Yes thats the problem isn't it. If you rely on auto and it lets you down and you only find out after the event - that would be annoying.
Thanks for the info on setups. Some interesting data here.
I am thinking then my TEC110 at 613mm could be handy with a 40D that works so well on it. Then a 150 to 200mm lens on the D800E. Leave it on manual mode, focus and turn the autofocus off, and handle the ISO and exposure times manually. This is where being familiar with your camera will pay big dividends. Knowing where all the buttons are and how to adjust it quickly. Or use live view and you can see how its going to expose straight away.
