Well, lets hope Nikon comes out with a decent substitute for the 80-400.. So far the average (occasional) tele shooter had to go with a teleconverter (1.7 or 2.0X) with theirs 70-200 f2.8 or 300 f4 lenses, apparently getting way better results with those outfits then the 80-400 at 300-400 range. Economically it makes sense with the 300mm f4 and despite Nikon saying otherwise, AF works with the 1.7 converter <img src='http://forum.photozone.de/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/wink.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='Wink' /> I wonder if the same applies to the new 2X mk III converter..



Anyways, it's just more handy to have a genuine 80-400 or 100-400 with fast AF <img src='http://forum.photozone.de/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='Smile' /> so I'd guess there is room for that kind of lens in the Nikon line <img src='http://forum.photozone.de/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='Smile' />
