This is going to be a big investment for me. As I pointed out in another thread, I currently have a D80. I'm trying to get into more wild life photography and I need something with a good zoom on it. I have read some pretty good reviews on this lens so I've been searching for a opportunity to buy used.

I'd upgrade the body as well, as you'll want faster AF for the type of things you'll be shooting with that lens. The lens is razor sharp, but is very heavy.

I have friends that own the Nikon AF-S NIKKOR 200-400mm f/4G ED VR. It is a great lens. They love it, swear by it ... worship it. Also difficult to find used. You might check at Adorama and see if they have any refurbished units ... could drop them an email and ask them to notify you if they receive one.

This lens is freakin' expensive, but a great lens.

Personally I'd love one, but can't afford it.

If Nikon just could make a 400 5.6 VRII cheap... LOL
