[QUOTE="NVSteve, post: 131479, member: 13248"] "Polycarbonate build not quite as sturdy or weather-resistant as Nikon and Canon lenses" That's an interesting comment. I don't remember which website published the article, but they took apart the Nikon 70-200 VRII and found the only sealing it had was the O-ring on the mount. Sorry, Nikon fans. Here are a few more reviews, some including sample images. Like any other lens out there, some say 200mm is great, some say the opposite.
