A lot of old friends seen there. I still regret having sold my 300/2 Nikkor. I was young and foolish back then, apparently :D The 1200-1700 is a lens I sometimes wish I had access to when my 360-1200 has too "little" reach.

A pity they are given such inadequate tripod support, though.

Dear Michio Akiyama,

Thank you so much for sharing this event! I thoroughly enjoyed the series of photos with a huge smile on my face.
Yes, the 1200-1700 is something to for the next NG photo race through The Hague.
I see myself walking through the city with it until I get arrested :D

Bjørn. you might have wanted to participate with your 1200 and 800 "ED" for the focusing unit which seems to lack at the event?   :o :o :o

Thank you so much, Michio, for posting this.
You put a smile in my face and made me very jealous of all those gems.

Bjørn,

I am surprised that there is a Nikon optic that you do not have !  Last time I was up at your place you certainly did have a very, very long one.

Could have contributed as well, Big-Glass Tele do not easily travel in numbers
What a pity that they evidently just playing as there is systematically too weak tripod support, wrong tripods and heads plus extended (!) central column!

Anyone using these lenses for real shooting knows only too well how badly in need of good support they are all of them. Tiny toy-like tripods and raised centre column can never bode anything good for the outcome in terms of image quality.

Paul: my longest is "only" the 360-1200 Nikkor :D. However, the 800/8ED is almost as long as this is not a telephoto design.
