dooleyusace's Full Review: Nikon Nikkor VR 80-400mm f/4.5-5.6D ED Lens
This is simply a superb lens for daylight sports photography or other telephoto applications. OK, at f/4.5 to 5.6, this is not a lens to shoot night sports with. But neither is it a $5-6,000 lens like Nikon's fixed focus f/2.8 versions. The VR feature makes it easily hand holdable all the way out to the 400mm end of the range. It's auto focus speed is rather slow, but it's accurate. Optical quality is outstanding. I have used this lens for youth sports photography, sun sets and other applications requiring a long lens. If you have a lens limited to 200mm or less, this is the next logical step out to the long end. BTW, a good monopod helps both for shooting and to prop this heavy lens on between shots.
