a little nikon porn

the 300mm f4 is a great lens for anyone looking to not invest a ton

 

Just for a little perspective. I bought a brand new 1966 Hemi Dodge Charger for just about 1/4 of what you spent for camera and lenses combined. Granted, it was 46 years ago, but still....

 

Unfortunately on most of my trips I do not have mules (on some I do though) ... so my lenses are smaller!

 

true, but now a new dodge charger hemi would be 4x

also a little inflation calculator says $15,000 today = about $2000 in 1966, just crazy huh

 

is that your 500 f4?

 

yes sir, so far so good

 

you lucky @#%@#$....hahah j/k looks great, you opted for the non VR one 'eh?

 

I am sure all the Nikonians will be drooling over this image, but I am having trouble trying to decide if it is nature or wildlife.

yeah, i wanted a vr, but they rarely come up for sale used. and when they do for a good price, they are snatched up quick. also liked saving a few thousand. and its 1 lb lighter. works good for me so far

 

its for nature and wildlife, lol.

my friend wants the 200mm back, he did say i can borrow it again when i need it, good friend to have. hehe

 

The porn should be shared, don't you think?











I'd love that 200mm.

 

You don't have to spend that much money on a lens to get good bird photos. Take a look at what Coastalconn is doing with a 200-500 Tamron and an older 300 f/4. I use a 300 f/4 with a 1.4X TC and I can get some pretty nice bird shots. Granted, you have to have better light and more patience because you need to be closer. Not saying I haven't thought about black market kidney sales to fund one of the big Nikon primes though.....
