NOTE - I filmed this before I left, and edited it 10 days into my Ethiopia trip. Sadly, but that point my 200mm f2 has stopped autofocussing (seems functioning otherwise) and the 15-30mm zoom mechanism isn't smooth.... Both will need servicing.

BIG THANKS to Nikon Professional Services USA & Japan. USA contacted the Japanese team and they are loaning me a replacement 200mm lens for the duration of the trip. I will get my own one serviced once I return to USA.
