Welcome to the forum Malcolm, hope you enjoy our love of photography and banter. Will be interested in your assessment of the 80-400, do you have a TC 1.4X to combine with the lens?

I am beginning to regret parting with my 400 f3.5. Now I have my D3 I am finding the 300 f2.8 a bit short for some stuff. I even tried a 500 f8 Mirror lens on a D3 today and was quite impressed.
