Well there was back order on this one so I bought a more expensive one with a backrest and a higher weight rating! I just got it and yes it seem like it should work great, though the triangle shaped seat seemed a little strange at first, but much easier to lean forward in! 
So I'd say I'm satisfied! It will make a good fishing chair too! Lol

Congrats. That is a very good price for a mint one. I looked at a mint condition lens in this focal length with constant f/4 (it was a push/pull zoom), but it was $199. I passed on it as I didn't need it--the test shots were terrific.

I picked up one of the F4-5.6 ones a couple of months ago, and they are an inexpensive addition (got mine for less than $100 but it did not include the hood or lens bag).
It is a fun lens and I like it. Does the fixed F4 also have that cool push-pull zoom?

Looking at reviews I think you are right about that. The F4-5.6D is actually a 'newer' lens and the constant F4 much rarer. According to Ken Rockwell the F4 was only produced for 18 months. While the next rendition the F4-5.6AF was described as "the smaller, slower and cheaper 70-210mm f/4-5.6 AF" he does give a rave review of the F4-5.6"D" version. He did warn of some issues with some of the F4's so hopefully your lens does not suffer from the issues he describes. Nikon 70-210mm f/4 Review
I know that Rockwell has his distractors but as a novice in this field I kinda like his straight forward approach but have learned not to believe everything I read on line. I hear what he says and move on to see what others say and form my own thoughts based on the general consensus if one exists.

Ron, that is just the lens... I wanted it for:
A. Storage
B. Transport (I have a bag holds my camera with 300 and a 2nd lens such as 18-105)
Regarding B: above, I carry camera with a lens in the bag for transport, 2nd lens if I may need. This allows me to carry/transport the Beast and change to it if an occasion occurs.. Otherwise, if JUST Beast, I carry cam & lens on my body without case...

Just got back from Seattle and picked up these two for my 7100, a nifty 50 and a Sigma 50-150 2.8. The Sigma was used and I got a great price, but the 50 is new.
