All,
It’s been a busy year photographing
Anyway - I’m seriously considering investing in a manual focus Nikon 400 2.8.
Currently I shoot with a d810, D3s and d3 and have just wrapped up doing a lot of sport / action photography. I’m kind of sick of it now! With that said - I’m hoping to do more wildlife and people photography and slow things down a little.
I have always wanted a 400 2.8 as nothing gives the same look and when looking at used options I am concerned about future serviceability - in that many cannot be repaired nowadays. I figured a manual focus 400 2.8 is a better investment than an old 400 2.8 af that could break down in the field and lose a ton of value (not that much ever gets sold )
Most of my wildlife photography is not fast action based - rather more portrait style if that makes sense.
I know it’s a weapon of a lens and I’ve got to figure out how to travel with it - but am I mad to consider a manual focus super telephoto?
Thanks
Chris
