Solid build quality, Not overly weighty, Very good performance,
Not a constant-aperture zoom, A little lacking in reach, Pricey to buy,
This pro-grade Nikon super-telephoto zoom is a massively improved over the original ‘AF' lens which had dreadfully slow autofocus and relatively ineffective optical stabilization. The ‘AF-S' edition puts that to rights with speedy ring-type ultrasonic aut...

Strong sharpness through most of range, Long telephoto reach, Optical stabilization, Minimal distortion, Relatively lightweight, Includes tripod collar and hood
Sharpness dips at 400mm and toward edges of frame, Pricey
The Nikon AF-S Nikkor 80-400mm f/4.5-5.6G ED VR lens offers the convenience of a long range and doesn't show a lot of distortion, but images lose some crispness when zoomed all the way in...
good quality casing, very good image quality in the frame centre, no matter what focal length you employ, good image quality on the edge of the APSC sensor, slight chromatic aberration, lack of spherical aberration problems, imperceptible distortion, good
image quality on the edge of full frame should have been better, too many flares and too low contrast during the work against bright light.
Without any doubts the Nikkor AF-S 80–400 mm f/4.5–5.6G ED VR is optically a good lens with a very good autofocus and simply ensational image stabilization. It won't provide such sharp images as those you can get from the Canon EF 100–400 mm f/4.5–5.6L IS...
