[QUOTE="BackdoorArts, post: 97413, member: 9240"] The only time I've had the focus hunting experience BooBoos speaks of is in low light conditions, or when I'm trying to grab a single bird in a dull sky that's just a little too far out. That said, if you know you're going to be living at the far end of the lens then a lens like the 300 f/4 with an optional teleconverter is a great alternative. After almost two years with mine I am currently weighing my next step, which will either be the Sigma 120-300 f/2.8 (a fantastic lens, but 50% heavier at 6.5 lbs) or sucking it up and waiting on a "right priced" Nikon 300 f/2.8 (but still heavy at 6.39 lbs). With a 2x converter both will give me more reach at the same light levels. Unfortunately, they may blow out any idea I have of shooting handheld unless I beef up that workout regiment. LOL [/QUOTE]
