This 80-200mm would complement your 35-70 with any of the bodies you cite very nicely, being in the same ball park so far as bang-for-the-buck, convenience, size and weight go. ....patrick I am looking for opinions on this lens which I am considering buying. I'd be using the 80-200 on an N8008 or 6006 or possibly a 2020. I'd be using it in conjunction with the 35-70 3.5 af and a 24 af. Any opinions from any one familiar with this lens would be appreciated.
