F100 or better if you are planning on using AF. N90s perhaps OK.

That would be good. Wish I had one. Consider the 24-120 plus the 20/2.8
instead.

Not me, but in conditions where there is plenty of light, the 24-120 sure
is handy. Put NHG II (800) in that camera if not lots of light.

Get straps with the sticky rubber backing. Carry cameras on shoulder, not
around neck. Carry camera with 80-200/2.8 on right side, lens hanging down,
viewfinder *towards your body*. Easy to grab that way - throw strap off
your shoulder as you raise it up. If unbalanced, add a 300/2.8 to light
side. :-)
