Fellow Foto Freaks, I am shooting action photography, mainly sports, and have found my Nikon 300mm f/4 Af-S ED-IF to be a great tool. But in some situations I have a need for a shorter lens in say the 200mm telephoto range (like the smaller fields the young kids play on). All Nikon has without spending K on a 200mm f/2G VR is the 180mm f/2.8D ED-IF AF at about 0. This 180mm lens lacks the Silent Wave autofocus (AF-S) and I am concerned about the focusing speed for sports needs. Any of you have experience in this area? I'd even consider another brand if it would do the job. I have looked at the new 70-200 f/2.8 VR lens, but since I shoot through the fence so much I question if this is a good choice, especially at 00 bucks. My camera, by the way, is a D70s. Thanks in advance for your help. Dave
