Advice for a long focus lens for D700 for travel
#36
[quote name='Frank' timestamp='1299906083' post='6685']

(1) AF 180mm f2.8 IF-ED. Its optical quality is super, the weight is reasonable. It cannot zoom, but this is probably not a big problem. However, the 180mm f2.8 is already covered by the 80-200mm f2.8, so having the 180 appears not to add anything to my lens set except a relatively light long focus prime.

But won't a lens that you'll have with you be better than one you'll leave at home? <img src='http://forum.photozone.de/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='Smile' />



Also why not consider the following lens:

http://www.sigmaphoto.com/shop/150mm-f28...acro-sigma



It's based on one of the best Sigma lenses (150mm f/2.8 macro) and now it has stabilisation too. Plus it'll focus 1:1 if you need macro. And 150mm is a good focal length between your 80-200.
