everyone assumes i have an expensive body. my expensive body is my ZX-5n. that's because there was no $500 body available at the time with the features expected for one at that price range and the MZ-S was spec'd about that price but actually sold for a lot more. i don't ever expect to get an MZ-S but i am waiting for a $500 *ist series body.
yes, it's the FA* 80-200 f2.8. it focuses quickly enough for me, but since the lens is so heavy that i have tried hand holding only a few times. i have not made an attempt to see how well it does on action shots. at a sporting event, i would still have it on a tripod and just not tighten the ball head all the way. MF feel is light and smooth, but not as light as the cheap lenses. bokeh, well, everyone here seems to like it. it looks good to me with very diffuse out of focus areas. there are a couple of other people here who have the same lens.
