Why not the correct one?

nope

According to this list the 200/2 VR (both I and II) share the C-PL3L polarizer with 800/5.6E, so very likely the clear filter holder is the same part too. https://www.nikonimgsupport.com/eu/BV_arti ...

My cameras don't have full auto. The next closest thing is P mode which I also never use.  I do use Aperture and Shutter priority auto modes quite often though, but studio and macro stuff always ...

The ability to change setting without taking eye off the viewfinder and without moving hands. The menu or screen? Couldn't care less.

Just the opposite. I'm waiting the suckers (ehm, system switchers) to sell their gear so I can grab it cheap.

I would take it back, they are lying and selling you a broken lens at full price. What else is broken?

No design flaw there. The foot is immovable when the screw is tightened, and even with the screw is opened the foot still doesn't come off until the safety hatch button is pressed. Yours is ...

The future isn't now. No point in suffering inferior AF for years while being in waiting and hoping mode. The future is not running away and it will take care of itself. Cameras are tools and ...

That's obvious, isn't it.

One stop = 6 dB.

My top four is 28/1.4D, 85/1.4D, 200/2VR2 and 400/2.8VR. But but... I already have those so should I get another set just in case something happens to the primary ones?

I've had the 28-70/2.8D since 2005 or so. It is a reliable lens with good AF speed, but I don't know how much faster newer lenses are. Sharpness is good, bokeh is good and colors are good. The ...

I mostly agree. It is not quite in the 400E FL league, but one of the best Nikkors along with 200/2VR2 and 300/2.8VR. It is my longest lens and I don't need a longer one. It's perfect for sports ...
