Is there a L.A. group here for those who are Lens-aholics?
Keep wanting more and more lenses in my kit bag (now kit drawer).
No I have not master the last lens I bought, or the one before that, nor the one before that. . . .
BUT still I keep looking at lenses? I need a 12 step program.
. . .
the latest object of desire is the 80-200mm F/2.8
I read such good things about this lens.
Makes my 70-210mm feel so inadequate. Ten mm longer and ten mm shorter but somehow less of a lens.
I've read about the various renditions of this lens, and from what I've read they are all good. The more modern AF-S would work on both my D600 and D5200, the venerable (read older) AF-D would not AF on the D5200 but would on the D600.
I guess my questions to the group is this: What can I expect in terms of benefit of the big 80-200 over my older, smaller (and slower) 70-210.
Lower light capacity (although with ISO capacity of D600 is this as big of a benefit as it used to be?).
Beautiful boekh balls?
Increased biceps from carrying around much heavier lens?
Improved I.Q. (which I suppose it the ultimate reason but will I see the difference? Can you see the difference?)
