The only questions I have about the video is that he lauds the 200 f2 VR but doesn't compare it to these lenses and using his test criteria I doubt he would see much of a difference using it either. In other words, he dismisses the "slight sharpness advnatage of the 105" as not being a real benefit, nor the slightly narrower DOF, all things that makes the 200 f2 VR such a legendary lens.
