Well, I already have the 200/4 (it's part of my 55mm set!). The 100-200 seems
more abundant on the used market than the 200/5 though. It may be the best
way for me to go (especially if I find a decent 85/2 to go with it!) I agree
about preferring two-touch zooms. I have a Vivitar 75-205/3.8-4.8 that
suffers from awful zoom creep. Drives me nuts!
