I would like to buy a dedicated telephoto.
I am currently between the Nikon 70-300mm VR and the 80-200 f2.8. If I got the 80-200, then my max aperture would be 2.8 across the whole range, but its heaver, and I would have to buy the old (pre-afs) version to stay in my budget.
I would prefer to spend no more then $500.
edit - I would buy this:
http://www.keh.com/OnLineStore/Prod...BC=NA&BCC=1&CC=&CCC=&BCL=&GBC=&GCC=&KW=80-200
For $415 if I were to get the 80-200.
I'm also open to other suggestions (3rd party is fine but must be well regarded)
