I am tripping the 300mm f4 nikon since it lacks vr and pulled the trigger on the big wood. I hope to get a few muskox shots at work soon. last year I pulled some good shots with my k5 and 300mm so I hope the d800 combo will really rock.

Bad thing is, I would need to sell another lens, possibly my Nikon 24-120 F4 to get it. I have other lenses to cover that range, but it sure is a hard one to let go.

I am hurting for a wide angle that won't break the bank.....but use up the sensor. What are you all doing for a case for the 150-600? I pack my body and two lenses in a pelican case when I travel to Alaska. ....but this isn't going to fit. I need oilfield tough.

I would love a 28-70......but I need to make a buck with this contraption to justify dropping ANOTHER grand into it.
