Hey Andy, This is like a recurring theme. Should be a Nikon Lens FAQ or something. Have to agree with Nik, think the 300 F4 with a <acronym title="Air Tanzania">TC</acronym> would be a great addition to your 70-200 and compliment the range nicely. But, as Winston points out, you'd be remiss in not a...

Jump to postHey Dana! Thanks again for getting back! I left the initial version in the Q with the color corrections by Thierry. Agree the colors look far better on it.

Jump to postHey guys! Only regarding photo 1, the arrival shot. Had some extra time and wanted to try a different approach on the edit and have incorporated Thierry's feedback on sharpening and color cast.

Jump to postGood morning! I've gone ahead and queued Thiery's edit of the arrival shot for brevity's sake, and I've reduced the amount of sharpening for the 2d sharpen pass: <a href="http://www.airliners.net/addphotos/big/ready/g1307569065.5555kornhl7611d.jpg" target="_blank">http://www.airliners.net/addphotos/...

Good thread. Faced a similar problem last fall after I sold off all my Canon gear. Ended up going with the D90 and the 70-300VR. The lens was a steal and I saved a ton of money and now I'm looking at augmenting it and conducting a similar review. Sharpness is the least of your concerns with the 70-3...

Jump to postIf you intend on experimenting a lot and are on a budget you can't beat the D90. Nikon noise handling is superb, and the D90 kit lens is probably one of the best kit lenses on the market (the 18-105). Throw in a Gorillapod and a shutter release cable for a few extra bucks and go nuts.
