Up for sale is a Nikon (Nikkor) 400mm ED AF-I f/2.8 D lens in excellent condition. It comes with a very nice CT-401 hard case, rear cap, front lens cover, lens hood (HK-20), lens strap, case strap and original filter holder. The filter holder works but is missing the screw on knob as seen in the photos. Puchased from original owner in 2001, it has been gently used and well cared for . There are minor cosmetic scratches on the barrel as shown but this lens has never been dropped or abused. It is missing the knob on the filter holder as shown. Also note the tripod mount/carrying handle has three mounting holes. The furthest forward was stripped out when we purchased it. All photos are of the actual lens. Autofocus is fast and almost silent and shifting from auto to manual focus is smooth and quick. Focus can also be manually fine tuned while in autofocus mode. This is a well balanced lens, making it ideal for many applications, including sports, fashion, and wildlife photography. This is a NikonUSA lens, not gray market. Also the lens had maintenance cleaning by authorized Nikon service this year. The beautiful, crisp images it delivers are without peer, making this lens a valuable asset to any photographer. The action photos shown were taken with this lens on the Nikon D3 and D2H.
It works perfectly on every digital Nikon, even the cheapest D40 and D3000. It works perfectly on every recent AF film Nikon (F100, N80, F4, F5, F6, etc.). It works perfectly on every manual focus Nikon made since 1977. Pre-1977, pre-AI cameras will need a coupling prong added to the lens' aperture ring. Older, lower-end film AF cameras like the N50 or 6006 may not autofocus, check your camera's manual. "The performance of the 400/2.8 AF-I is just about perfect. It is completely sharp across the entire field at every aperture. Put the no-longer-available Nikon Lens Scope Converter on it for the sharpest 40 power telescope you've ever seen.
