Choice for second lens

Hi all. Hving currently the Nikon 17-55mm f2.8 lens and wanting a second lens to cover up to tje 200mm range, I would like to hear any opinions on the 70-200mm VR f2.8. Most of the reviews I read on the net rave about this lens. Any advice ?

Hi Amer,
I am no expert,but I just got this lens and the reviews are spot on. It is big, heavy,and expensive, but the best one to go for to compliment your 17-55 f2.8.
There's also the 1.4x Nikon converter for it which can give a useful extension to the range
if you need it.
Cheers,
Davy

HI Davy

Thanks for your advice. I have decide to go with this lens and I priced it here in Qatar yesterday. It is retailing for $ 1970. Yes it is expensive but i guess a cemra like the D300 deserves a lens of this calibre. And that converter sounds liek a good addition to the kit. Yesterday I bought the vertical grip and a Lowepro Vertex 200AW. So it is all coming together.

Thanks again

You won't be sorry with your choice of adding this lens to your equipment. Best lens I've used so far.
