Hi gents
When i first read the thread title i thought you said 200mm f2.8, so i thought id contribute, then opened the thread and was 70-200 2.8.
What i was gonna say was the 200mm 2.8 is a fantastic lens, i wish i still had it, circumstances forced me to part. I now have a 70-200 F4 non is and although excellent quality i dont get the same "feel" So maybe you could consider this lens and save you a heap of money.
