| lens for nikon d 200 Hi friends!  for my Nikon d 200 I use a tokina f 2,8 16-50. For 50-200 lens I want to have a f 2,8...... what do you suggest to buy? Nikon 70-200 af-s vr I cannot afford unfortunately.... Tamron 70-200 sp af? Sigma 70-200? Tokina 50-135? Nikon af-s vr 70-300 could be a valid alternative even though is not f 2,8? I am  Thanks in advance for your suggestions Giovanni |

| Re: lens for nikon d 200 Well, if you need f/2.8 then you need f/2.8. In other words, if it is to freeze action (as opposed to enabling lower light shots with still subjects), then you cannot do without f/2.8. Otherwise I think that the image stabilized / vibration reduction (VR) version of the 70-300 could be a good option. The sigma 70-200 f/2.8 has a good reputation as being quite sharp as well, if you can stand the size and not having IS/VR... |

| Re: lens for nikon d 200 I had an older one ring Nikkor 80-200/2.8, which can be had for around $400. It was a darn fine lens except that it had no tripod collar. |
