    Fantastic Lens!!!
    5 Stars
    Fantastic Lens!!!
    I just received this lens today, and ran some samples on my D7100, giving me an effective focal length of 450mm. All shots are HANDHELD, including that of the moon!First ImpressionsSo far, this lens has met and actually exceeded my expectations. I'll update this after a few more days of testing, but I can tell you right now that I'm really pleased with the weight and the almost INSTANTANEOUS focus. It's so quick, that your only indication that it's happening is that you can now see the target sharply. Amazing!The VR is excellent, but I think Tamron's VC may edge it out for effectiveness. I have a Tamron 70-200 and a 15-30, both of which exhibit amazing steadiness. When I use the Tamron 70-200, I get 300mm effective on the D7100, but it's rock-solid steady. I rented and tested the Tamron 150-600, and the VC is the same on them as the other two, so while the Nikkor handles things really well, but there's a clear difference.Updates after a few more tests on both my D7100 and my D750, so stay tuned. :)****************UPDATE 11/14/16****************Added a November 2016 supermoon photo. This lens is fantastic! I'm going to include a link to my SmugMug photography tests - the first two albums are with this lens on a D7100 and a D750. So far I only had one minor issue - a bird shot I was taking ended up hunting a lot. However... the bird was in shadow on a branch. Once I used the branch, it was perfect - but for some reason, it was constantly hunting on the bird itself. I'm going to assume that has more to do with a lack of contrast and color (the bird was shaded) on the D7100 focusing formula, than the lens itself.For some reason, the only picture showing now is the last picture I posted - no idea why. If you want to see all the test pictures I've shot wit this lens (or others), just go to mercerpics.smugmug .com and choose the category"Photography Tests". You'll see the various pictures in albums named for the lens in question. Sorry about that!Excellent experience. I'll update again if there's more to say. :)******************************3/24/17 Update******************************After much consideration and research, I bought the Nikon 1.4 III multiplier to extend the reach of this lens - it now yields 420mm and 630mm on my D750 and D7100, respectively. Having said that... I had to do some auto-focus fine tuning. Once that was done, I ran some comparison tests for clarity and sharpness, keeping in mind that my wide-open aperture was now F/5.6 instead of F/4.OUTSTANDING, STELLAR RESULTS. Let me just say that this lens is really, really, really worth the price, as steep as it may be - and the 1.4 multiplier works so well on the lens, I simply don't take it off now. :)This will likely be my final update, but I will respond to questions, should anyone have them. :)
