A zoom lens has a range. I think you mean a telephoto lens.
Any of their 2.8 lenses will fit the bill at whatever range you want,
the AFS variety are the best but the body won't focus them as
fast as possible so you might save some bucks there. I would
get a AFS and upgrade the body when feasible.

Why not one of the D versions of the 180/2.8? I've seen used ones in
excellent condition for less than $350. You can't get a better lens in
this range.

Are you serious, 180/2.8 AF-D's going for $350? Wow, and yikes.
(My MF stuff has to be totally worthless by now, but that's not news.)
