[QUOTE="mbraner, post: 732177, member: 48092"] Focal length is not everything. I've tried several 300 and 400mm lenses, old cheap manual-focus ones, and generally found that my old Nikkor AIS 200mm (which I bought for a pittance and partly disassembled to remove some fungus) yields better results even after I crop the photo as needed. The screw-focus Tokina 400mm is not too bad - if used on a sturdy tripod. But the AF-P DX 70-300 VR completely blew them all away and I consider it a game changer. Handheld shots at 300mm are often very sharp and can be cropped much further. And it's light and cheap to boot. I was so impressed I bought a D3300 to use with it so I don't have to lug the D7100 unless I want to. (The AF-P lens won't work with my older D3100.) I should figure out how to post photos to this forum so you can see. [/QUOTE]
