[QUOTE="DW_, post: 50738, member: 8667"] You know, I went and looked at a 1 yr old 70-200mm VRII last Thursday. The woman wanted $2k for it and it was in immaculate condition. I ponder it that afternoon and although an "okay" deal, I decided at that price I couldn't do it. Yes, it was a wonderful lens and built like a tank and if I didn't already have this 70-300mm, I think I would have jumped on it. I kept thinking about the reason the woman was selling hers. She said she found she was not using it nearly as much as she thought she would. That seemed to resonate with me. Typically when I'm using a large zoom I'm busting thru bushes and climbing up hills and the last thing I would want is to worry about this super expensive lens dangling around my neck not to mention the extra weight it would place on me. So I decided instead of buying it, I'd put this 70-300mm thru the ringer and if/when it stops making me happy I'll replace it with the better lens. [/QUOTE]
