Going to rent the nikon 70-200 f 2.8 AF-s ED VR II?

This lens is not IF. What are the cons to that?

Added (1). Other lenses that would work better or the same as this one that i could rent instead?

If it's not internal focus the front element rotates which could cause minor problems with filters like a polariser, i.e. You'd have to keep adjusting it.

Not many cons. I use one on a regular basis. As another poster said, you might have some minor issues with a polarizer.
