I have a Nikon 80-400mm VR and use it on a D300. It\'s the lens I hate to love. It has a lot going for it for what you want though. It will go to 400mm, the VR actually works, the zoom range is very convenient, and the lens is relatively compact. I leave my Nikon 70-200mm f2.8 VR at home on overseas trips because it\'s so bulky and doesn\'t have the reach. Another thought is the Sigma 50-500mm OS, but I\'m not sure how it performs at 500mm. Some way it\'s soft, some say it\'s great.
