Yeah I'm hearing ya. If it wasn't for the fast action shots I want I would buy the new Nikon 18-300 VR lense and that would be it

so my new lens turns up Monday - just a bit excited at my first 'fast' lens

Thats on my shopping list next .The Nikon 18-300 that is.

Good luck with your new toy. Dont wear it out too soon

So I have called my new lens Sherman because it's built like, weighs like andis as heavy as .................. a tank.

Initial thoughts, ifthis it the old model the new one must be awesome because I am over the moon with this one

Enjoy the new toy.

I would recommend a monopod (and quick release clamp) be put on the christmas list if you don't have one.

If you think it's fast I can vouch for both generations of the 70-200 as even better and then there is the 300mm f/2.8G VRII and above which truly are awesome
