Now i'm planning to use it for portraits a little bit more than before, and there its when i come to the doubt, because f/2.8 i nicer than f/4 for bokeh and portraits. I had an f/4 and I managed extremely well, mine didnt have VR,  and I didnt need it because it was a light lens. I wanted to get a 2.8, but maybe there are more situations in which i take advantage of VR and AFS than f/2.8, it's a difficult decision. I think it might be difficult to handhold a 80-200mm without VR and get good pics with it when shooting slower than 1/250. I'd really appreciate help from someone who has had the chance to experience this difference, as I've only had an f/4 and no 2.8s.</p></blockquote><p></p>
