Recommendations. Nikon 70-200mm f/2.8E FL (metal 77mm filter thread, 50.3 oz./1,425g with tripod collar, 3.6'/1.1m close-focus, $1,897 new or about $1,500 used if you know How to Win at eBay .) bigger. I got mine at Adorama; I'd also get it at Amazon, at B&H, at Crutchfield or used at eBay.

Next-best is a plate with a flat rubber surface like the plain 200PL. The "pro" plate that comes with the head looks completely inappropriate to use with the 70-200's tripod foot. It's made to attach to the large, flat bottom of a camera body, not a lens tripod foot. When using a plate with a single screw, choose whichever socket on the foot
70-200mm f/2.8 telephoto zoom lens; compatible with Nikon FX or DX digital SLR cameras. 105-300mm effective focal length with DX sensor cameras; f/2.8 maximum aperture stays constant throughout the zoom range; built-in Vibration Reduction with tripod detection enables sharper shots at slower shutter speeds (up to four shutter speeds slower)
If you're happy with f/2.8 and the size of the 70-200, I wouldn't loose to much sleep over the 105/1.4. It's brilliant lens for sure, but mostly because of the f/1.4. With the 70-200 you get VR, range, and blazing AF speed (that you definitely do not get with the 105) You are right. 70-200 FL is really very very sharp. deQd.
