[QUOTE="dramtastic, post: 207018, member: 16805"] For wildlife your going to need at least a 400mm. Sure you can get by with 300 but it won't be long before your hankering for the extra reach especially for birds. So pedroj's suggestion of the 300 F4 but the AF-S with a 1.4 converter. 80-400 Nikkor 120-400 Sigma Or of you can find a good one on ebay like I did, the Sigma AF 100-300mm F4 EX IF HSM APO with a 1.4 tele Of course if you've got a spare 3k to drop and happy to use a tripod most of the time, you could be looking at the Sigma 120-300mm f/2.8 DG OS HSM Sport. Id take this over the 80-400 Nikkor for the about the same money. Personally I wouldn't get the 70-200 for wildlife. Even with a 1.4 converter you will only get a max of 280mm and if you have a DX body and think the crop factor is going to help it won't. Anyway, my 2 cents. [/QUOTE]
