Just to let the cat among the pigeons, we have to remember with all of these lenses there is sample variation.  Some may say it's not relevant, I think it's a very important consideration when ...

Geomaticsman, interesting you mention 400/4 the current Canon version has virtually off the scale optical performance,  outstandingly  epic sharp from wide open!

Having owned 2x Nikon 400mm f2.8 fl lenses (the first was faulty),  I can confirm it's as good as any lens can be re optical performance etc, question for you is how much do you need it?  If you ...

Well said sir, honesty should be the default for reviewers.

I hate to be negative but honestly, all the hype was not justified in my opinion.  Autofocus learning, bs, all over the world and for a very long time photographers have been creating amazing ...

This was a really interesting and helpful summary. You sure got some fantastic photos on your recent trip, thanks very much for sharing them and your thoughts re the lens. Sigma seem to ...

Really appreciate you sharing this as mainstream reviews have been very thin on the ground thus far.  I am considering the Sigma instead of the latest Nikon 70-200f2.8fl which in many tests proves ...

Seems this newest Sigma lens is mighty sharp, has great VR and stunning bokeh, thanks to 11 diaphragm blades, should have provided excellent results with *9* fld lens elements, here's a link to ...

Just checked with WEX Norwich, they have the Canon fit in stock, still no word on Nikon fit availability , the guy I spoke with said they will be expecting it hopefully early in the new year!   ...

Thanks a bunch for sharing this , most interesting.

curious if anyone has any views on Nikon replacing the current 300mmf2.8 vrII. The current lens is a fantastic performer but is eight or nine years old, most of the other Nikon long primes have ...

Because it means I've discovered your excellent photo blog on your website. I am enjoying your photos very much and learning about your photographic exploits. all the best. cheers tony(UK).

Hi Guys, Thread removed. cheers tony.

I said maybe, I didn't state they would be at the top of the game, I'm being hopeful.

My main hope is that Nikon don't make their new camera with tiny form factor like many of the other mirrorless cameras currently available. Most people here probably remember when there was a race ...

why do I keep reading that when the Nikon mirrorless comes it will be at least a couple of years behind the Sony offerings regarding features and abilities, how can people be saying this? No one ...

Moose tells it how he sees it, not how he thinks others would like him to respond, that's important and something we should accept. I've followed him for most of his career and enjoy hearing what ...

Hi, You haven't mentioned which Nikon body you are experiencing this problem with. I have noticed with my Nikon D500 in particular the focus system is so sensitive that often it rarely settles on ...

Hi Bill, I guess for some people mediocre is good enough, hey ho, it's their loss. It is very annoying though when people can't be bothered to read an article properly before jumping to ...

Have to agree with Steve on this and Bill I think you feel the same way too. For those who don't get the difference, or refuse to accept the points Steve is making, perhaps they are the people whom ...
