[QUOTE="06Honda, post: 734491, member: 12845"] My current bird photography setup is: Nikon D7200 Nikon AF-S 80-400MM F/4.5-5.6G ED VR As my body ages i am finding it a little heavy lately even when using the Cotton Carrier. My question is are their any Nikon lighter lenses that give me 400mm (min) that are a fair bit lighter than my current setup. A friend of mine has a AF-S NIKKOR 300mm f/4E PF ED VR and it is very light weight but only tops out at 300m. For the cost adding a teleconvertor to me seems a waste of money on the intial purchase of this lense as you will end up with F5.6 as far as I can tell. Any suggestions are welcome, I have thought about a tripod but this will only make my current setup even heavier to carry. [/QUOTE]
