This is the Lightest reasonably priced version of this ULTRA SWEET lens. The Type II AFs is lighter than the G version and alot lighter than the AFs Type 1. The newest version from Nikon is OVER $12 Grand so this lens represents the sweet spot in 600mm lenses. Superb sharpness and excellent speed, a real plus for a pro sports photographer. Well constructed and rides a monopod well this lens performs to the high standards af all of todays cameras, yet still has the aperture ring for use with video or old film cameras. I recommend changing to a wimberley or RRS mount though as the Nikon one is not perfect and a bit too tall. Tripod OR Mono Pod is a MUST.

The Nikon 600mm F4 telephoto lens is probably the Cadillac of telephoto lenses. Standing at over seventeen inches in length (25 inches with both lens hoods attached), and costing anywhere from $6,000.00 to $9,000.00, this lens is not for your average shutterbug. The fast F4 apeture makes this the perfect lens of sports and wildlife photographers. This is the type of lens you see on the sidlines at professional sports games. Along with the fast F4 apeture Nikon's "Silent Wave" focusing delivers fast, super quiet response even in low light. terms such as "as fast and quiet as Nikon's AF-S model" are often heard by reviewers when examining and compairing other manufacturers lenses. So, if youv'e always wanted to get really close to the subject your'e shooting and are truly ready to make a serious commitment to your craft, this is the lens for you.Read full review
This lens is big and heavy but produces some of the most amazing imiqges I’ve ever made. I’ve shot a lot with other telephoto zooms and the reaction and image quality I get from this blows me away by comparison. This is definitely a “wow” lens! At least that’s typically the reaction I get when people see the images.

So far so good. One ( worse)thing is hard to hold for hand held. Image quality is awesome. Thanks.
