can be tiring, but it is much better than carrying two prime lenses that handle these focal lengths.
