From: utzoo!decvax!harpo!npoiv!npois!cbosgd!djb Newsgroups: net.rec.photo Title: 400mm tele query Article-I.D.: cbosgd.2447 Posted: Sun Jul 18 12:53:36 1982 Received: Mon Jul 19 00:57:44 1982 I'm very seriously considering purchase of a very long (>= 400mm) telephoto lens. The farily inexpensive models (like the Spiratone 400 f/6.3 at <$100) are quite attractive, as are the slightly more expensive, but likely superior models like Tokina's 400mm f/5.6 (at $170.00). Any comments, reccommendations, suggestions or warnings on either specific lenses or manufacturers/suppliers would be appreciated.

Hearing about a wonderful model from Nikon isn't going to be much help to me, although I'll wager other folks would like to hear it...
