Current telephoto equipment is a Tokina 80-200 zoom f/4 lens and a Vivitar 
2X teleconverter.   If I interpret all the responses correctly, it sounds 
like perhaps I should start with what I have, since I apparently do not 
need the focal length that I thought was necessary.  I do know that at 
minimum I will have to purchase a new tripod, since the one I have is too 
light to hold 400 mm rock steady.
