Seems that folks here wanna see me post a birdie.
You know if someone will buy/give/present me with the proper
looooonnnnnggggg glass f2 or better !! :wow
Now then I'd be golden and covered in feathers :rofl

Hey anybody own one of those (very rare) 300f2 that Nikon made a few years back, now that would be a cool chunk of glass :clap :thumb :lust

Anywho with my new/old kit here's a birdie shot to tear up :lol

Doesn't Nighcon make a 200mm lens? I'll sell you some old Nikkor glass cheap. I've got a 300mm f/5.6, 200mm f/4, 135mm f/2.8, 55mm f/2.8 miccro, 50mm f/1.4. All AI or AIS versions in the F mount. :dunno :rofl I've also got a tank. FM2N and MD-12 winder. I think if I sold off all that old stuff I might be able to buy a used Canon lens. :D Don't go using that "long lens" excuse for not posting bird pics.....or I'll have to go get my 17mm shots of GBHs with a P&S. :ivar

At least its a good flight shot. :thumb Try and get one of those with a dog.

The 80-200 is an excellent lens. What happened to your 300 f/4?
