I m sorry the title was Lens help. I have several tripods. 3 speed lights several soft boxes and umbrellas with stands. Backdrops, bags for many different situations including back packs sling bags and shoulder bags. Straps galore invested in trying to find the “right” one until finally settling on my favorite a simple wrist strap. And of course tons of cards. Someday I may have interest in reach of 500-600 but I shoot a lot of College Hockey and that is just too much reach. I prefer to shoot from Ice level not high in the stands. I have good access to sidelines for college lacrosse while that reach would be great I can get away with out it. So all that being said an 80-200 or 70-200 would have the most utility between sports, portraits, and the street. Even though I already have those focal lengths covered I would like something that focuses faster and locks better than the 55-300 and of course is sharper.

I have GAS. Here are the parameters. I have $800 to spend no more. I have a Nikon D7100 with the following glass. 18-55 and 55-300 kit lenses, 35,50 and 85 mm 1.8 primes. I like to shoot sports, hockey and lacrosse as well as Street and portraits. I would love a 70-200 2.8. But with 2 in college I can not justify spending more than $800 right now. I am not opposed to refurb or used. The kit lenses are what they are, I love my primes because I think each one is a great value for the money. So I am looking for a lens that is a good value. Suggestions? Any ideas on great values in that price range? Thank you
