hey ns, i got a nikon d200 for ski photography and i was wondering what all you photographers use for lenses, was thinking about the 80-200mm f2.8 for low light urban set ups and and all around lense. but what do you girls/guys think?




can also get a good deal on 55-200vr if that will cut it.

that's what she said.




80-200 2.8 is the ticket though, for nikon at least. don't get your hopes up about shooting night with that though, unless you've got flashes.

70-200 but the 80-200 is good if you want to save some cash.

No, it's really not. Stop reading that site, the guy is a moron. http://www.naturfotograf.com/index2.html and http://www.bythom.com and respectable sites.
