[QUOTE="Brian, post: 227758, member: 17621"] Take some pictures that represent your preferred use of the lens. I go to a local Historic site, or a Museum. Makes a good outing. Shoot familiar "static" scenes with different lenses. Sometimes I bring a couple of lenses and make the rounds to get an extended walk in. Then you can compare the shots, see which you prefer. There is a lot more to a lens than just sharpness, and color rendition can easily be tweeked in post-processing. If you ever see the Af-Nikkor 200/3.5ED and AF-Nikkor 80/2.8 in a used shop, they will not work on your camera- nor any Nikon Digital SLR. The electrical contacts are different. [/QUOTE]
