Nikon 80-400mm f/4.5-5.6 ED AF VR

Nikon’s do-it-all telephoto zoom with excellent 3 stop vibration reduction system. Reasonable size and VR allows it to be handheld with excellent results in decent light. The lens has the reputation of being a bit slow to autofocus compared to AF-S lenses, but otherwise is considered excellent.

D40/60 owners, please consult your manual to double check compatibility with this lens.

Roger’s take: OK, its not the very best lens in Nikon’s toolbox. But its just so darn useful – its a great range, reasonably sharp all the way to the long end, not to heavy to carry all day. Yes, I can’t wait to see it upgraded, but until then its still very good. I do NOT recommend using a teleconverter with this lens. Yes, I know some people do, but you won’t be happy with the shots. Promise.
