Everything in the purchase suits, a very necessary product.

Production photography is where I put it to use. BelAZ filmed from 600m. The video came off really well, and on the FR 400, the stub really goes off with a bang! It still smears at large tricks, and the polluted air is most likely to blame for this behavior on your part. It is difficult for an individual to purchase on their own.

That's great! c Camera lenses

Well I've only had this lens a day but I'll give my opinion on it. I first bought it from a CameraLens seller and the lens was exactly as they described. I decided to pay the extra $40 because everything was included (box, hood, tripod mount, etc.) and they didn't disappoint. The lens is very cool. Excellent build. Metal. And difficult. The hard part is both good and bad. It's great because you can feel the quality when you hold it in your hands, but it makes it a little more difficult to shoot

Pros
  • Compact lightweight 5x telephoto lens

Explosion per dollar after recent price drop

As the dedicated photography enthusiast of my life, I've waited a long time for this lens to drop below the $1,500 mark and finally on Nikon I was close to announce their new AF-S successor, the price dropped even further and I was lucky enough to get it direct from Revain for the incredibly low price of $1348. This gave me an incredibly good lens for Florida wildlife hunting and any other type of photography, including outdoor portraits and landscapes. Unlike its successor, this lens has an…

Amazing lens! - Camera lenses

I read all the reviews and I had mixed feelings about choosing this lens. The biggest complaint came from users who said the focus was too slow. It all depends on which Nikon DSLR you are going to use. I bought this lens for a fraction of the cost of the latest AF-S lens. I paid $995 for the refurbished lens, not $2695 for the AF-S version! This has given it space on my new D7100 and the focus suits my work well. On the D7100 (or my D300s) it's 120mm vs 600mm and if I set the D7100 to the 1.3x…

Pros
  • Three ED glass elements for excellent optical performance
Cons
  • Not bad, but...
