[QUOTE="Phillydog1958, post: 138001, member: 8704"] You're wanting to switch from a Nikon 70-200 f2.8 to something else. I can appreciate your concern about weight. It's got girth and length, but short of having some physical limitation that could hinder me from using such a lens as the Nikon 2.8, I don't think I would want any other lens within that focal range, or even near it. If I owned that lens, I'm not sure any other zoom would suffice. You own the GRANDDADDY of zoom lenses . . . :D I recently purchased the f4 version and love it. It's a superior lens, but . . . The 2.8 is special and in a class of it's own. I also have the 70-300. It's another good lens, but . . .:) I guess if I had to offer you a suggestion, I'd recommend the Nikon 70-200 f4. Good luck.
