VR who needs VR? Get a tripod and it works for all lenses. I have a Nikon 400mm f2.8 AFS ED which you can purchase. Nice price.

The latest 70-300 VR is very good I have one. The 400 will go to Mifsuds or FixationUK in the new year.

I find the 70-300VR is prone to vignetting at the long end, I keep reverting to the AI 300-f/2.8 MF, heavy as it is. It's way better than the zoom and pretty easy to focus. Would be a dream on a Z6 with IS and viewfinder magnification.

most manual focus lenses work extremely well on the micro four thirds bodies rob , as they only use the central part of the lens .. as with everything price is the deciding factor

I haven't checked prices recently but I expect the old 'P' lenses will have plummeted in price alongside the older bodies to make really good lenses available to anyone who needs them at a reasonable price. I have called a halt to anything longer than 300mm if it's not long enough, I walk, either towards the subject or away, to find something closer to photograph. Do you still get down to the Little Tern colony where we met? I enjoyed that day.

Rarely go there these days as you can no longer park in the holiday camp ,which involves a much longer walk from the village . But I do now visit a very small local reserve about a mile away where we get birds in within a few feet of us , sometimes even in the hide ,but don't tell graham and Eric , Wales is crowded enough

 I did wonder how long the parking arrangements would last. Money, money, money.
