I have been using Nikon D200`s and more recently a D700 with a 300mmAFS 2.8 + 1.7 Converter.The full frame D700 gives superb images at Hi ISO`s and although the combined reach is 510mm, i have been very pleased with the results.To get more reach on days with better light i would swap over to the D200.In the main though,I try as hard as i can to get as close as possible to my subjects to make up for the lack of reach and i know there will be many occasions where i can`t but i am prepared to live with that .
