Good point, dcbear78. Eight photos have been posted in the gallery called "Early Photos with AF-S 200-500mm F5.6 Zoom."

Thanks for the responses!
I found the 200-500mm available at nikonusa.com a couple of weeks ago, so made the purchase. So far, I have used it primarily to photograph bald eagles, swans, and small birds near home and in the Mississippi River valley, which is an hour away. The results have been quite good, but I need more practice.
While the lens is large and heavy, it handles well and is not too difficult to carry over long distances when tucked into a folded elbow.
#34090 Nikon Refurbished Lenses--Worth it?

Hi Bob,
I recently started to convert from Pentax to Nikon. To save some money, I purchased a refurbished AF-S 70-200mn F4 about two weeks ago. The order process was easy, the shipping was fast, and the lens was expertly packed. The 90 day warranty was the only downside. But, in my case, I have no qualms about purchasing even used lenses on eBay, as long as it can be returned to the seller, the seller is rated 99.8 or higher, and the lens is in near-mint condition and is priced significantly lower than a new model.
The comfort with the warranty situation is something only you can decide. In my case it was worth it to save $300.
