I managed to do my first really real bit of wildlife photography this weekend...



I'm rather impressed with my lense, it's the 18-200mm VRII and had considered getting the 18-300 VR lense for the increased reach. This weekend had made me rethink things as what I really want is something with dedicated reach and a quick search reveals 400mm and above lenses for similar prices as the 18-300 but of course not always Nikon.

Question then, is there any recommended zoom lenses that will fit my camera and won't break the bank.. £600-1000 range?

Thanks in advance...
I was surprised to see that no recommend the new Nikon 200-500 lens which is said to be hands down a better lens than the tamron for only few dollars more. I am also looking for more reach for wildlife photography. Currently I have D90 with 70-300 & a D7100 with a Nikon 300mm F4 & 1.4 teleconverter. Currently looking at the new Nikon 200-500mm as my 1.4 converter will work with it. I love the 300 F4 but really want more reach for migrateing eagles & osprey that I am after☺
