For all those of you eagerly awaiting the arrival of this lens, several dealers over here have stopped listing the older 80-200 AF-S (which is surprising in itself) and started listing the new VR lens. The lens is not yet in stock but this is a good sign that arrival should be fairly imminent.
The good news is the price, which is almost identical to the Canon IS equivalent (+/- £5); and hardly more expensive than the existing AF-S.
