D200 and 17-55 2.8 DX arrived within a hour of each other yesterday.

Just finished reading the manual cover to cover. Do you think they could've made the print any smaller! I might have to upgrade to longer lenses in my eyes if they go any smaller.

A couple of questions:

What is the aperture "sweet spot" for the 17-55?

Is the D200 light meter good enough to use without a separate light meter?

Is it worth it to buy another SB800 for multiple strobe shots?

I'll be shooting a lot of offshore fishing photos (50+ days a year) with the 17-55. How long would you think the 17-55 will last before the salt renders it useless? In the past, I would buy a cheaper lens for around $300-$400 and use it on my F4 until it was junk.
 
That's an expensive collection of gear to bring to such a harsh environment, but if that's what pays the bills then you do what you have to do. The equipment is a tool to an end and in a way is expendable.
 
I agree - if you're going to be out there regularly I'd invest in an underwater enclosure. Not cheap, but a lot cheaper than replacing the camera [or the lens] in 2 years.
