Would you rather have:
The f/2.8 allows for much lower light/faster shooting. The 80-400mm gives you that much more reach. (Assume that, optically, the lenses perform roughly equivalently, e.g. roughly same levels of vignetting, distortion, softness at certain ends/apertures, etc...)
(Why isn't this a poll? Not only do i want to know which folks would prefer, i want to know the whys : )
- a 70-200mm f/2.8 lens
- an 80-400mm f/4.5-5.6 lens
