Actually they quit making that MF lens in the 90's, the new one is AF-S with VR.
But I am happy with what I have right now anyway. (But I do have a birthday coming up soon????)

I have a trailer that MT Shooter can use till he gets something permanent figured out. I can get my hands on a burro to if need be.

If you owned the MF Nikkor Super telephoto Zoom lense 1200-1700mm f/5.6~8.0s P ED IF you could stay at home while shooting across the state lines http://www.mir.com.my/rb/photography/companies/nikon/nikkoresources/zoomsMF/12001700mm.htm

Like I used to tell customers when selling a .50cal. BMG bolt-action rifle: "You can sit up on the hill and shoot into 17 ZIP Codes."

Just in time for the Olympics...but you can't have one. They will probably be a few in Beta test in London.

Hey MT Shooter,

I still have that Nikor 800mm f5.6, MF, for sale if you are interested. I'll give you a good deal on it.

Thanks, but I got a refurbished Sigma AF 800mm F5.6 from the factory in Japan in April. Wonderful lense!

MT Shooter,

Copy that! I purchased a Sigma 150mm-500mm a little while ago for a wildlife shoot. The images came out okay, if you're interested i posted them on UHH with my review. It's a good value for the price. My next lens is the Nikor 200mm-400mm. Still waiting for my D800.
