I think I never saw somebody calling a 70-200 a "portrait lens" but then, why not?
It's a long journey from here to the Chinese wall by bicycle but then, why not?
It's a common lens in it's x-th version and as such I'm wondering why Nikon asks 2700$ for it, but then... and transfers this to 3280.- Swiss francs (official price recommendation by Nikon.ch), but then why not? More than double the price for one f-stop more...

I get it! Nikon watches the prices of µ 4/3 and X-lenses and just puts the 1.5 × equivalence plus the "superior from Nikon" bonus on it! Clever dudes, they are.
