p.1 #1 · p.1 #1 · Nikon's old AF-S 400 f4 VR


I prefer it slightly stopped down to f5-f5.6 (at it's very sweetest)
Insanely fast and accurate AF...check.
Ability to crop like a 'monkey...check.
So, what's not to love
Offed my TC-14E II that resided on the AF-S 300 f4 (now use TC-17E II 24/7/356)
Returned the AF-S 80-400 VR that lived at 400. IQ fell apart real quick for what/how I shoot.
So...if you have a Chub in your bag, consider this your wake-up call. Revisit da combo. Now!

Field tweaked the fine tune this am in mixed light. Handhelds SOOC, last is a 100% crop
of a freakin' Jpeg. Oh, Mommy!!.

Hiya, Laura. Thank you kindly. I'm SO impressed with this combo. Seems every time
I go out...it shows me a little something more on the D800. Gotta love THAT.

Appreciate it, Twistmeister! We've had virtually no Winter, so I was thrilled to see some
clouds roll in the last couple of days. I'll see what I can do with some peek-a-boo sun ops. for ya!

Hola Graeme! Well into a growler of Malpais Stout (GABF Silver Medal '12) I have a kayak I'm not using...
We've been in a severe drought for the last couple of years, might be willing to trade ya for a month or two.

TM, be glad to send a few trainloads of snow! Any more and I will need snowshoes for the car! If there are ANY sandhills at Jasper Pulaski they are neck deep in the snow.
As always a great set of photos.

Wouldn't that be nice if there was a native 400 f/4. Nikon would probably charge as much for it as the 200 f/2 if not more.....nice shots Will.
