[QUOTE="Geoffc, post: 304712, member: 8705"] I think it really comes down to this. The 70-200 is about as good as it gets in terms of clarity and bokeh on a zoom. However, it's heavy and expensive by comparison to a 28-300 and the best lens is the one you have and actually take out. I often use my 24-120 rather than 70-200 because the former is convenient and easy, so it's the best lens in that situation. On the other hand, when I do use the 70-200 I ask myself why I ever take it off the camera. In a few weeks we are doing a 3 week trip in the states. I did think about getting the 28-300 and I'm sure I would have had some great results, but I would always have wondered what they would have been like with the 70-200 given that this is one of those trips we probably won't repeat. I ended up buying a bigger bag rather than the other lens. I know this ramble of mine probably doesn't help, it's just my thoughts on the pros and cons. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk HD [/QUOTE]
