I need to purchase a long lens. I have a friend I am visiting next month that has a lake on the property. I was already looking forward to photographing the many birds that nest there. She was just told that there are 4 nesting pairs of the endangered Piping Plover.
- I own a Nikon D200, 24X120mm VR, 70-200mm VR, 1X4 teleconverter,
acratech ballhead, and a Gitzo tripod.
- I have around $ 1500.00 to spend.
- It would be nice to be able to hand hold as well as use the tripod.
Do I specifically need a VR if I want to hand hold? If am thinking I can only afford the 300mm range. So which one?
