Hello, fellow Nikon users,
I am a new member in this site and new to bird watch and photography, I have read many of the posts in this Nikon forum. And found them to be very informative and helpfull. Hope you can give me some ideas on the questions that I have.
I have just added the D200 to my Nikon equipment list.
But the longeest telephoto that I own is the 70-200 f2.8 VR , which I understand is not really enough for what I am about to step into, that is taking photos of Birds.
I do have the TC14 teleconverter also, which effectively turns my 70-200 to a 280 lens (i think), with the 1.5 crop factor of the D200, that will make it a 420 mm lens.
my question to all you experts are:
What would be a good lens for me to consider as a good starting point for bird and nature Photography ??
Thanks in advance for your help.
