I was considering getting that lens (When I have enough money) The replacement lens the VRII that came out last year is about $2250. This lens, I just looked up on eBay and it is gong for about $1750.00.
    THAT be that lens, yes, JAS ... got it on eBay a year ago for 1550. Used. I know it is a good lens, from the glass point of view and all ... so add to the 1,550 the cost of shipping it to Nikon (100), plus the repair (768), then this lens is almost worth it's weight in gold. This would mean that I would have a 70-200 VR f2.8 with new VR system, cleaned and calibrated. Total cost: 2,418. And no warranty, no telling what will go wrong with it. If I were a photographer who makes a living with this lens, I would not even think twice. But I do not sell my images, my photography really is a hobby.

    I dunno, I asked them to send it back to me. Right now I don't want to fix it, I want to spend my money on another lens; I really would like the 17-70 or 18-50, that is my priority at this time. Who knows, maybe I will have a windfall and find some money growing under a rock someplace, then I will fix it.

    Maybe I should trade you my old 80-200 f2.8 and then I'll get the repairs done.
