Hello TPF, im doing fantastic thanks for asking.
Anywhoo, as some of you may remember I posted about the VRII lens (70-200 2.8 ofcourse) being an upgrade and a new addition to my rig. Now, on that thread somebody mentioned, why spend $2639.69 when I can spend just over two grand and get a D300 plus a 80-200 2.8. Well I recently saw a 80-200mm 2.8 AFS (which will af on my d40x) for only $1039.00 mean yeah i'll still have my d40x but at least faster glass is here. Then later I could upgrade the body to a D300 or maybe a D7k who knows. At least i'll already have an auto focusing lens right? So TPF another question. What would you do, if you were in my situation. Three options are available to me.
Option #1: upgrade only lens to 70-200mm f/2.8 VRII for about $2650.00 CDN
Option #2: upgrade body to used D300 (no S) and get a 80-200mm f/2.8 AF no (s) all for around $2100.00 CDN
Option #3: upgrade only lens to a 80-200mm f/2.8 AF-S which will af on my D40x, and keep that d40x for about $1100.00
Thanks.
