[QUOTE="Geoffc, post: 102461, member: 8705"] I have the 70-200 VR II and recently did exactly this comparing it to the arguable better 70-300 VR. I was considering getting the latter as my wife has one. After cropping the 70-200 images to the same size as the 70-300 (at 300mm) I concluded that it wasn't worth me having the 70-300 as well. The two lots of images where comparable. When the D800 arrives the cropping will make this even better. I suppose from your perspective you will be lucky to see something that justifies the huge price of the 70-200, unless you use it for other things in which case it's awesome. [/QUOTE]
