NIKKOR AF-S 80-400mm f/4.5-5.6G ED VR

• 20 Elements in 12 Groups
• VR Vibration Reduction System
• 9-Bladed Circular Aperture

This is a good lens for Nikon users wanting a longer telephoto zoom. Focuses with 1.4x extender. Mint condition with no marks or scratches. Further, the lens has been protected by removable Lenscoat (neoprene) to protect the lens body; camouflage Realtree Max4 - free of charge with purchase (value USD $80.00). Cleaned after each use and held in a Pelican case with moisture absorbing silica gel. Regularly serviced and recalibrated for the sharpest focus by Nikon Australia.
This lens has been used less than once per month for bird and landscape photography.

Included is Really Right Stuff replacement collar LC-A13 (Value $250)

The RRS collar replaces Nikon collar for extra stability on monopod or tripod. The lens collar produced by Nikon is light weight and less stable. Value USD $250.

(https://www.reallyrightstuff.com/LC-A13-for-Nikon-AF-S-80-400mm-f-4-5-5-6-VR). The replacement collar is a significantly more robust version than the one supplied with the lens and ideally suited for monopod and tripod applications. The RRS foot is ideal for Arcaswiss style tripod heads.


Price: $ 2,100 plus postage
