[QUOTE="pforsell, post: 615432, member: 7240"] The Nikon AF-S 70-300 VR is a bit soft beyond 200 mm setting. The new AF-P DX 70-300 VR is much sharper in the long end according to reviews, but I don't have first hand knowledge. Then Nikon has just announced a third lens in this category, AF-P 70-300 VR for full frame, but that is not yet available. Make sure you compare the correct lens when putting them side by side. I guess you'll be using a DX camera? I think 300 mm is useful but maybe a bit on the short side with birds. Something in the 400-500 mm category might be better but also much more expensive. It is too bad Nikon doesn't currently offer a 400 mm f/5.6 lens. That wouldn't break the bank nor be too big or heavy. [/QUOTE]
