Hi guys, I just had a couple quick question regarding the Nikon 55-200 Vr. I currently have an old 70-300 AF G lens for my N80 that I have been using with my D80. And its time for a change for the D80. I have been reading some reviews about the 55-200Vr, but none of them have really answered my questions. I was hoping those of you who have used/own it can shed some light on this for me. I will be doing some action/sports photos in a month or two. I really want the 18-200 Vr, but am still waiting and saving and figured this might hold me over.
1. I have heard the lens doesnt focus all that fast? Anyone have any experience with this?
2. Since its f/4 and with the vr, will I really be able to get a fast enough of a shutter speed to stop the action in low light conditions with out a tripod as it claims to do? Or is it more for landscapes and portraits?
3. Am I better off going with the older 70-210 2.8?
Thanks in advance for all of your help!!
