Leif,

If you have got the dosh then from what I have read ( my pick of reviewers ) then the 200 is a lens you will not be dissapointed with. If cash was not a limiting factor then this would be my choice, again I am not sure of your subject matter.

The snag in the decision process is that the 105 is VR, and may be more flexible in a general usage sense and half the cost. Both focal lengths have been a long time in the Nikon lens range so no probs there. After a good look, I have totally discounted the photozone pics as not being representative of the quality attainable. With the D200 sensor resolution I would only consider the latest in either range though as they will have been optimally tweaked for CA.

Don.
