Specifically, the 70-200mm AF-S VR and the 80-200mm 2.8 AF ED.  This has been very frustrating, and I'll add, the AF Tuning feature on the D7000 does not correct enough.  I am looking for recommendations on which lens is BEST on the D7000 body at the longer focal ranges.  While I've always tried to stick with Nikkor, I am certainly open to recommendations anyone can make for other brands (Sigma, Tamron, other) if the outside ranges produce usable images.  So far, I have not owned a 200mm Nikkor that was worth the box it was shipped in.Many thanks!</blockquote>
