[QUOTE="rocketman122, post: 339514, member: 14443"] Nikon 70-200VR1 is 77mm not 67mm. its a big lens. long but slender compared to the thicker barrel VR2 or 80-200 AFS which is my favorite of all time. t-stop on all the nikon zooms is not what is marked. usually about f/3.2 aprx, even though its marked as 2.8. speed is very fast but depends on your camera to lock. some cameras are better than others, even though its AFS. the af module used is the difference. your low light might not be the low light that I consider low light so I dont know. but the Groom and bride slow dance is no problem when the lights are very dim. only reason I didnt move to the VR2 was the close focusing capability. not possible to compose extreme closeup (forehead to chin tight shooting landscape wise) all three lenses youre considering are excellent lenses. there is just very minute differences between them that you will only see when zooming and looking for it. in prints, you wont notice the difference and most likely, as with most of us, your technique is what will hold back the lens from showing its real potential. hand holding pretty much kills 15-20% of its real potential.
