I agree. *If* I had that kind of money (and I don't) to spend on a lens, it would be for something with more reach. If I needed speed at 200mm, I'd "settle" for the 70-200mm f2.8 IS and have bucks to buy another lens.

I just thought I'd throw the link out there as it's still a rare lens, old or not.
