This 80-200 lens is the best I have used yet, unfourtently I'm a college student needing to pay my student loans.. the pictures are sharp and colors are great. It requires a tripod most of the time though with 2.8 the shutter speed is faster than with my 70-300 at 4.5. I am very happy with this lens, and sad to part ways with this. This lens is worth 1100 dollars and I'm just trying to get rid of it in any way, so if your looking to build your bag up.. this is a top notch choice!
