Frankly, I shoot Sony only because of old Minolta lens the effect of which can not be produced by PP. Otherwise, I would advice think thrice before you invest into Sony.

I have not heard of the new Sony 70-200/2.8 but the present one is inferior to the original Minolta 70-200 SSM that I have. The Minolta one is clear and 3-D, it also focus closer than the Nikon equivalent (the VR2) that I am also using.

In considering the 70-200/2.8, Nikon one is good enough and also the 3rd generation TC-2x of Nikon is really excellent -- do give you better reach with mush less money with good IQ, better that any other 2X-TC that I have experienced (I also have Minolta 2X-TC, both SSM and APO versions).

Dust issue of D600 in my opinion is not a practical issue unless you do not having habit of regularly cleaning the sensor.

Uhm. The present one is IDENTICAL to the old minolta, it's just rebadged.

The 70-200 SSM is not the fastest focusing lens really. But it's good enough for sports.
