Yes, but close to a 100% price jump.???? Not for me i'm afraid. I WAS thinking of getting this lens, from sample photos from Chrisine and others on the list, but not for $1700.00
I can buy a D300 for less, and utilize my existing nikon lenses, i can buy another, not that i need it, Nikon 70-200 f2,8 for less. I can go on.
