I’ve had this lens a few years now as well as a few primes and the 80-200 F/2.8 AFS zoom.
The good:
It’s rather lightweight compared to the set of lenses it replaces. But much heavier than a compact with a very powerful zoom.
The vibration reduction works quite well.
Distortion is low.
Flare is rather low.
Very sharp wide open from 80mm to about 200mm, pretty good to 300m.
The less good:
The aperture is not that wide, but heck, it’s small.
At 400mm you really need to stop down to f/11 to get maximal sharpness and even then it’s clearly not sharp as my 400mm prime.
The design seems a little dated as a recent Sony zoom of the same range is said to be noticeably sharper (but wont fit on Nikon cameras!).
The autofocus is rather slow.
Some people say the zoom is quite stiff. This is quite an advantage when you point it upwards, because this prevents creep.
So when I want to make poster sized pictures of some architectural detail I know about beforehand I bring my prime. When I’m on holiday and I want to have it light
I use this one.
