I use a d800 mostly for landscapes but are due to go to the usa canada and alaska in the summer. I had hoped to borrow a 200-500 but that has not worked out. I mostly use the 16-35 and a 105 macro we have a 2.8 70-200 sigma but it is not brilliant. Lens hire is over £300 as we are going for 5 weeks.
I need a longer lens for wildlife in yellowstone ect. Open to suggestions.
 
The 200-500 is available for £850 imported about the same as they go for on eBay so I could always sell after if needed.
 
last week of july , I am looking at the nikon nut it is hard to part with that much for a lens i will not use often. Happy to borrow or buy. ( depending on price)
 
Focus point was on the aircon unit , I will test the lens over the weekend if it stops raining. The vr is very good though.

Low light under trees but ok I had a problem with the paint on the switch smearing so sent the lens back to nikon

Lens had firmware updated and was recalibrated but I have not had a chance to try it out since.
