For your interest here are some photos with a stellar combination, the D800e & 70-200 VR II (hand held as I rarely use a tripod).It was an unseasonably warm and snow free mid December day, perfect for a three hour walk in this park that is the Toronto Zoo to see the animals still on display outside.http://jbipix.com/?s=d800e+70-200 - posted on Friday, December 14, 2012 at JBIPix.comAlso at the URL
