Thanks for replying.

I was thinking about renting-it-on-location, situation in which weight doesn't bother much. if i have to fly with it from europe and carry it from Dubai to Abu Dhabi & back and other places - the 70-200 f4 will be the only choice.

The new 80-400vr should be good. Sharp wide open at full 400mm. Won't it be heavier than either of the other lenses though?

Please forgive my grammar but if you find it inconceivable address me in romanian.
