[QUOTE="Whiskeyman, post: 151328, member: 13556"] I use mine for photographing the local high school band during football season. Sometimes the light is so bad that even 1.8 wouldn't help. I then have to jack the ISO up, and without VR, I use a Bogen (now Manfrotto) monopod. At a certain point, the autofocus really has a hard time, and hunts for the focus. I then go to single-point focus or manual focus to keep going. While it would be nice to have a 70-200 with the VR, I can't say that it would be that much better. The one time I used a friends 70-200 VR, we had plenty of light. I don't know how the D200 and D90 compare as far as autofocus speed under low light levels. Good luck. WM [/QUOTE]
