70-300 as I grapple with mastering it under the tutorial of [MENTION=6277]Don Kuykendall[/MENTION]

I am thinking to buy one, what is your expirience with this lens? And could you give me the link for that tutorial? Thanks in advance!
All the best!

Its a great lens and Don Kuykendall who is a member here is the go-to guy when it comes to advice on it.

Do you have the VR version @Lawrence? If so, that is one fantastic lens. Just keep that shutter speed up.
When I get the 150-600, I will still keep that lens for shooting flowers and butterflies with it.

Yes it is the VR one Pete. I need to master it because up until now it I haven't been able to get the quality shots others get in low light. Methinks I am scared of high ISO for some reason.

I used to not go above 1600 with Emmylou (7100) when I had her, but had no problems shooting BIF with it. However this was in good light. What are you shooting in low light? I think that even indoors like at a sporting event 1600 would be enough to shoot some sports at close to 1/1000th of a second shutter speed.

Haven't done any indoor stuff with it.
My low light experience is limited to early evening with ducks on the river and in most cases they have been noisy - the ducks too, especially when people feed them bread. :)
Don has shown me some amazing photos using very high ISO and exposure compensation so the camera is capable.

Just what exactly do you mean by very high ISO? He must be doing a lot of noise cleaning if you mean 3200 or even 6400.

Nikkor 70-210 mm AF. f/4-5.6. a sweet lens and they go pretty inexpensive. A tad on the heavy side but it gives fine images.

First impression is that the lens is crazy sharp and lack distortion. Gonna have fun with some macro soon.
