The 799 lens is for full frame ((FX) cameras, the 399 version is for crop sensor (DX) cameras. The 399 lens also has a plastic camera mount which may not be as sturdy as the metal mount on the more expensive lens. the "P" lenses are both newer versions. The lower priced lens may not be to the optical standards of the more expensive lens, but it is still very good. A lens hood is a necessity to decrease flare and hazing from off center light and that is an extra. All in all, the more expensive lens is a bargain but if you don't expect to ever go to the full frame cameras, or make prints over 13x19 inches, you will be happy with saving the money.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Autofocus and clarity of image. This is the best Nikon has to offer in a 70-300mm and the only lens that can hold its own to Canon L 70-300mm.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.The most expensive one is Nikon's latest. It has a very fast focus that makes it easier to capture birds, for example, in motion or sport shots. It is also reportedly more sharp over the entire zoom range. I use this lens with with a D7200 and love it to take pics of birds in flight when the larger 200-500mm lens is not practical. If you're not into taking action shots one of the other Nikon zoom lenses might serve your needs. Before purchasing this lens, it would be good to make sure that it's compatible with your camera model. Hope this helps.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.The major difference is that the $399 lens is designed for DX cameras such as the D5600 and will not cover the full image area on a full frame camera like the D750. The reviews that I've seen on this lens seem very favorable, so if you have a DX camera it's probably a good choice. You should be aware that AF-P lenses might have some limitations on older Nikon cameras or your camera may need a firmware update.
