Jay,

Really nice shooting, thanks!

Remindes me of the old days of offshore racing, Point Pleasant NJ, Ocean City MD, and Key West.

Miklos and Gary know how to run a boat in the rough. Straight, nose down, keep it in the water. Can't go anywhere when you are in the air! Nice job guys!

Most excellent images!

Thanks Jay, great shots!

Thank you, Steve. :drink:

I'll post any more if I find em... you guys weren't out there very long. :cool-smiley-011:

Got a few more.

Mike, I got the VR I version- looks brand new, very little use.
I'll take care of that 'new look' right quick. :drink:

Nice Jey, real nice!

Jay, you will love that 70-200 VRI. Very sharp and fast. I have had mine for a little over a year and is my favorite. It usually resides on my D-200

Try the Nikon 1.7 tel-extender. Makes the lens equivalent to a 120 - 340 and almost no loss in image quality. You do lose some speed but it still works out to f 4.8.

Again thanks for the great pics,

Thanks, Padraig! So far, I am totally impressed with it- can't wait to try it in a non-rain environment. Imax and Shaun K have been pushing me for months to get it, and some great friends in the offshore community helped make it happen after I destroyed my other mid-range. The teleconverter is next. :drink:

70 to 200 vr1 is a awesome lens i would love to get one , from what i am reading there is not much difference in the VR2 verson
