I bought a demo model of the AFS-II. They are pretty much the same except VR and Nano coating. I saved $1,000 also and glad I did. The AFS-II is tack sharp and fast focusing. It also works great with the 1.7x converter. You'll enjoy either one.

Quan. I just bought a demo Nikon 300mm F2.8 AFS-II. I use it with the 1.7x and it's an AMAZING combo. I used to have the 300mm F4. This new combo is in another league. Don't bother with the Sigma, get the 300mm, I promise you won't regret it. Fast focusing and tracking, really sharp and this is...

A small selection from the past couple of years. Have not done much street photography lately, really miss it. Enjoy

Taken on veterans day by the Vietnam Memorial. She was waiting for people to be seated and the names to be read. I guess it took longer than she thought, when I walked by later, she was taking a nap.

Taken and a arts festival on the Mall in Washington DC. The artist was carving and painting wooden ducks. These two were sitting next to his chair, thought it was quite amusing.

Arnie, I really like the 1.7 over the 1.4. More reach, very sharp and really compliments the 300 F4. It auto focuses fine on the D300, but it will hunt a little. Once it focuses on a BIF, it really locks on. Again, a great combo.

Matthew, glad you like it. I'm not sure about the count, all I know is there were an amazing amount of them and when they all start taking off together, what a sight to photograph.

Taken a couple weeks ago at Prime Hook Wildlife Refuge in Delaware. Three of us were shooting all day, but the evening light was the best time. I'll have more shots nest week from the trip. D300 with 300mm F4 and 1.7x.

Taken on a very foggy morning in Bombay Hook NWF, Delaware. Had to manual focus the 300 mm with 1.7 converter. I did use matrix metering which worked perfectly as usual and boosted saturation.

These were taken on a field trip a few weeks ago. D300, 17-55 and several ND filters.

Taken at sunset in Bombay Hook NWR in Delaware. Followed him coming in and landing, the light was constantly changing, so metering was a challenge. D300, 300mm F4 + 1.7 converter.

One of my favorites

This was taken at Meadowlark Gardens in Vienna, VA this summer. About 20 if these birds were flying back and forth in this one tree. I just kept shooting away, later processed all the images and found this amusing one. Shot with D300, 300 mm F4 and 1.7 converter. Enjoy.

My local camera store is having an "at cost" sale day tomorrow. Was wondering if anyone would now how much the D90 body would sell for. Think it's a great D300 backup.

Taken in Washington DC during the 4th of July celebrations. D300 and 17-55 mm.

This was taken in the spring at the peak of the cherry blossoms. The sun was rising and the and the contrails came into position at the perfect time. Fill flash on the blossoms. D300, 17-55 mm, metering off the sky with some fill flash.

This was taken at Blackwater Wildlife Refuge in Maryland.

Excellent series.

I spooked him as I was slowly walking towards him. But managed to to take about 5 shots while he headed up. Shot with D2x and 70-200vr. He later returned to his trusty branch so I left him in peace.

So I was shooting a waterfall, walked over a bridge heading back to the car and saw these guys feeding. Waited patiently, and was rewarded with this. Makes me smile every time I look at it. D2x w/70-200vr :smile:

Wonderful shots. I am going to try to get a flying dragonfly also. Very difficult.

Very nice series. Love the first one. :smile:

Interesting image. I like the light shade of colors.

Lovely series, I'm also upgrading to CS2 soon. Love the colors.

Wonderful series, especially the ladybug one. Very nice colors and compositions.

Superb shot. :smile:

Yup, not happy with me, but the lighting was great. Taken in the evening at a small swamp near my house. D2x + 70-200vr.

Shot this GWH holding on tightly on a windy afternoon (a storm wwas was coming in from the ocean) at Bombay Hook. I had some time to take many pictures as he did not seem to want to move. As you can tell the wind was blowing left to right. D2x w/70-200mm + 1.7x

Absolutely beautiful.

Very nice shots. I have similar ones that I'll post sooner or later.

Beautiful series. Especially the third image, the lighting is wonderful. Job well done.

Very nice, especially like the third one.

Nice work. Now I need to go to a refuge, you've given me the bug. :smile:

First time posting, hope this works. Taken a couple weeks ago at Bombay Hook NWR in DE. OK what am I doing wrong? No image.
