An f/2.8 zoom is per se nothing cheap. So, either I want quality or save money. Used lenses come at a risk, but not a much bigger one as I can also bu lemons new.
Going on a budget with 70-200 for Nikon means to me, get the 70-200/4, use VR and stay away from third party stuff.
70-200/2.8 Tamron G1: 1170.-
70-200/4 Nikon: 1400.-
70-200/2.8 Tamron G2: 1700.-
70-200/2.8 Nikon 2600.-
A lens like that is in use for long time and pays over the years
