Buy if: You're looking for amazing quality images and are planning on shooting in all sorts of different weather.
Don't buy if: You're on a budget. Even at this price this isn't cheap. It also stops short of being able to take super-detailed close-ups of objects.
Alternative models: If you're looking for something a little cheaper we'd recommend looking at the Sigma 70-200mm f/2.8 DG OSM lens for Nikon’s F-mount, and purchasing an adaptor.
Or if you can live with the super low-light friendly f/2.8, consider Nikon's Z 24-200mm f/4-6.3 compact telephoto, though you likely won't be able to pick out clear stars.
