[QUOTE="Jonas Grumby, post: 432058, member: 36131"] I also have both the 17-35mm f/2.8 and the 80-200mm f/2.8 and I have been happy with both of them. It's true though that it's better to have some kind of camera support (tripod, monopod, etc.) with the 80-200. I'm thinking about selling the 80-200 and getting the 80-400, mainly because 200 is not really that long for my longest lens, and I want the VR functionality. I'm also interested in the new 55-200mm f/4-5.6G ED VR II as a mid-range zoom for people/portraits. I have the "screw type" 80-200. I don't think I would like a push/pull lens. The difference is that with screw type, you rotate a ring on the barrel of the lens to zoom, and on the push/pull, you pull a ring toward you or push it away. You can see pictures of them both on ebay. [/QUOTE]
