Seeing the activity on the 28-80 thread I thought I'd start a 70-200 thread.

I have a 24-85 in hand and a 70-200 on the way. I think this will make the most excellent two lens combo for hiking and backpacking. And, I'd really like to deal once with sending both in at the same time for conversion. Very Happy

So let's hear from all the 70-200 fans out there!

Be sure and vote for it in the official Poll thread: http://support.conurus.com/viewtopic.php?t=48

And, yes, this lens is frequently available. On ebay for around $300 and I just ordered an LN version from KEH for $330.

Just purchased one and hope Bo Ming will start to convert this lense soon.
I plan on holding on to it and add to my collection. I hope the quality of the images are excellent. rollsman
