They do not >presently make a 280 lens. They call the 300 2.8 a 300, but it is in acutality a 280mm lens. Lots of lenses are different focal lengths than what the number engraved on the barrel says. Kind of like rounding up to make it sound like the competition. Most 300 2.8s are in fact 280mm lenses. Only the AF-S version of the Nikon is truly a 300mm 2.8 lens in the Nikon line since way back. ========== Eric Welch St. Joseph, MO http://www.ponyexpress.net/~ewelch If there's one thing I can't stand, it's intolerance.
