For nearly a decade the Nikon 600mm f/4G ED VR lens reigned supreme as the most desirable lens among many sports and wildlife photographers. A beast of a lens, it was known to be exceptionally sharp, producing beautiful and contrasty images. Nikon finally updated the lens with a lighter modern version in 2015, which triggered many owners to sell their 600mm lenses in order to upgrade to the latest and greatest “E” version. Today, one can purchase a used version of the 600mm f/4G VR at nearly half the price, which makes it a real bargain. In this review, we will take a closer look at this classic and compare it to other Nikon super-telephoto lenses, including its successor.
