    It's poor at 200mm unless you have good quality light.

    I wouldn't say it'd be all that great. During the day if it was sunny then perhaps, you'd be as well getting the 75->300 in that case though. Otherwise at the long end its too slow to use during the evening or in less than great light (which TBH, we get quite a log of here :rolleyes:). I have one of the older 75->300s 4.5->5.6 and it gets little use.
