400mm · f/2.8
The Nikon AF-S Nikkor 400mm f/2.8E FL ED VR is a significant upgrade over its predecessor, praised for outstanding sharpness and excellent performance with teleconverters. Its lighter weight (3.8 kg) improves handling, though it remains large. The lens suits sports, wildlife, and action photographers needing fast f/2.8 aperture and versatile focal lengths via teleconverters. Weaknesses include high cost and bulk, but the weight reduction is a key improvement.
