    It was tricky, kept coming too close to focus with that lens and I'd have to step away to take a photo! Tame as, thought it was gonna land on the camera like the one that landed on my rifle barrel down Stewart Island.

    I mainly use a Nikon 200 f/2 VR II or a Zeiss 100 f2 Makro Planar. Camera is a Nikon D800E or Nikon D3. Wouldn't mind a Nikon 400 f/2.8 but they're about $14,000 and I wouldn't get enough use out of it nowadays.

    Good luck with your new lens; 400mm is a great focal length for most wildlife.

    Nice kit!

    Most of my mine are from a D80 with 80-200 f/2.8 D, 18-70 kit lens and 50mm f/1.8 (which is reversed for macro). But just upgraded to a D7000 last week and loving it! The 400mm isn't super fancy, its a Tokina ATX f/5.6. Quite impressed with it so far though, especially for $110!
