About bias, have you actually used any of the Nikon glass you write about?

Lets see. I write about Canon glass/cameras I have never used. I write about Sony glass/cameras I have never used. I write about Olympus glass/bodies I have never used. I write about Pentax glass/bodies I have never used. I write about Sigma glass/bodies I have never used. I write about Nikon glass/bodies I have never used.
I have the feeling you need to read up on the meaning of "bias", you seem to have it the wrong way around (only ever recommending the lenses you yourself have bought might be a big indication of bias).

I do use the 70-200 mk II in landscape and portraiture (also at a relatively close range) and focus breathing is not a problem for me. I was aware of this when trying it out, but in practical shooting it wasn't a problem. Then, it's just me and my take on it.. subjective indeed <img src='http://forum.photozone.de/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='

It is very good/nice that the focus breathing is not a problem for YOU. That is what I was writing... always try to take the person who asks for advice into mind, and not just yourself. For me, that particular Nikon would suck majorly. And for some others, it might be a fine lens.
But, of course, that was an example, this thread was not about that lens... it was about standard zooms and budget.
