What did that run you?
2.8 isn't the key, but it helps, the lens quality is just 10x better quality than the normal tele-zoom.

You can always go bigger by getting extension tubes, or teleconverters, saves you money, and you don't lose that much quality from it.

Unless your shooting NFL games, I don't see the need for anything over 300mm. I stopped using my 70-300, 200mm is enough for me right now.

As far as price, i shoot nikon, so I got the 70-200 VR 2.8 AF-S ED. Ran about 1600 US market, not gray market (about 200 cheaper but warranty is in japan).
