[QUOTE="Craig Dodd, post: 162785, member: 4127"] [b]Re Lens Question[/b] Len, Thanks for the feedback on the 200-400 VR Nikon. Several of the local professional wildlife photographers use it and have nothing but praise for it. I have one on order and the dealer said that they normally take about a month. Which, as you stated, should put me in just about the peak of the rut in Yellowstone Park. I do intend to primairly shoot photos of mammals with some birds thrown in. I was glad to hear your feelings about the 1.4x Nikon telextender. I have used the old TC-200 Nikon telextender in the past but never had a top line lens to attach it to. The way I originally posted this thread seemed to exclude everyone but Len and that was not my intention. If any other list members are serious big game photographers I would like to hear your opinions on what to take in the field too. Is anyone else using the Wimberley gimbals-style tripod head? Experiences both good/bad using monopods? Len - I hope that your stay in Rocky Mountain NP has been time well spent - sort of like the old saw on fishing where the worst day fishing was better than the best day in the office. Now that I am retired, I am hoping to spend more time in the field... Thanks, Craig Dodd in SE Idaho [/QUOTE]
