70-200 FL @200mm f/2.8 quite close to the subject. The 300mm PF let you stand away a bit from this guy doing his scary mating dance thing. Still pretty sharp result. 300mm PF + TC-14e III gives some really neat closeup possibilities as well. Let us know what you take. Lovely images, Rico. I think it will be the 300!On paper, the new Nikon 70-200mm f/2.8E FL VR looks stunning – its MTF charts look better than pretty much any other 70-200mm f/2.8 lens on the market and being a lighter and sharper lens than its predecessor, as well as not having focus breathing issues, certainly make it a top choice for many types of photography.
