The glory days. Too bad pony was way better than little league. Wanted to test out the t2i i am using from my video production class.

froknowsphoto.com/nikon-200-400-f4-vr-ii/ Click Here for my full review of this Nikon Lens.
Is any lens worth $6800, that's the question. This is Nikon's second version of the 200-400 VR that has been a very popular lens. Second generations tend to mean sharper photos, lighter in weight and better VR.
As you know with my reviews I like to actually take the lens out into real world shooting environments. This time around I shot Maria indoors working out in a very low light situation along with Professional Lacrosse, The Philadelphia Flyers and a High School Baseball game.
Let's start with the boring stuff. How is this lens built? Like any high end professional lens this lens is built extremely well. It feels great in the hands but I highly recommend using a nice and sturdy mono-pod or tri-pod when shooting. This definitely is not a lens you want to hand hold for a long time (7.4 LBS). With that said I did end up hand holding it in pit at the Arcade Fire Show and you can see the results Right Here.
I love Nikon's top of the line lenses as they have the Nano crystal coating. This coating means sharper images and less lens flair when shooting towards bright light. All of the Hebrew Trinity lenses have Nano coating and I can tell you even when shooting into the sun you will not see any flair.
The truth is when you spend this much money on a lens you can only expect that it is built well and will deliver the results you are looking for.
Nikon D4 | ISO 800 | 500mm lens | f / 4.0 | 1/8000 second. Nothing like a day game to freeze the action with a silly high shutter speed.
