The Minimum Focus Distance is 2.5m or 8.2 feet

Sounds like you are correct.

Nikon - and its cheaper.

If you meant to say Nikon has a 200mm f/1.8 I cannot find any reference to that lens.

No they never did, but can any of us really claim to know the difference between f1.8 and f2.0? Nikon made their ultra fast 200mm long (15 years!) before Canon came out with their fractionally faster version.

Could you please send me their contact info? There is a place in Michigan that can rebuild these lenses including the AF motors.
