Hi Firefox, the Nikkor 105mm f/2.8G is what I use, I use mine with the Kenko 300 pro 1.4 converter this takes it up to 150.
Hope this answers your question.

If you've got thousands to play with then the Nikon 200-400mm f4 is "the best wildlife lens in the world" according to one well-known pro. It is compatible with the Nikon 1.4 teleconverter too. If you're budget is more modest then the sigma 150-500 or the 50-500 or even the Nikon 80-400 VR are all options. I have the last of those and it delivers good sharp results but is not the fastest focussing lens. And it's not compatible with Nikon teleconverters although it can be used with a Kenko TC.

aah right. lucky you!
Then I'd look at the sigma 105mm instead of the nikon. It's no less sharp and cheaper. | | | |
