| Re: More pulling power
Thanks for your input, people. Maybe the 200-400 lens is a bit too far out there, so I've come up with a contingency plan which is as follows: I already use the Nikkor 300mm f/4 AF-S, which gives superb results, and am now considering the addition of the TC-14 E II which will take the focal length up to 420 mm and an aperture of f/5.6. The addition of the Nikkor 70-200 f/2.8 AF-VR ( with the occasional use of the converter, giving me a 98-280 f3.5 option) would make make things more versatile, and the lens has Silent Wave focusing (as does the 300mm). The TC-14E II is designed for use with both lenses.
The field of view of a DSLR will increase the effective focal lengths of these combinations, (hopefully) giving me the extra reach as and when I need it.
I'm considering the Nikkor zoom over anything else because of the optical performance.
Any thoughts or comments?
