    Nice Lens! I saw a photographer last weekend using one at a renewal fellowship conference going on at my church, he also was a Nikon (duh!) user.

    I have the 80-200 AF-S and LOVE IT!!!
    I replaced the 180 ED-IF AF with it.
    It is one sweet piece of glass!

    Re: It's not JUST the size that matters......

    Had a shoot out during 6th period lunch and again in 8th period TV with Don (youngshooter)...D70s set at identical custom settings, but my 80-200 vs. his 70-300 ED and 105 Micro. The 80-200 owned his 70-300 and did very well against his micro.

    Good thing you have an extremely kind and forthright teacher who would allow such foolishness during class time. Oh yeah, that was me.

    Re: It's not JUST the size that matters......

    Well I think it's only fair that I get some off time considering that I film and/or edit a large percentage of what comes out of our class, and we're between projects......
