masraum - the 70-200 is a more expensive lens than the 80-400mm
Ah, I figured that since they were both VR, but then that fast 2.8 on the 70-200 does elevate the price a tad.

I'd love to get a fast telephoto or fast zoom. Since I've got a Canon, mine would probably be one of the Canon "L" lenses. As it is, I find that I'd rather shoot with my 50 f/1.8 than with my regular zoom if possible. About the only time I go with a zoom is if I need really wide or telephoto. I guess you could take the automotive saying "there's no substitute for cubic inches" and translate that to cameras "there's no substitute for square inches"
