Well, new to me at least!
It is actually a used Nikon AFS VR 70-200 2.8G. It has a three year warranty and I bought it a reputable camera store so I feel pretty good about it.
I never thought I would ever own this particular lens because it is so expensive and was willing to settle for the same lens in Sigma, which also has good ratings, a better price, but is really heavy.
But, was able to pick this one up for less than the price of a new Sigma!
I'm SOOO happy!!
I thought you would be on the road by now!
