I thought the original question was regarding a Canon lens...
BTW:
I would suggest to use the new Nikon 70-200 VR2 before claiming such a nonsense here. Focus breating is a non issue and only in a very few situations relevant. Always funny to hear statements from a heavy Canon user about Nikon lenses.

Another silly post from you, thanks for that.
The focus breathing is a BIG issue for many, but not for all. That you belong to the group who do not find it an issue is FINE.
Just as it is fine for people who belong to the other group, to find it an issue for a 200mm lens. I have the same issue with the Sigma 70-200mm OS. And I have it because I a photographer, not because I own some items from a certain brand.
If I choose to use 200mm, I choose to use 200mm. Not 130mm. HUGE issue. And yes, I often (even mostly) use 200mm at or past the lens' MFD.
It is never funny, just sad, to hear statements of ignorant people who just rant because of some brand loyalty. And then claim the other person is posting out of some misplaced brand loyalty of some other brand.
