if I could afford the new 400mm i would own in. after shooting the 500mm f4 vr at 8.5 lbs handheld a lot, the new 400 is 8.2 lbs and shorter, it would be great to handhold a 2.8 400mm lens.
it should still be decent with a 2x converter at 800mm. as even older 300mm 2.8 do pretty good, but obviously it will really shine with the new 14 iii
as far as comparing the Nikon 200-400 to any of the primes i wouldn't even bother, stick with a 300, 400, 500, or 600.
i guess it comes down to what you shoot, i think a 300 or 400 is nice if you want a good MFD and don't just shoot small birds. with the new tc14e iii, i think it may bring out more people using say the 400mm and the new tc14e iii and possibly a d7100 to still have great reach, but the also being able to slap the 400mm on a ff body like the d4 or d800 and cut the reach in half. that is what i am doing now with my 300mm, but maybe in a few years when these new 400mm start showing up used i may have a good reason to upgrade....Show more →
well, someone just educated me on the weight. :-) wow, the new 400/f2.8 is lighter than the current 500/f4. it's time to start stacking converters...
