Hi John:
I had a 65-200 and it was fine, but there are problem ones, ask very
specifically if found on on eb*y. I would highly recommend to most to get an
85 (or 100) and a 200 instead of the zoom. I found that most of the time i
used the zoom at 200 and its heavier, and at the lesser telephoto ranges its
too slow. Just a thought.
Gord
