My 80-200 has dust particles inside the lens and I have to send it in to Nikon for repair. If you had to choose, do you repair the lens or upgrade to a 70-200vr? I like the 80-200 but would appreciate the faster focusing.
I agree with Al. The 70-200VR is an stelar lens and works really fine. The AF speed is very good. On the other hand I have read about some issues about its performance on a full frame D3 body regarding vignetting and image quality. Many rumours about the possibility of an upgrade of this lens by Nikon but you know... nothing for sure, just vaporware!
