Im will very soon be in the position of looking for a long lens for my Nikon D300.At the moment i have the Sigma 120-300 and 1.4 TC. I will be looking to buy one for the following for wildlife/birding etc.I find that the Sigma and 1.4tc isnt the best for smaller birds and often have to crop images, on larger birds/animals its fine for me.I have full camouflage gear and im learning some fieldcraft as i go which has helped some.
Im thinking of either a Nikon 400, 500 or 600 mm lens.I think the VR options will be to expensive for me but i should be looking at a AF-S II ( 2nd hand ).I have a tripod and monopod but prefer the mono as its easier to carry around with me.
Which one would be best with a tc--the 400 with a x2 tc or the 500/600 with a 1.4tc?
Which is the lightest and easiest to carry around?
I know the 400 is a 2.8 and the others ar an F4 but which takes a tc best.I will be keeping the 120-300 as well so its to compliment this lens.
You thoughts would be great and any images with the 400 and 2x tc or the 500/600 with a 1.4tc would be great.
