Personally, three things would finally persuade me to buy the 70-200
f2.8.
1: if they gave it IS (a glaring omission from the range)
2: if the tripod collar came fitted as standard. (which makes the
absence of IS even less understandable)
3: if it came in black instead of that pathetic white colour.
But it would then be a great lens.
At the moment I'm torn. If we are forced to go digital then there
will really be little point in buying high-quality optics for a low
res. recording medium. My current Sigma 70-210 f2.8 lens has better
definition than a D30 already.
