Default WTB: 70-200 2.8 for Nikon

Looking for a 70-200 2.8 for my D5000 doesn't have to be Nikon brand but must have the auto focus motor.

You do know that if Nikon, that lens will cost you more than the value of all your current gear. There are lots of them on craigslist. Use craigslook.com to search in many areas at once.

Did your Nikon D5000 come with a kit lens?

Yes but what does that have to do with anything?

Well you pay for what you get, but that is a whole other story.

Craigslook is really neat, it lets you search craigslist in very single region at once using criteria like how far from your location the seller is and what the price range is that you want to consider.
