[QUOTE="Fortkentdad, post: 451314, member: 24285"] I've been thinking of getting one of these. I still have about $250 sitting as a credit at "The Camera Store" And they sell this lens for $500. So I'm already half way there. I do have a vintage sigma 100-300. I try and coax good images out of that old lens - I'm not good enough to do that most of the time. I also have a vintage nikkor 70-210. I get good images from that old push-pull lens. I actually like it. But is is a little short. And no VC (or anything else invented since about 1990). And I really really want a 70-200 F/2.8 really. But I don't want to spend the $1,500 needed to get one of those babies right now. So - do I satisfy my lens lust and pick up this fine bit of glass? Or do I wait for what I want, what I really really want. ..... I tempt myself to get this one by saying it won't really be redundant with the 2.8 70-200 when I get it. And i say I can sell these older lenses .... (I've never sold a lens yet). Hmmmmmmmmmmmmm Tell me again, how wonderful is this lens? Does it give you great boekh when doing a portrait? [/QUOTE]
