Recently bought a 200mm f/2 VR1, tried to track a moving object for the first time today and I'm very, very impressed by the af speed and tracking capabilities.
(I'm sorry for posting pictures of my dog, as it's something you see way too much online)

The size / weight is surely a big downside, but the resolution and focus speed make lenses like the 70-200 look like plasticky kit lenses
It sure does, but it also gathers some attention, not exactly suited for candid street photography.
Here is a quick portrait in hard direct sunlight yesterday:
Wow, picture this, great pics! Love that B&W shot - looks light painted... There is something funky going on though with the perspective, and the (really nice) sky adds to that confusion.
Do you guys have to do any re-sizing to obtain better web results before posting? Right now my monitor is a 1680 lower res monitor (I'll fix it soon!) and I notice a lot of D800 shots look blocky to me and I know it has got to be something going on in my end and guessing the full sized shots not re-sized end up being re-sized poorly by my computer.
