I know your other thread seemed boasty trenton, but in this last post I can deffinitely see why you'd want to show off that gear and that beautiful 1.4 bokeh. I'm jealous!
As for the 180 being slow, you said that was for hocky, how do you think it'll fair for his on-field highschool photography outdoors? I'm in yearbook an dI know how important it can be to get the right shot, but I'd personally get the 180 and a x1.4 teleconverter if I were you because of money. Shoot with it for a year or two, then sell for the 70-200 2.8 VR later in life.
Yeah, my other thread did seem boasty. And I didn't really intend for that to happen, but maybe part of me wanted to boast, I'm not sure.
All right, so, let's talk 180mm here...first off, is it compatible with Nikon's 1.4x teleconverters, I'm not sure. I don't believe it would be with autofocus. Aren't Nikon's autofocus teleconverters only compatible with AF-S lenses? The 180mm is not an AF-S lens. I've not tried any teleconverters with it though, so I can't speak on that with 100% accuracy. The 180mm is a good lens, don't get me wrong, and if you are comfortable focusing manually, then by all means, do it up and I figure you'll be satisfied. And hey, maybe the autofocus will work fine for what you'll be shooting anyways. If you buy from Amazon and within 30 days are dissatisfied, they've got a decent return policy that'll get you your money back and a reimbursement for the shipping back to Amazon.
