Not having had much autofocus experience, I've often wondered about the

batteries in the body vs the lens, etc. I've also wondered about the
"power zoom" functionality (the huge contacts on the mount of the
80-200/2.8 smack of maybe too much current having to be transferred from
body to lens - I dunno).



Don't know about the others, but I know about the power zoom: it's no longer made, and that says it all to me.

And what it says to yoy ??? For me it says just two words - "cost savings".
Personally I do not consider Powr Zoom function as obligatory, but there was nothing wrong with that either. Moderately useful "bells&whistles" feature.
