[QUOTE="BackdoorArts, post: 176313, member: 9240"] I'm surely not saying the difference in price is not justified, or at least justifiable. What I am saying is that for my money and for my shooting there is nothing about the f2.8 that makes me feel that the f4 is a compromise. The weight factor alone would keep me from using the heavier lens at the music festival that I purchased this lens for. 10 day of walking around daily between 7 stages for 4 hours on week nights and 6-8 on weekends would kill me with the heavy lens - particularly on the D800, which I will likely use if only for the benefit of the extra pixels and crop factor options. Gear is only good when it's used, and this will see a lot more use. I hardly ever shoot wide open with the gear I have, so if I haven't been looking for that extra stop so far I am fairly sure that the occasions where I do in the future will be minimal at best.
