Zoom Lens for Nikon F2


I've used my beloved Nikon F2 for decades, with an ancient Vivitar 70-210 macro zoom lens (and Nikkor wide-angle and normal lenses). But the Vivitar lens is too heavy and bulky for a forthcoming backpacking trip in Europe. I'm looking for something light and compact, with about the same range (or longer), MANUAL FOCUS, preferably under $200 (which rules out Nikkor). I've had a Quantaray 70-210 and a Kalimar 80-200 thrust at me by dealers, but I'm skeptical about both of them. I'm a skilled amateur -- I don't need perfect glass, but I do want something that will hold up, give good images, and not cause problems. Macro is optional. Am I asking for the moon???
