Thank you Bent.
I have never used it but it is said to be very good for cropped sensors. If this image is an example...you capture the feeling of the sport. Timing spot on. This combo does work in your hands.
Thank you Paco for your kind words.
The 70-200 also works fine on my D800, but the AF is not as fast as the new one, but actually fast enough
I have used it a lot with my D700.
