<p>I finally decided for the 70-200 F/4. Very good critiques about that lens. In my case, this lens is mostly thought for landscape, to specified places to photograph in Torres del Paine where wildlife is scarce (up the mountains). But you never know some fox or similar which are sometimes very close, the 70-200 F/4 will help high up there. I will also save on weight, as my expeditions last some 5 weeks, priority is food. For real wildlife, further down on the valleys, I have the 120-400 Sigma, which I use with the Nikon 7000 (and very soon with the Nikon 7200). With the money saved, I think I will bjuy the 24 mm F1.4 of Sigma for landscape and night shots of milky way maybe with the Torres del Paine close by. Thanks for all your sugestions. Daniel B.</p>

<p>I only used new memory cards Lexar and Sun disk bought in B&H. But will try the trick to fool the lock. thanks for all your answers folk. Daniel B. </p>

<p>I have a complaint about the SD, SDHC memory cards. These cards have unfortunately a device called, as all know, the Built-in Write-Protect Switch. I have lost several of these cards, up to 16 GB, because the small switch falls off and the card is then unusable. Why these cards do not come without that switch?? It is pretty useless. If you want to protect a photo, you can do it in-camera. If you do not want to erase the cards by error, you can invent a system when you guard them. Compact Flash do not have any kind of protection. I only use San Disk and Lexar Cards and I am very careful when I enter them into the computer or into the camera. The industry should think about that. Thanks.</p>

<p>I have not thought about the 70-200 F/4 , and it is not a bad idea. Started to study the lens and to read the reviews. I do night photography, but I have other lenses for that such as the Samyang, and AIS manual lenses in the range between F/1.2 to F/2.8. Even for wildlife, the 70-200 F/4 might be better than its counterpart of F/2.8 especially for its weight and decent bokeh. Thanks so far for your comments.</p>

<p>I am about to buy a zoom lens for my NIKON DF and D800 bodies in the 70-200 mm range. Should I go for the NIKON 80-200 F/2.8 ED, the NIKON 70-200 F/2.8 ED VRII or the SIGMA 70-200 F/2.8 EX DG APO OS HSM? I uses them mostly for Landscape and also Wildlife. I know the 70-200 f/2.8 VRII is considerable more expensive than the other two, but also heard that the Sigma is superior to the 70-200 f/2.8 VRII in sharpnes. But also heard that the NIKON 80-200 F/2.8 ED could be very interesting, although it lacks VR, but with a tripod no problems or more ISO for wildlife. Thanks for your experience.

<p>At last. I have seen this early this morning at B&H. Definitly interested to buy it, I have the NIKON D7000 and at 300 ASA and more, much grain. Would be a nice change, above all with my Sigma 120-400 for fauna and landscapes.</p>

<p>I am very happy to to be an owner of a DF, the southernmost in the world maybe (Punta Arenas, Patagonia). The controls are very fast and handy and I love the thread for cable release on the ON button, with Mirror up to take low speed photos on the spot without the hassle of cables and others (All cameras should have that thread back). And also great to work with old AIS lenses.</p>
