[QUOTE="hark, post: 656831, member: 13196"] I forgot about one being DX and the other FX. I had the 55-200mm VR (DX) which I'm assuming is similar in IQ to your 55-300mm. There was such a huge difference between my 55-200mm VR (DX) and my 70-300mm VR (FX) that I never went back to the DX. I hope you didn't take my post as being critical...if you did, my sincere apology! I know how much you like to shoot. It took me a very long time to make the decision to sell some of my things. Even now there are lenses I don't use, yet I am hesitant to let them go. Maybe because I have such good memories using them. Since I had surgery on my right elbow many years ago, I don't like to carry really heavy lenses. Personally I wouldn't want to carry your 70-200mm VR. I have my own 70-200mm (that and my 300mm f/4 are close in weight). I feel for you! My only other suggestion would be to check out a holster if you decide to take that lens. I use a Think Tank belt and holster which is far more comfortable than a backpack or wearing the camera with a shoulder strap. Tough choice for sure! [/QUOTE]
