I'd take F2.8 over VR and for panning you need a fast focus lens and both can do the job well i think

Nikon 70200 VR2 is godlike ady, can only compare it with Canon 70200 equivalent only. Non 3rd party lens can fight this two 1st party lens imo

but heard the sigma is not bad for its price (now increased already right?) and also heard the HSM can spoilt for no apparent reason

Last year took panning shot of F1 using 18105 kit only





It was alright i guess

Wow all so rich ady wanna get 70200, i can only afford 80200...2nd hand summore

Finally complete!



Just a mere cosmetic purpose though

I have a fetish with flower hood

Yeah need adapter, you can see in the full view pics the texture difference between the lens body and the hood mount area

Oh icic, didnt know that

Saw someone selling a rubber hood for 70200 in garage sales and from the looks of it the main advantage would be easy for storage I guess

IMO upgrade body first rather then get 70200. A body with motor gives you alot more option for lens upgrade later on, well thats my 2 cent

IMO get the 55-200mm or if you dont want the hassel to change lens, get 18-200mm

Boring spam



Taken from my hostel balcony, overlooking MRR2 using 80200

One day when i have enough monies im sure i'll upgrade to VR2 along side with 24-70mm. Two lens that i absolutely adore

I also student

Well dont think will upgrade anytime soon though

lol why's that boss?

IMO yes

Hahaha so true! not only the sharpness but the contrast aswell

Im still with D90, had the option to upgradet o D300s or D7000 but choose to buy lens instead

off topic
