Didn't you buy a Nikkor AF-S VR Zoom-NIKKOR 70-200mm f/2.8G IF-ED?

Still have it, or did you sell it/trade it?


Yessir. Still have it. Great lens! I assume you mean this one:"

Yeah, it is a great lens. I "tried one on," and the only downside seemed
to be its weight. It is one hell of a heavy piece of glass, must be
three times the weight of the 18-200. Do you walk around with it on the
camera, or do you just keep it in a camera bag and click it on when you
want to use it?


The latter. I don't take it on cruises either. Or on motorcycle trips.
