Overcoming Lens Impotence

Don't worry, the 70-200vr will be worth it, even if you have to sleep on the couch for a few weeks.  

 

I can almost gurantee that once she sees the pictures from the 70-200VR that all else will be forgotten. Atleast that is how it worked out in my case  

 

Just don't give up Beer-food maybe.

 

Hi Rob,

As implied by your message title, you could tell "her who must be obeyed" that by buying that 70-200 you have in fact saved a LOT of money that otherwise would have needed to be spent on Viagra prescriptions for your other lenses.

:wink:

Best wishes,

David

 

Now that I think about it, buying this lens will save on beer. I will not handle the lens if I've had a few.

Ya, that's the ticket.

 

I'd be very surprised if the 70-200vr is getting replaced anytime soon; there are plenty of other lenses in their lineup more in need of a refresh. Then again Nikon isn't always known for doing what makes the most sense...

 

This is a great lens Rob and your wife might even appreciate the smooth lines and gold lettering. If not that the pictures will surely wow her. Good luck.

 

Maybe a new faster AFS, maybe f/2, maybe better VR, maybe Super ED, maybe better wide-open performance, maybe DX....maybe....AARGH!
Think about all the iterations we have left to go! There were no less than 5, maybe 6 versions of the 80-200 in the first 20 years or so....
