Testing both lenses on my simple 1951 Air Force target showed some interesting results. For the new AF-S Nikkor 400mm f/2.8E FL ED VR lens, sharpness and contrast were excellent at f/2.8, with not much difference at f/4 or f/5.6, which is a boon to wildlife photographers especially if they use the...
Have you recently won the lottery? Do you like to shoot sports? Nikon's latest flagship 400mm f/2.8 may be for you then. The price of over £10,000 means only lottery winners and large news agencies may be able to justify the cost.
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 costs a lot of money
Today I picked up my new 400 2.8 FL. It came earlier than I expected so I was pleasantly surprised. Once I got it home and took it out of the cool case and held it, wow, that's when it hit me: It is noticeably lighter!
Having rented and now own the lens, it has already proven itself to be an exceptional lens. The weight and balance makes it easy to travel (compared to my 600mm f4), and it provides versitility by paring up with both the 1.4 and 1.7 TCs without problem.
Fantastic performance, sharp, fast, well balanced and works well with the TC 14 III and TC 17. It is everything you would expect in a lens of this price and a major bonus is that it is light enough to handhold all day. I have used it with a D4S and D810 with outstanding results on both bodies.
