First of all, sorry for the late reply, I have been fighting some health issues recently and haven't had much time to look into the forum. Nonetheless, of course, welcome on board. And please don't hesitate to continue posting.

I didn't see if there is a schedule of lenses to be reviewed. Hope to see the Nikon 28-300 reviewed soon.[/quote]



There is no official schedule. Of course, there are lenses which we consider to have higher priorities than other ones, but since we all do this in our spare time (with limited resources), we don't commit to a schedule of any sort. Not even a published list of which lens is next.



[quote name='hwyhobo' timestamp='1287000801' post='3619']In anticipation of the review, I would also love to see an unusual comparison - I would love to see the quality of the lens compared to 700-200 f/2.8 II _with the new 2xTCIII_ at their overlapping focal lengths (140-300mm).[/quote]



There won't be a direct comparison, but I will add test results with all current TCs to the review of the 70-200 VR II. However, tests with TCs will only be done at maximum focal length, that's all I can offer.



[quote name='hwyhobo' timestamp='1287000801' post='3619'] it would be very helpful to have a few simple data points, for instance, at a distance of 50 cm the max focal length is 100 mm, at a distance of 2 m the max focal length is ..., 5 m ..., 20 m .... It would also be nice to know at which distance the lens can become a real 300 mm, assuming it is short of infinity.

Sorry, but I don't see this in the near future.
