Thanks for sharing your experience and advice. I'll add the 300/f4 to my camera bag. Happy shooting.

Hi,
I'm looking for a longer lens. And I'm thinking 300/f4 or 80-400
VR. What do you think after hearing my requirements?
Image quality is my first requirement. Then the range, then the
price/quality factor.
I first tried the 70-300mm f/4.0-5.6D ED, and found the images too
soft @ 300mm. Second, 300mm is not quite enough in some
situations.
I consider the VR because, well it goes to 400. Also, I won't have
to carry the 80-200/f2.8. However, are the images stark sharp in 300-
400 range? For those who own the VR, do you still keep the 80-
200/f2.8?
I consider the 300/f4 because it might produce sharper images. I
know 1.4 teleconverter is a good add-on, but I don't plan to get it
asap.
If I see a side-by-side image comparison, that'll be great. I've
searched the archive and didn't find the exact answer to my
question. If you can share user experience, I'd really appreciate
it.

I want to buy a Nikon SB-28 for macro & portraits. Then I learned
it's replaces by SB-80DX. Could anyone share some experience? Pros
& Cons? I'd especially appreciate a comparison between SB-28 and SB-
80DX. If SB-28 turns out to be better, I can still buy it on grey
market. Thanks in advance.

thanks to everyone! For dr5, do you send it to dr5.com via mail? I live in Seattle and wonder if any local lab can handle it.

Instead of shooting @ 80 and push 2 stop during processing, can I simply shoot @ 20?

Has anyone succesfully cross-processed B&W film into slides? Any
advice will be appreciated.
So far I found one answer:
"I do a lot of B&W slide stuff, and I find that Ilford XP2, exposed
at 80 ISO and push processed by two stops (E6-P2) makes superb
slides. The other alternative is Kodak release positive (Eastman) but
it's very slow, at about 1SO, and processed in D-19.

Though I understand the process, I don't fully understand why. Has
anyone tried that?
Thanks,
what has this site become?

In the past 6 months, this site has becoming increasing
disappointing. To start, the forums. Very often, an innocent thread
becomes a personal attack. Then the photo critique. Again and
again, I find irresponsible critiques. I have to say photosig is a
much better place, at least for the serious photographers.
