I can see lugging the D5, what is the motivation for chubby. With D5 who needs F2

I'd say the 70-200 2.8 not exactly small and portable can do 90% of chubby. Lugging D5 and holy is totally doable but to add chubby is serious commitment. As another suggested the 105 1.4 is an interesting bokeh alternative.
