Heya,
My hardly ever used nikon 75-300mm f5.6(the older model with the better MTF rating according to photodo ) is seeing a lot of use of late and I'm just toying with the idea of a new lens which reaches 400mm... (oh no, another white elephant)
I don't think I want to spend money on the 400 3.5 ED (IF), but the 80-400 VR seems interesting. Any thoughts? - hows the optical quality, ease of use etc... hopefully an improvement over my old lens? I know I'm only using a F70 (VR doesn't work?), but can always upgrade later
So far, I'm just managing with 300mm for swans, but I want to move to Puffins soon when they come inland to breed
(btw, was Limster on hwz)
