[QUOTE="Whiskeyman, post: 262478, member: 13556"] Jet Jockey, Initially, I thought you were discussing the 300 mm f2.8 VRII version of this lens. Based upon their 70-200 lens offerings, I guess that the VR version of the 300mm f4 would cost about one-half of the price of the f2.8 version. I also assume it would be based upon their VRII design, and I'm willing to bert that would be a wonderful lens optically. I'm not a pro, far from it, but I do have a specific need for the f2.8 version of the 300. I can't afford it now, but I'm planning to buy a copy by late August or early September of this year. I shoot moving subjects under less than optimum lighting, and the VR just won't stop action like an 2.8 will. Otherwise, I'd save the cash and go with the f4 version, as well. BTW, nice name. Are you flyer? WM [/QUOTE]
