[QUOTE="STM, post: 394329, member: 12827"] I went to the Phoenix Zoo today and shot about 200 images. These two Prairie Dogs were taking turns wrestling and grooming each other. I shot this image with the 80-200mm f/4 AIS @ 200mm and f/5.6. This is one [I]VERY SHARP LENS[/I]. I lugged the "beast" as well as the D700, extra battery pack for the grip, 300mm f/2.8, 80-200 f/4 and 50mm f/1.4 around for about 5 hours and who knows how many miles. I wish I had a dollar for every time someone said (of the 600mm f/4) "that is a HUGE lens" or "that is the biggest lens I have ever seen!". I should have told them Nikon makes an 800mm f/5.6 and 1200mm f/11. The Phoenix Zoom is a first rate zoo, every bit as large and expansive as the San Diego Zoo, the largest one I have ever visited. I have lots of images to wade through and after about 450 miles on the road I am pretty well worn out. I can hardly wait to get up in the morning to see how sore my shoulders are!
