Nikon NIKKOR 80-400mm f/4.5-5.6G ED VR II Review

Nikon AF-S NIKKOR 80-400mm f/4.5-5.6G ED VR Verdict

Nikon camera owners have been crying out for an update to the 80-400mm lens for an age, and now it's here it proves itself to be worth the wait.

It delivers crisp images, focuses swiftly and is a pleasure to use. In fact it is such a joy to use that the £2200 asking price almost becomes insignificant. I said almost, as it's still a fair amount of cash to part with.

The NIKKOR 80-400mm f/4.5-5.6G ED VR delivers excellent sharpness with fast silent focusing.
