@nprofile1q... it is good fun and only kind of expensive if you buy everything used instead of really expensive when buying new. Even something from like 2008 can beat the shit out of most smartphones lol
I opted to go for the non vr version of the af-p 70-300 because Nikon is retarded and only put switches for vr on the full frame version of the lens but didn't update any pre-2016 cameras to let you switch it off. For what I use it for (planes and sometimes birds) I'm going to be shooting at like 1/1000 99% of the time so I figure the lack of vr really doesnt matter (and might actually be detrimental because of how its apparently useless with high shutter speeds and tripods)
