huh? it's only $800

A 200mm prime lens from Nikkor seems to only come in f/2, but the AF is like $5k.

Which one are you talking about? The Canon?

He's probably talking about the Canon 70-200 2.8 L non stabilized zoom lens. Which is behaving pretty much like a prime lens in all its range.

you can get the Canon 200mm f2.8L lens for $800. great value. It has autofocus (but no stabilizer though)
