I do not understad, why is Nikon 70-200mm so expensive and 70-300 is so cheap?

How come 70-200 has 100mm less focal length, it is still bigger and more expensive?

Minimum aperture rating, quality of the internal glass elements, general build quality etc

And the 70-200mm F2.8 VR II is weather sealed and it's F2.8 throughout the zoom range. Great for low light.

It also makes you look more sexy and professional, which as we all know, is the most important thing

Ahha lad, I think that one would be a CanNon, not a Canon. 50 lashes for Jediboy me thinks; or the dreaded plank me hearties.
