[QUOTE="Deleted, post: 349090, member: 29753"] Thanks for your advice Jake, it's appreciated. I'll qualify the "events" that I mean to cover. I'm thinking for of outdoor events such as country fairs, agricultural shows, maybe horse jumping. All natural daylight. Point taken about the max reach issue for wildlife. I understand that although the 2x teleconvertor works, the 70-200mm autofocus can "hunt" a bit. For wildlife, I'm aiming for this lens to be a good quality stop-gap, until if & when I take that side more seriously. A future possibility would be the AF-S 300mm f4D IF-ED with a 2x teleconvertor which seems to review very well. I'd be inclined though to wait until Nikon produce a VR version. Meanwhile, the main medium-term use for this lens would be the events I mentioned, but I was hoping to get some initial wildlife use out of it too. Your point about the reach still being short for wildlife is useful for me to remember. [/QUOTE]
