Rated 5 out of 5 stars by 50 users at B&H Photo Video

"I love this lens. I use this with my D300 because of the 1.5 crop factor, (now a 300-600mm) and use my D3 with the 70-200mm for closer shots at the zoo."

"A/F is fast and accurate and the resolution is eye-popping. I shoot hummingbirds and dragon flies in flight and the detail is outstanding."

"Very heavy at about the same weight as the 500MM"
