So I’m debating here. Sell off that 70-200VRII and add about 3.4k and get a 200mm f2. Thoughts? Not if you don't need it. Be honest with yourself, what will you need the 200 for? If you want it no one is stopping you, but if you are hesitant to spend the money you need to see if it's really worth it. That also means will you miss out on the 71-199mm that you wont get?

They wouldnt own the 200 without the zoom. -Omar- Flickr

If not, I pull out my 24-70 for boring shots But do you actually need the other 30%? I'm just saying that you might be benefitted more from the 70-200 then the 200, sure your shots will be bokehlicious but do you really think it's worth it? vipergts831 wrote in post #15512090 Depends. Everyone i know who owns a 200 F/2 also has the 70-200 2.8 II. They wouldnt own the 200 without the zoom. that's why I think he might not want to sell the 70-200II for it.

Looks like I have to split up the amount by purchasing gift cards on different days. With my luck everything will go out of stock by the time I'm done purchasing gift cards.

Well.. 70-200 f/4 + 200 f2 could be a better option. Ilya | Gear |•• flickr

Maybe at a later date you can fill the 71mm-199mm hole with a new 135/1.8 when Nikon releases it.

dgrPhotos Cream of the Crop More info | Jan 20, 2013 12:52 | #6959 The only reason why I can't do that is because if I buy a D800E with a 24-70 I get a $200 discount. That's $5K and over my $3K limit.
