    Buy this lens. It will get you into new photographic milestones in wildlife and you will be grateful. I have used this lens for over two weeks now. Bought it the moment stock was in. I am comparing it with the Nikon 70-200 VR2 and 80-400GVRED (latest).I am also posting some photos directly here. It has one of the best returns on investment in quality, built and ergonomics.

I love that this lens is 5.6 through all it’s zoom range and the focus is extremely sharp and quick for my needs. I rated this lens 5 starts when I first used it and I…
