[QUOTE="DaveKoontz, post: 1256, member: 315"] I feel a little funny about selling the 80 - 400mm simply because 1. it doesn't work properly and 2. it's out of warranty. There is the possibility of sending to Nikon for repair, but there's a cost associated with that too. It will focus "okay" at 300mm so it has some use to me .... Maybe someday, with proper warning it will be sold. 1.7x vs. 2x ? I am very impressed with the combination of the 70-200 mm and the 2x and have actually experienced an increase in sharpness at the higher mm setting - almost a WOW factor. I have heard many positives about the 1.7x though and will keep it in mind if/when the occasion arise. Thanks for your input. I think that my next lens investment will be either an 85mm or a 105mm - Do you have any suggestions, thoughts as to which would be a better choice?
