My use case is for trips and general photography, so I'm today thinking about the 200mm prime, which is much lighter, and the 28-70mm which covers the mid-range.


Obviously you don't get the coverage, but these two lenses are much easier to carry and use. So is the 70-200 designed specifically for something like say, sports, or fast action distance events?
