I can't help but add a few things for the OP.
1st. You mentioned 300 was not long enough, hence selling the 300 VR
2nd. You mentioned above, a few posts later that you will buy a a 300afs instead
3rd. You mention purchasing a D3s along with the 300afs, meaning you lose the 1.5x crop factor from your D80...
Now if you get a tc1.4x, you will almost get the same range as a 300mm lens with a D80, however you will lose a stop on that 300afs f4, so just something to consider
Good luck.
Keep in mind, and maybe you didn't take this into account, but the OP is an idiot.

i agree, the vrii is useless for panning and motorsports. anyone cares to disagree id rather listen to the two photographers i met at this weekends race. they work for speed. more than likely im going to return this and buy a tc for my 70-200.
so everyone can move with their life all i tried to do was pass on a lens i just bought. someone said i didnt have it and that i was trying to scam. obviously not the case!
but a 1.4TC only gives you 290mm at the long end from a 70-200mm so its shorter than a 300mm which is too short.....
why not put a 1.4Tc on the 300mm - making a longer 420mm![]()
Also - this thread is full of all kinds of win but LEAVE THE DUCKS OUT OF IT!!
They never did anything to anyone!

What you still don't seem to get is the reason why everyone is coming after you is because you basically posted this and gave everyone the middle finger in your very first post. Your attitude is absolute sh1te, and it's pretty hysterical to all of us watching it. Don't know what your issue is, but I'm sure you have a team of therapists on retainer.
