Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. What are the compatible drop-in filters?

A: The only compatible filters are the drop in polarizer; https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1128782-REG/nikon_2221_40_5mm_slip_in_circular_polarizing.html and the clear filter that comes with the lens. You can try other brand 40.5mm filters but I cannot guarantee that they will fit due to the different thickness of filter rings.

Q: 2. Is this lens meant to be used only on a tripod?

A: It's POSSIBLE to use it hand-held, but the great majority of people use a monopod or tripod and ideally a gimbal head. Gimbal heads are perfect for this lens. This lens is in a whole different league than the 80-400 or even 200-500 lens. You'll really benefit from the support. Years ago, I took 18,000 photos with the 200-400 f4 lens and D3 (almost identical to the 180-400) - and I took those all hand-held - and for a WEEK after that - I couldn't raise my left arm!!! Right after that I bought my first tripod and gimbal head. You CAN use it hand-held - but you won't really want to. It's not fun.

Q: 3. What is the main reason to own this lens instead of a Nikkor 200-500mm f/5.6E?

A: The main reason for getting the NIKKOR 180-400mm f/4E TC1.4 FL ED VR Lens is that you would get world-class, best possible image quality. The NIKKOR 200-500mm f/5.6E ED VR Lens is very good but is not in the same league. With the NIKKOR 180-400mm, you also get the best possible build quality with one full stop faster f/stop. If your desire is to get the best possible imaging quality for birding or sports or landscape, the NIKKOR 180-400mm is for you.

Q: 7. Used warranty

A: Used items have 90 day warranty with B&H.

Q: 8. Is the lens foot removable?

A: Absolutely. I replaced mine after I tried 5 different feet and found I like this one best: Kirk LP-46 Replacement Arca-Type Quick Release Lens Plate/Foot. It brings the foot much closer to the lens, and lowers the balance point of the lens and easily allows the use of this 1.5 lb gimbal head: Jobu Design Jobu Jr.3 Deluxe Gimbal Kit with Swing-Arm HM-J3D (This GREAT gimbal is HALF the weight of most other decent gimbals.)You will also find the following foot works very well, and gives added space between the lens and the foot to give your fingers more room carrying the lens with winter gloves: Jobu Design Low Profile Replacement Foot--200-400mm f4 (I have this foot on my 200-400 f4)
