B&H Photo Video

Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars by 23 users at B&H Photo Video

"Not only was I looking for superior zoom (the kind that gets a full picture of the animal at 30+ feet away), but also something durable (aka not cheap plastic)."

"Although extremely well constructed this lens is not all that heavy for a zoom 400 (36oz) which is important since I am hiking in the backwoods all time and every ounce helps."

"I had to manually focus as the auto focus takes forever in low light. It is much slower than a UDM lense at all times and hunts quite a lot in low light."
