All joking aside, the 80-200/f2.8 is an excellent workhorse lens for motorsport photography - it even works pretty well with a 1.4x TC for those occasions where you want the extra length.
Indeed. I used the 80-200/2.8 (with and without 1.4x TC) for most of my motorsports shots here: http://www.robertstech.com/mid02004.htm
(Wish I was at Daytona this weekend <sigh>)
It certainly looks like a fine piece for this kind of work, but I only use such a lens once/twice a year at most. It's hard to justify the price for that little use.
I'll continue to think on it. Thanks for all your comments. :-)
