Hi Markus,
I previously posted this message in the Nikon FX/DX lens section, but since it remained unnoticed, I'm posting it again here.
Would you be interested in testing any of these lenses on Nikon FX?
Nikkor 24-85 f/2.8-4
Nikkor 28-105 f/3.5-4.5
Nikkor 80-200 f/2.8 (push-pull version)
Given I own these lenses I'd be happy to lend some to you.
Thanks!

I thought they're all old and discontinued? (except maybe for the 24-85 but that's probably going to change soon with the new 24-85 VR hitting the stores).
80-200 AF-S is a more likely idea I think?

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.

Testing lenses takes a while, that's not something that can be done in an hour or two.
