But it's smaller, I hear, than the new AF-S version. The guy I bought my lens from was in his 80s and just couldn't carry it. (Poor guy). :-) It does have a great tripod collar though. I suspect you'd probably do well with the 80-200 f/4 for your R8, if you can be happy with the Nikkor 70-300. - -- Eric Welch St. Joseph, MO http://www.ponyexpress.net/~ewelch Time is just one darn thing after another. - Anonymous
