I always wanted the 80-400 and instead bought the Sigma version as it performed just as well as the Nikon old version. I also campaigned for the Nikon 80-400 f4-5.6 AF VR to be upgraded from just AF VR to AFS VR but when it came Nikon hiked the price so it was not what I considered to be good value.

I have Sigma 12-24 f4.5-5.6, Nikon 24-70 f2.8 AFS, 70-200 f2.8 AFS VR, and would like to add the Nikon 200-500 f5.6 AFS VR.
This completes a fantastic zoom range and I also have some fast prime lenses.

I have in the last few years become more disenchanted with new offerings from Nikon in the camera bodies. I would currently probably consider the D7200 as a replacement for my D300 but it has the same issues as the D750 regarding the accessories it uses are all via the new usb-like connector rather than the 10pin connector found on the D810 and D4S.
