Paul Franklin Stregevsky wrote Among manual focus telezooms, you could choose from several brands that offered "serious amateur" models in the f/3.5 to f/4 class. In autofocus, as you've discovered, it's a different story. You must choose between built-to-cost 70-200s with a highly variable maximum aperture or pro gear.
I assume your wife must have autofocus, yes? ----- Yes. My wife is not confident with manual focus, yet. It's essential that the new lens be AF. A lens with a variable aperture is OK, as long as the long maximum aperture isn't minute (less than f/5.6 say). I want the lens to have good optical qualities. BOA pans the SMC FA 70-200.
