    Cons: It is a bit front heavy and the focus ring is not ideally placed. Minimum focusing distance quite long (see Canon) Autofocus needs sometime encouragement to back to infinity Autofocus can be slow

    Pros: Fantastic image quality, Especially on D500 Excellent build Good magnification ratio Stabilization is beyond reproach. Bokeh is the best I had on a zoom

    Summary: Have taken > 40,000 pictures , mostly of fast insects and other animals, but also used at motor sport and other events. The first model dropped and was ruined by a clumsy workshop in San José (CR) Bought another one after 18 months of 200-500 and never regretted it. This web site saved me from buying a 2nd hand 180-400, the sample photos are no better than my 200-400. (apart from corners on D3x)

    Cons: Heavy, needs monopod

    Pros: very sharp, great range, works with the D3s as a perfect package.

    Summary: I have used this lens with a D3s every chance I get both for indoor and outdoor rodeos. I have used it indoors with strobes and available light and it is now my main lens, haven't used my 300 f2.8 in a year. It is an amazing lens sharp wide open.
