Re: AF-S NIKKOR 120-300mm f/2.8E FL ED SR VR is coming
I really love this focal length range and think it might be a sweet lens for a nature shooter who uses a 500PF as their long lens.
I think that I have a unique mindset when I shoot. I abhor leaving lenses home and like to take a simple kit that covers most of my shooting range. At the moment, I have a 14-30, 24-70, 70-200, 200-400, & 500PF. These are all great lenses, but impossible for me to carry as a kit for more than a mile hike.
For my type of shooting and the bodies I use, a 120-300 f/2.8 could replace my 70-200 and 200-400. Were I to this, I could go anywhere with a single bag and meet my shooting needs. Sadly, at $10000, I am S.O.L.... as such, it does not matter how good the Nikon lens because it is twice the price of anything I would be willing to spend.
... I am now pondering a trade for the Sigma 120-300 Sport in order to create a one bag shooting kit.
cheers,
