Nikon's huge AF-S Nikkor 400mm f/2.8G ED VR lens is so big it comes in its own special suitcase. At almost Nikon3,000 its price tag is beyond the reach of even the most serious enthusiasts. That said, this lens is beautifully constructed and elegantly...

I have had this lens for a few months and I'm loving it! Sure, it's a very heavy beast - be prepared to spend a fair whack on tripod, head, bag, etc. I also recommend replacing the tripod foot with a Kirk one. It works very well in reasonable light...
very sharp, close focus distance under 3m, works well with teleconverters, very fast af, useful af limiter switch
not cheap, weight and size, requires significant expenditure on accessories
