Would like to hear from Nikonites on their experiences with this lens, more specifically on the following topics:
Thanks in advance! I'm trying to see if there are any use cases that might justify acquiring the lens, and hoping not to add a big paperweight to my lens collection! So, yes, if you bought one and didn't get much use out of it, that would be helpful to know as well!
- Utility for nature photography (birding, wildlife, etc.)
- Utility for sports photography (kid's soccer games and other non-professional use)
- Astrophotography
- What TCs work best with the lens? How well does it work with a modified TC-16a for pseudo AF?
- Can the lens be used for macro (for insects), say with an extension tube or other add-on?
- How does the lens perform at wider apertures 2.8-5.6? Specifically, is CA an issue?
- Is handholding feasible at all in real world use? What about monopod?
