Does anyone have this lens for a Nikon camera? I would like to try it out before buying. Thanks. ---

I’ll sell you a 70-200 VR for a decent deal if you’re interested. Great lens, even makes an amateur like me look good. From the USGP: ![http://farm1.static.flickr.com/65/182345423_26cb223143.jpg?v=0](http://farm1.static.flickr.com/65/182345423_26cb223143.jpg?v=0) ---

Pretty sure it’s an ED. It’s exactly what mpd has, I believe. I love the thing, but can’t justify keeping that much lens around for what I do. ![http://farm1.static.flickr.com/58/182348540_7a5547687e.jpg?v=0](http://farm1.static.flickr.com/58/182348540_7a5547687e.jpg?v=0) As for price, it will be very very competitive. Way less than new and probably a good cut under eBay, plus you know what you’re getting (not going to be some beat up glass or a cheap chinese knockoff).
