[QUOTE="Rick M, post: 132911, member: 4399"] In considering the various 70-200 zooms, I really want great out of focus backgrounds, so the natural conclusion is an f2.8. The Nikon 70-200 f4 came along with it's nice compact size and excellent reviews which of course, has me thinking. Can I live with f4 and how much is the difference really? My longest lens now is the 105, so I tested the two stops to see if there was much difference. I figured this would at least take the aperture variable out of the equation and some of you may have been thinking about this also. I realize no two lenses are the same but at least I could expose the difference to help me decide. Here's two crops, you tell me, BTW, the "spots" are snowflakes :( [ATTACH type="full" width="60%"]31689._xfImport[/ATTACH] [ATTACH type="full" width="60%"]31690._xfImport[/ATTACH] I have decided on a 2.8 [/QUOTE]
