Hi Everyone, I am interested in anything about the Nikon D800. I am going to Thailand in January and looking for a good telephoto and suggestions? 70-300mm

Welcome Carson -
I have the 610 and recently acquired the 28-300mm f/3.5-5.6G ED VR which IMO is an excellent all-around lens. It gives me the coverage from landscape to various street shooting to closeups on the far away subjects...
I've been carrying various lens with me to cover all I want to do. Now I can do the same with this 1 lens and enjoy less weight and only one set of filters... I'm good to go.
And here's a couple of links to help you navigate the forum and a couple of resources to hopefully answer your questions or guide you in your quest...
Ask away and post away - looking forward to seeing some photos.
Hope this helps...

A moderarely priced walk-around lens of exceptional quality/sharpness that approaches 300mm is the tamron 18-270 mm.

I'll second that one. The 28-300 is my walkaround lens for my D800.
I haven't been to Thailand (would love to go!), but I think of temples and architecture, landscapes and seashores. I think the 70-300 is too limiting on the short end. The 28-300 is a little heavy but it would be the only lens you need to take.

The 18-270 is a DX (crop sensor) lens.
Not for a full-frame camera like the D800.
