[Lance Peters]

Thanks Alfred - I find myself looking for this look more and more, I am starting to be ale to see it before and as I take the shot. Have so many shots to work through and choose a the moment that I have stopped taking shots on the way to work until I get back up to speed.

Great shot Lance. Excellent sharpness considering the 1.7 tele. Is this a beautiful lens? I need to get the 1.7. Great image.

Super wonderful! Good going Lance

Hi Oscar - contarary to what you read on the net - I find the Nikon 70-200VR to be exceptional even on the D3 - AF is slowed a little with the 1.7 converter, but very little loss of image quality in my opinion.BIF'S might be a bit of a challenge though due to the slower AF.

Thanks Nonda :)
