Well Guy I am a physician so I could make that happen!Would you consider a kidney. LOL
Great lens!
This is the lens, I actually wanted, when walking in the shop a few years ago. Instead, only a 300/2.8 was available, which became my main motor sports lens on the Nikon bodies.
I then transitioned almost entirely to Leica M gear.
I still have the 300/2.8, together with the old D3 and a few primes and film bodies everything I kept from the Nikon gear.
In my opinion, these are the lenses to keep, if changing systems and having no other long lens substitute.
I shoot motor sports also with the Leica M, but restrictions end me there at 135mm realistically.
If in any regularity you use this lens and can swallow it financially, keep it!
The real beauty about the 200/2 is, that it is even more handhold able than the 300/2.8, can do long lens work with TCs and is even more useful for other things than covering distance (think portrait and low light lens).
If you love this lens, you will regret it.
If this would be local, I would think about it at your asking price. There is nothing like the 200/2.
I think that is a great idea!That was close ;-)
This lens is a good excuse, to keep one Nikon body and a very few select favourite lenses around, working them out at special occasion.
Another thing about the 200/2 is, that you don't see them too often for sale, should you make up your mind again after selling one. It's a lens to keep, really.
