Well............I finally pulled the trigger. After saving for a few years I finally purchased a Nikon 500mm f/4 VRII lens with some accessories. Firstly, this is one monster of a lens with the hood, and is very heavy (not something you want to carry around your neck all day). The focus speed is fast and the images pretty darn sharp. When you use a teleconverter, the focus speed is still resonable with 1.4 teleconverter, but then drops off with the 1.7 and 2.0 teleconverters. All the images below where taken the 500mm and or 500mm + 1.4 teleconverter from the backyard. Enjoy!!!
