I use a CHEAP 70-300 on the Nikon and am happy with it, gets good reach and AF for less than $100 ... so lng have you have a steady arm ;-) None of the above is a match for my former 4/3 50-200 ZD Oly, but this is another story. Hope this helps AMiti?s Philippe Le 4 nov. 12 ? 03:54, Phil Forrest a ?crit : > I see there are two Leica R versions of the tele-zoom in the 70-200 > range.
