Review update: Nikon AF Micro Nikkor 200mm f/4.0D IF-ED

To my review of the Nikon 200mm f/4 in DAP are added two new pages.

One page shows that performance at distance is very high, and my detailed mosaic comparison shows unequivocally which apertures are optimal at distance.

There is no doubt that the 200/4 Micro Nikkor can make a very fine landscape lens, while also offering excellent working distance down to 1:1 for close-up (macro) work. Highly recommended.

See my June 18 comments for more details.

At about $1650, the Nikon 200mm f/4 is no casual purchase, but it will reward the user with outstanding image quality and greater ease for close-up work, simply because one doesn’t have to be right on top of things.

Don’t forget the HN-30 lens hood, because the lens is prone to veiling flare (haze), should any stray light creep in.
