[QUOTE="pforsell, post: 612009, member: 7240"] That lens is the AF-S version, which was the predecessor to the AF-S 70-200/2.8 VR. It is a good lens and focuses fast and accurately. The down side is that the AF-S motor is bound to die some day (that lens is 20 years old). It can last 20 more years, it can be dead before thanksgiving. Try KEH. They are very reputable, offer good return policy and have very conservative lens evaluations. You'd be hard pressed to tell a new lens from KEH's "excellent" or "very good." Sometimes even teir "bargain" rated lenses are in superb condition, imho. I have bought from them twice in the past and had the goods sent to Europe. Highly recommended.
