My, that first bloke is a sexy beast! :shock: :P

And damn that 70-200 VR is sharp. I'll post some images that I took with it later, but I can't believe how sharp it is. Did you feel the need to apply any sharpening/USM to the 70-200 Vr pics? I didn't...

MCWB,
I think your 80-200 will be sharp like that also! It's a very good Nikon glass.

I had the chance to play with an older (full metal) 80-200 that my 2nd cousin owns... It was one of those push-pull zoom ones... Awesome! I will post some images I took with it some time...

It was over 10 years old and in immaculate condition

The 80-200 is 90% as sharp as the 70-200. But it's worse in certain areas where the 70-200 really shines.

MHD - did you deliberately puff up and redden the eyes that little Jewish boy? ;)

As you can see, I was very interested in the 70-200 VR. Scott, if you'd prefer me to move these to another thread, PM me and I'll do so. :)
