Comet L/2011 L4 (Panstarrs) south of Phoenix, AZ, a few days ago as it was setting into the Sierra Estrella mountains. D3s + 180/2.8D ED, 3sec, f/2.8, ISO1000, no tracking. Very happy with the D3s...

I almost did a 500/4 VR...it was like flipping a coin for me! The 500/4 + 1.4TC is phenomenal. I think this is about the best long range nature combo out there. Great lens indeed!
-
Yes. 6 months ago I upgraded from my D300/D700 combo for similar reasons, I wanted a better high ISO body (the D700 is pretty darned good though). So I got a new D3s (even skipped the D4, since...
-
Nice shots. I also own the 400/2.8 VR. It's phenomenal. I used to own the 200-400/4 VR but upgraded to this. It definitely TC's better than the 200-400/4 VR, which was already a very good lens....

This is great info guys...appreciate your real world info in this post! You just never know who will be checking you at the gate and how they interpret things (or don't interpret...

yeh, means restrictions on say lenses >
12" in length for example. The list is meant to be restriction list and not an allowed list.

That was my thought as well...so I decided to do a quick survey of all 31 stadiums. What I found is that the lens restrictions are so variable from stadium to stadium that I no longer think...

Here's a quick survey of the 31 NFL stadiums. Listed from most friendly to least friendly (excluding any rent a cop judgements!). Lots of variation as expected. Check your stadium for the latest...

Some ideas:
1. 300/4 + 14TC
2. 300/2.8VR + 14TC
3. 200-400/4VR
4. 200/2VR + 14TC/17TC/20TCIII
5. 400/2.8VRI've owned all of the above at one time or another. I think if I was looking for a...

I have the 200/2 and TC20III. I've wondered if they would gripe about the 200/2. Technically, it should pass (barely) the 8" rule and 200mm rule. But it's so wide and fat, I'm afraid the rent a...
-
Yeh, I figured I'd add to the same thread for any future searchers (keep info in the same place);). Good to know...I wouldn't be surprised if they would check the focal length.
-
Just a followup on this topic. They do check your lens length at security with a short, pre-marked stick. Current regulation is less than 8" lens and/or no more than 200mm. The guy checking mine...
-
I also did the same. I ditched a D4 for a new D3s about 6 months ago, upgrading from a D300. It saved me money and I re-invested this into some nice glass. I may have not done this say if the D4...
-
not quite a D800E, but a D800. He seems to like it along with his D4:

Hi Karen, if you're in the market for a zoom, maybe look into the 16-85 VR. It's a skosh sharper than the 18-70 at least center. Also sharper than the 18-55...
-
I think if I were looking for a 200/2 VR these days, I'd opt for the VRI and not the VRII due to the price. That's just me...I own the VRI and it's a killer lens! It's hard not to like the...
-
That would be my choice. I owned both the 70-200 VRI and 300/4 in previous lifetime. That extra reach is nice on the 300/4 and what a sharp lens. It TC's well with a 1.4TC as well. Just my...
-
That might be my pick in your situation. Just one man's opine. I still really like my 24-70 and it's quite decent in low-light and is so....versatile! (despite the occasional gripes...
-
That would be a killer lens for weight and size combo. When I owned the 200-400 I always shot at 400mm it seemed...just that as it's a zoom, that thing is quite long physically. I've been...
