Q: 1. Is the 80-400mm f/4.5-5.6G ED VR lens weather sealed? I would be using it at the beach for shorebirds.

A: No, I don't think there is such as weather sealer lens, you can use a lens coat, but this lens is not an IF lens, so it would be difficult to fit very well. I have this lens, and I get some really good photos out of it from my daughter's soccer game and shoreline bird. This lens is a bargain, of cause, I wish I have 500mm f4, but talking about $10K.

Q: 2. Is this Lens compatible with Nikon Teleconverters?

A: The Nikon AF-S NIKKOR 80-400mm f/4.5-5.6G ED VR Lens is compatible with the TC-14E II and TC-14E III teleconverters with restrictions, ( Autofocus is available only with cameras that offer f/8 support. These include the Z 7, Z 6, D5, D500, D4/D4S, Df, D850, D810/D810A, D800/D800E, D750, D600/D610, D7100, D7200 and D7500. For cameras that do not support f/8, teleconverters can be used without autofocus.). And the TC-17E II, TC-20E II and TC-20E III teleconverters will work on the lens without autofocus.

Q: 3. Canon 100-400 L IS II which cover fits?

A: This cover will work with the Canon EF 100-400mm f/4.5-5.6L IS II USM Lens.

Q: 4. Is this an all one piece cover or several pieces? Is it easy to take on and off?

A: It is made up of 6 pieces that simply slip over the lens. I don't use the piece that covers the lens when fully extended as you can't zoom out with it on. It can be cumbersome when manually focusing or using the zoom tension ring with the covers on. Since I don't often use those features it's of little concern to me.I also cut the clear plastic out of the section that covers the IS and AF switches so they are easier to access.Overall, it's a decent product. It does it's job to help protect the lens and hide the whiteness of it.

Q: 5. Does the accuracy of the focus at the long end (400mm) deteriorate over time? I'd be interested in hearing from someone who has owned the lens for at least a couple of years with heavy use.

A: After several years, there is no change in sharpness throughout the zoom range.

Q: 6. how does the 80-400 compare to the Nikon 70-300 f/4-5.6 in image quality and automatic focus speed and accuracy?

A: The Nikon 70-300 f/4-5.6 is an entry level kit priced lens and will yield excellent results. Its compact, light weight and easy to carry. To quote Ken Rockwell's review: I've used this lens and it works just great. It's my first suggestion as the best inexpensive addition to a standard lens like the 18-55 lens. The 70-300mm f/4.5-5.6G has a more robust build with a metal lens mount. This lens features a SWM (Silent Wave Motor) enables quiet automatic IF (Internal Focusing) focusing, Vibration Reduction, engineered specifically for each VR NIKKOR lens, enables handheld shooting at up to 4 shutter speeds slower than would otherwise be possible and Two ED (Extra-low Dispersion) glass elements minimize chromatic aberration across the entire zoom range while ensuring high resolution and contrast that ensure superior optical performance.The 80-400 for starters has a longer focal length range. In addition to regular autofocus and manual focus, two other focusing modes are available: A/M (Auto-Priority Manual Mode) enables an easy transition from autofocus to manual during AF operation, with a low possibility of unintentional switching, while M/A (autofocus with manual override, MF priority) allows switching from AF to MF with virtually no lag time by turning the focusing ring--letting you seamlessly switch to fine manual focusing while looking through the camera's viewfinder. A SWM (Silent Wave Motor) utilizes ultrasonic vibrations to provide quick, quiet, smooth and precise auto focusing performance that is ideal for use with video and subject-tracking applications. Internal Focusing is used to maintain an overall compact lens form-factor and to produce overall faster performance. The lens will not change in size during AF operation, enabling a closer focusing distance without the danger of damaging the lens' front element.Built-in image stabilization counteracts the effects of camera shake, allowing you to shoot at shutter speeds up to four times slower than would otherwise be possible. A dedicated VR setting for tripods gives you the sharpest imagery possible without working against the image stabilization system.ED Glass Elements (1) super ED (extra-low dispersion) and (4) ED glass elements help reduce chromatic aberrations throughout the zoom range and produce higher image sharpness, clarity, and color fidelity. SIC (multilayer Super Integrated Coating) is applied to the individual optical elements, as is a Nano Crystal Coat to minimize surface reflections across a wide range of wavelengths and prevent lens flare and ghosting--resulting in greater overall contrast and light transmission.

Q: 7. will this work D5300?

A: Yes.

Q: 8. can we purchase the lens barrel cover separately, i lost mine?

A: Sorry. The lens barrel cover is not sold separately in the LensCoat Lens Cover for Canon 100-400mm f/4.5-5.6 IS II (Realtree Max4 Camo).

Q: 9. Any suggestions as to best camp pattern? Arctic trip (only 1) and safaris in Africa top list. I am thinking digital as it seems to just break up the lens but new to this

A: Unfortunately, there is not one particular LensCoat pattern designed for use both in Arctic conditions and in jungle/savannah environments. Most photographers that will be shooting in multiple locations will purchase multiple lens coats. If you will only be taking each trip once and you do not want to invest in multiple lens coats, you may either use the lens as-is, or purchase the pattern for the location in which you think you will take the most images. The Digital Camo option would be good for arctic conditions and may have slightly more flexibility, but the color may stand out in sandy or wooden environments found in the jungle/savannah, for which the Realtree Max5 may be a better option.

Q: 10. Would a Nikkor 20063 with a teleconverter be a suitable option to this lens?

A: This setup would perform better that that setup.
