First of all, thanks for the offer, I really appreciate it. The 24-85 and 28-105 are already on my list (as is the AF-S 80-200).
So, from your list we're down to the AF-D 80-200, which I've been actually looking for for a while.
However, there are two problems: I'm still facing quite some work in my main job, which currently makes it close to impossible to significantly reduce the list of mostly-done-but-unwritten reviews (a few are coming though this week, you can check our smugmug site to get an impression of what's in the pipeline). So I don't think I'd find time for this one until a lot later this year, I'm afraid.
The second issue is that shipping something from Switzerland to Germany and back involves custom duties on both sides. So, unless you can ship the lens from somewhere the European Union, loaning it to us looks a little unattractive from an economical point of view.
