A good lens but not the best in this range
Not all lenses can be top notch winners and I must admit this is one of them, don't get me wrong when it was introduced it was a decent lens but it has it's short comings to todays VR2 companions.
Lets cover the positives in that this lens for it's focal length is very compact and light when used at the 80mm length and the lens collar and shoe works great to rotate the lens mounted to a tripod and still to get a portrait style view all you do is loosen the lens collar knob and rotate the lens with body mounted on the lens axis.
The Lens is very sharp in most of it's range but you need a good steady hand or tripod that is robust to keep vibration to a bare minimum, and in manual focus can create Tack Sharp images.
The 9 radial shaped aperture leaves create a decent Bokeh when shooting at more wide open aperture settings and also eliminate those harsh spiked light bursts when shooting in the city at night.
Overall I think it has good operation qualities that keeps it in my arsenal of lenses but my concerns in todays Nikkor Line up is that a VR2 version of this would be great as well as on board auto focus instead of using the camera body to focus it would speed up it's reaction to fast action sport shooting, then take the mechanical Auto Focus cut out ring to place the lens into manual focus is cumbersome and slow to activate compared to the micro slide switches on more up to date lens barrels.
I have replaced the stock Lens collar shoe mount with an after market one from Really Right Stuff and this has also made the lens more ridged on a tripod but this is a minor fix to a good lens.
I would like to see this lens equipped with there Nano Crystal coated lens to cut flare down in brightly lit arenas.
All in all it is still a good lens but improvements would turn this into a great lens and I would rather see this in an f/4 across the focal length and it takes a little practice with this lens but it is a good cary lens for sports, nature and some landscape photography, if you have a source locally that rent's lenses I would recommend you trying this out for a weekend to see what it will produce, it has a great focal length span that will cover a vast array of needs for the price, and team this up with a 24-70mm and you can have bare minimum equipment that you will need to traverse a days shooting experience without lugging around extra equipment.

Tiger Picture
The 80-400 is no spring chicken. My 18-200 runs circles around it 9 times out of 10. Most snaps with the 80-400 are not too good, but 1 in 10 is sharper than sharp. Stopped down to f/8 i don't think you can get much better for color and contrast, at least on my D7000.
That one of ten is good for a lot of mega pixels, probably a lot more than the 16 mp of the 7000 DX.

A good lens but a bit overpriced.
After reading all the reviews,pro & con,I decided to give it a try. At first I was dissapointed & almost sent it back. It is slow focusing & at first I had trouble with sharpness, but I kept at it.
Handheld,you need a fast shutter speed, at least
1/400 @ 400mm,preferably faster.
Turn off the VR on a tripod period ! get used to the "Auto-Manual focus ring" I don't like it. Use the focus limiter & in dificult situations,use manual focus.
Its a good lens, not great. It has it quirks. I will keep mine.

Excellent ... but
Excellent range and versatility. Heavy but handholdable. That weight as well as the price would lead you to believe that it contained an auto-focus motor. But no. Thus it won't auto focus when used on the "amateur-tier" cameras, many which have many fine features that should work well with such a versatile lens. An HD movie with an 80-200 on a D5100 would be fantastic, except the lens won't auto focus. Been awaiting an upgrade to AF-S.
June 23, 2011
Good overall.
I hesitantly bought this lens knowing that it (from reading reviews) was slow and needed good light. I like good light no matter what lens I'm using so I decided to give it a try. Well, I have used it for about three weeks now and must say that I am really liking it! Very sharp pictures, especially from a tripod, but even hand held I am happy with the results. I've panned birds a couple of times with good results. It is large but very manageable even hand holding. (I am a female in my early 60s and I can handle it okay.) If you are looking for a lens with more zoom and this is in your price range, I don't think you will be disappointed. I am very excited to get out and use it more and I would definitely recommend it.
May 30, 2011
I just recently purchased this lens and am very excited about it. I have photographed wildlife and a High School track meet all hand held up to 400mm and had great results. I'm sure it will be even better with a tripod or monopod.
April 15, 2011
This product needs to be updated
I believe that this lens is underappreciated because most people do not know how to use it properly. Having said that, it is long overdue for an updating. AFS, nanocoating and VRII would be nice additions. I would really like to see something like a 100-500 focal length lens. It could even be a fixed f5.6.

Auto Focus Is Slow
This is a fairly lightweight lens for a 400mm zoom telephoto. I have two issues, however. Autofocus is a bit slow and there is some color distortion at full range. Otherwise it is a good buy and works as a [heavy] hand-held.
April 14, 2011
Great lens for shooting kids sports games. A bit heavy, but the autofocus is very quick - pictures look sharp. Only other drawback is that its not an f-2.8.
April 14, 2011
Good value
I've had the 80-400 for several years and use it mostly for surfing shots, mostly in good light. It is used with a D90 and D700 (still waiting for pre-ordered D7000 to replace my DX body). I shoot jpeg at higher ISO and high shutter speeds, hand-held. Results are more than acceptable to me...you can see individual water drops/globs and sunlight refracting them from 150+ yards away.
Surfers move quickly in all planes. I use the limiter and the lens is quick enough to keep focus.
I haven't had any problem with the lens. It is portable, dependable and produces good photos. Yes, you'll get optimal sharpness and speed with the long telephotos, but it comes with a price (and size) multiple times that of the 80-400.
I also own a third-party super zoom, but much rather prefer the slightly more expensive Nikkor.
Considering the alternatives, this lens strikes an acceptable balance between usefulness and cost.

A very good platform lens
I have used this lens with my D3 for 2 years now and it has the abilities to turn a nature shot from landscape to a detail shot with ease, I use this for nature from wildlife to landscapes side by side with my 70-200 f2.8 and the results are stunning! The VR mode helps for taking sharp handheld shots but I would recommend a good sturdy mono or tri pod to get that extra stable shot.
The rotating tri pod collar is very well made and tight and has index marks that are very visible for re alignment in low light, VR mode is very easy to engage as well as the manual to auto focus mode selector, and adding a TC-201 teleconverter to this brings this lens into a great operating platform to hike into the wilderness with limited accessories needed to have a great day of photo shooting and you will be amazed at what it will do when taking photos of a full moon.
September 24, 2010
At lot of power
This lens has a lot of punch! Although it can be a little slow on the focus sometimes you can't beat it for the price and sharp picture quality! I recommend this lens for anyone who can't pay $5,900 for a 300mm 2.8 or $9,500 for a 400mm 2.8 telephoto lens. I've used it with both a D700 and D200 with great results on both and I don't need to use it with a mono-pod or tri-pod!
I don't recommend it with a teleconverter as some of the picture quality is lost and it becomes slower on auto-focus. If you need a little more distance and the auto-focus working it works with a Kenko 1.4 teleconverter and you should atleast on a mono-pod.

Good sharpness for stationary wildlife and objects
The autofocus is way to slow for action photography. Nikon desperately need to update this lense to AF_S.
August 2, 2010
Gives you the close-up you need!
It gives you the close-up you need when it's really not physically possible. I used it on graduations held in a football field where everybody is only allowed to sit on the bleachers. The school have their own contract photographers and they want us to buy their own not-so-good photos shot by rookies. Well I used my trusty old D-70. Yes, you heard me right- a D70! I had the ISO set at 800 because it's getting dark. I had the lens set in active mode VR and fire away from the bleacher. My niece, nephews and brothers are so happy with the way the pictures came out. They're much better than the photos the school is trying to sell us. The 80-400mm may not be a Speedy Gonzales compared to the AFS lenses but with a steady hand they can do the job just as well. Also try not to use the hood attachement if you can, they attract too much attention. This site could have been better if we can post some sample shots taken with the product reviewed
August 1, 2010
two shortcomings, but very good overall
I use this lens frequently. The optics are sharp and result in excellent images. The design is compact. The VR works well and allows for handheld shots in low light. It is not fast to focus, but still works well for sports such as soccer where the range can be predicted.
Two shortcomings:
-The mounting collar is inferior to that used on the 70-200 ED VR S zoom.
-The addition of the silent-wave focusing would be a plus.
August 1, 2010
Great lens, but due for an update
I have been using this lens for several years. It has limitations, but knowing these limitations this lens can capture great images. However, this lens is well overdue for an upgrade to AF-S.
July 31, 2010
Good lens for the price
I have owned this lens for over 2 years and use it quite successfully for nature photography. The weight is acceptable considering the range of the lens. Although specialized for certain things, it provides the quality for the price and is extremely useful for certain uses. I do recommend this lens and have to photography friends.
July 30, 2010
except for slow autifocus, a great lense
image quality and vr are very good. However, the autofocus is painfully slow for action photography. Nikon desperately need to update this lense to AF_S.
July 30, 2010
I like the lens but want more
This lens does a good job for nature photography. Sharp images from 80 to 400. I mostly use it at 400. I wish it had AF/S like my 18-200. I wish it had an over ride focus ring like my 18-200.
It's really out of date. I would replace it with a 100-400 or 100-500 in a second.
July 30, 2010
Reasonably sharp, great range, slow to focus, VR is only good to about 1-2 stops, but for the price is definitely worthwhile to own.
July 30, 2010
Good Lens
As with most Nikkor lenses, this is a very good lens. Just one caution - tripod your shots - they come out MUCH better.
All-in-all... a good piece of glass from Nikon !
July 30, 2010
Wonderful photos with a great zoom!
Pros: Great photos, versatile, great zoom range, VR feature is fantastic, good features.
Cons: Heavy
I combine it with my 17-35mm zoom and my older 35-70mm zoom when I am out shooting.
July 30, 2010
still lens
This lens is super sharp. Now don't be fooled this is NO action lens, it will blur you consistently. The AF is very slow.
September 24, 2011
Decent Pictures But Slow
As with most Nikon optics this lens produces nice photos that are sharp, well exposed and have great color. The problem is that it such an old version that it has the old AF system which is very slow. I use it for bird and wildlife photography along with a D300 body and it is many times to slow to capture a moving subject, especially in low light. I"m desperately awaiting an upgrade to an AF-S model which is way overdue. I just can't afford the 200-400 at over 6,000 dollars.
April 15, 2011
It is a good lens, sharp but very slow focusing.
It would be an ideal lens for bird in flight shooting but cannot focus fast enough. On occasion the focusing will jam and refuse to focus until you take it off a subject anf aim at other subjects near and far. .
April 15, 2011
Great Lens, Poor Execution
shooting kids action sports requires a lens that is capable of a wide range of zoom lengths with good optics. The Nikkor 80-400mm looked like the perfect lens. Granted the f/stop range was rather limited and it does not lend itself to low light photography but with most of the sports I shoot being during the day I accepted that limitation. When the lens arrived I was excited to try it out. Almost from the very moment I pressed the shutter I was disappointed. The auto-focus motor on this lens is *EXTREMELY* slow. It requires the photographer to anticipate the action and even then you will end up with as many out of focus shots as in focus if the action is fast. With each new announcement by Nikon I keep my fingers crossed that a replacement for this lens will be announced that overcome the weaknesses of this lens but so far Nikon has shown no inclination to upgrade this lens which is now over a decade old. When in focus the photos from this lens are great, you just need to accept that the auto-focus may not be able to keep up with your shooting needs.
April 14, 2011
Decent lens...
Decent lens, but can be a little too soft in certain situations.
April 14, 2011
Some Resevations.
The first one of these I recieved locked up and would not work. After some research and persisitence I returned it and it was quickly replaced with a new one. Excellent support and responce. I was very happy. The one I got and have kept works well--- except if you are zoomed all the way in to 400mm it will not auto focus. If you back out just a touch say 398mm it works fine. Why??? I don't know. I did not not want to go through returning it a second time . I have learned to just deal with it.
July 31, 2010
Good Optically, Slow focusing and stiff zoom
I've used this lens for a couple of years now and while I've been happy with the optical performance the slow screwdriver autofocus is out dated makes this lens unsuitable for photographing most moving targets. Other negatives - the zoom control is extremely stiff and after a day at an airshow your wrist will ache!
The zoom range of 80-400 is superb for aircraft photography!
I've been waiting patiently for Nikon to upgrade this lens to an AF-S configuration with high speed focusing but unfortunately I'm going to have to look at changing brands and buy the lens and camera most used by keen aircraft photographers - the Canon 100-400 F4.5/5.6 IS offers the high speed focusing, newer VR all at a price comparable to the 80-400.
July 30, 2010
Good, but not perfect
Overall, I like the lens, but there are definitely things about it that I don't like:
.
* It's not crisp when focusing at infinity. The shots I take at its highest focal length (near 400mm) are marginal, but usable.
* The helpfulness of the vibration reduction is debatable. When I'm shooting indoors in a quiet room (say, in the back of an auditorium during a speech), often times, the VR is too noisy and distracting to the other people around me, and I have to switch it off. The camera feels slower when I'm using the VR, too, as if it has too many calculations to perform. When I need to rapid fire in order to capture a moment, most often, it's best to turn off the VR. Moreover, when using the VR, I can't really see any improvement in picture quality.
* The rubber zoom ring has come completely loose on my lens. I've had the lens for over four years, though, so it's understandable that this could happen.
* The belt loop of the pouch that came with the lens tore after a few months of use. I've been using another company's belt pouch ever since with no problems, so I've never gotten the original one repaired.
.
I should also mention that I originally purchased another company's version of this same lens, but didn't like it at all, and traded it in for the Nikon. I'm glad I did; Nikon's version of this lens is definitely more solidly constructed than its competitor's.
.
Despite its shortcomings, I'd still recommend this lens. It has a good range of focal lengths for a relatively reasonable price. I've found that it is sufficient for covering just about any sporting event as the action moves closer to and farther from me.

Answer:
I will not suggest use any teleconverter to the lens with aperture 1/5.6, because all AF sensors on Nikon SLR and DSLR are limited with aperture 1/5.6.With 1.4X teleconverter aperture of that lens will change from 1/5.6 to 1/8
With 2.0X teleconverter aperture of that lens will change from 1/5.6 to 1/11
As more bigger aperture changes as more slow and not accuracy will be AF and in low light conditions it will be too bad.

Answer:
I am very sorry, but Staff answer is not correct at all.You can use this lens, but AF will be limited only in very low light situation, where with standard lenses you usually need to use AF assist illuminator function.
And the reason why is very simple:
In D50 "TTL phase detection by Nikon Multi-CAM900 autofocus module with AF-assist illuminator have range approximately 0.5–3.0 m / 1´8˝–9´10˝ "(see page 130 (Technical Notice-specifications).
And shooting distance scale for VR Zoom-Nikkor ED 80-400mm f/4.5-5.6D lens "graduated in meters and feet from 2.3m (8 ft) to infinity "(see manual page 21, specification).
So theoretically D50 AF assist illuminator with VR Zoom-Nikkor ED 80-400mm f/4.5-5.6D lens can work only in range 2.3m till 3.0m, if the body of the lens will not block the light from AF assist illuminator.
By the same reason in D50 manual (Page 107) you can find that:
"AF assist is not available with the following lenses:
• AF-S VR ED 70–200 mm f/2.8G
• AF ED 80–200 mm f/2.8D
• AF-S VR ED 200–400 mm f/4G
• AF-S VR 300 mm f/2.8G
• AF-S ED 80–200 mm f/2.8D
• AF VR ED 80–400 mm f/4.5–5.6D
• AF-S VR 200 mm f/2G"
But this lens is not for too low light conditions, where you can not see the object without AF assist illuminator function.
Good luck., I think you will love this lens

Although I do not have any experience with the D5000 body I'm guessing that the issue is that it does not have a focus motor built in. This lens should still work with a body that does not have a focus motor as the motor is built into the lens. The issue of AF vs. AF-S is speed. The old AF system is just slower.Apr 15, 2011 by

Answer:
Nikon offers two types of autofocus digital camera bodies: those with a built-in focus drive motor and those which require a lens to have a motor. Cameras such as the D5000 do not have a focus motor in it so they require the lens to have the focusing motor – an “AF-S” lens. While these bodies can use a lens with no focus motor (an “AF” lens) you would have to manually turn the focus ring to bring the subject in to sharp focus.Has staff answer

Answer:
Theoretically it can happened, if the resolution of the lens is poor,but AF VR Zoom-NIKKOR 80-400mm f/4.5-5.6D ED resolution is very high and with DX camera with the same image size or bigger (I think till 24 MPS) you will only win in details.
On DX format at 400mm this lens will have sharper corners than on FX.
Just take a look on MTF charts for 400mm and keep in mind that the max diameter corner in DX format is ~14,4mm.
Blue broken Meridional line for FX format corner ~0.13,
for DX format ~ 0.5.
That is much, much better.
With this lens on DX format you will win twice: second one - you will be closely to the wildlife, but use D7000 (it is better).
