[QUOTE="pforsell, post: 667140, member: 7240"] As per your original post, if noise is the most pressing problem, then the best bang for the buck would be either a faster lens, or a faster [B]and[/B] longer lens. I'll throw here a few possibilities. Could be that none of them suits you, but at least you can use these as the starting point. Nikon AF-S 300mm f/4D Nikkor AF-S 300mm f/4E PF VR Nikkor AF-S 70-200mm f/2.8 VR + TC-14E III (I have these) Nikkor AF-S 300mm f/2.8 VR (I have this) Nikkor AF-S 200-400mm f/4 VR Nikkor AF-S 400mm f/2.8 VR (I have this) Nikkor AF-S 200-500mm f/5.6 VR (same max. aperture as your current) There are probably other options that I've missed, but I hope these provide some kind of starting point. Other manufacturers probably offer some lenses too, but I cannot comment on those since I have zero experience with them. My reason for choosing the Nikon system was Nikkor lenses, not the cameras. Lenses last a lifetime, cameras are disposable. Good luck, and please report back with samples once you have found your solution. :) [/QUOTE]
