Joel;

And the 100-200/5 !   Gotta thin this collection out.

As for choosing:  the 85-250, I've had for only a year or two, so it's
'new' to me and so it's been in my main pack so I can use it a lot. I'm
still having fun with it. I especially like the 250 long end.

The 65-200 I've had for 15 years and I've taken a few of my best images
with it. And it has a pretty decent macro at 200mm.  Loads of working
distance, but I think only 1:7 ratio, I'm not sure. Lately, I've
relegated it to my 'small' pack so I can use it with one set of gear,
the 85-250 with the other. 

The 100-200 gets the least use, but it is capable of good images and it
mates with my 2X, giving a 200-400/10 ! Can u say tripod? How about ASA
800? It may see some use as a backpacking lens if I keep it.

I hope this explains thing in some way.

George
