Have just parted ways with my beloved 300f/2.8 VR (for a 200-400VR), and I'll miss the great bokeh that it delivered. :cry:

It is a great lens, there is no doubt about the. But I am sure you will also love the 200-400 just as much.

Sure the 300mm f2.8 is a great lens but I don't exactly feel sad for you :roll:

I'm sure you will get some great results with the new replacement. :)

great photos,

cheers,

André

And why wouldn't you miss it? It is a cracker of a lens. I guess the 200-400 softened the blow though :wink: :D
