I know the thread is mainly M, but when the grand children are over and running about, the 80-200 with the R8 and motor drive is hard to beat. Wish I could scan some of the images in for the group to see. Great color, sharp...heck, I know it isn't the 90AA or one of the new and expensive APO zooms, but the lens works wonderfully well in such an application. Didn't Erwin say that the 80-200 approaches the performance of many of the single focal length lenses?
