Grays of Westminster's have a 500mm f/4P IF-ED Nikkor AIS for £2495 or a 600mm f/4 Nikkor IF-ED AIS for £1995. These are manual focus lenses.

They also have a 500mm f/4D AF-S IF-ED Nikkor II (lightweight) for £4695 or a 600mm f/4D AF-S II IF-ED Nikkor at £4995 both auto focus lenses. These are lighter than the AIS versions and may also be water protected.

They also have a 400mm f/2.8D AF-S IF-ED Nikkor Auto focus lens for £3995. I have the AIS version of this lens but it weights 6.3kg and I can't take it out in wet weather. I would consider the 400mm F2.8 and use a 1.4 converter to give me a 540mm F4 or a 2x converter to give me a 800mm F5.6. I use both of these with my 400mm F2.8 AIS lens with great results.  :tup:

After deciding which lens to buy, you need to phone Greys to order it. As Graham can confirm Greys give a top flight service, only sell Nikon gear and have a vast knowledge of Nikon lenses.  ;D

Incidentally. You do know we're talking telephoto here, not zoom.  ;)
