| The go-to lens of demanding professionals and serious enthusiasts, the 70-200mm f/2.8 is one of the most useful and sought after high-performance lenses for sports, wildlife, portrait, travel and news photographers. Nikon has further refined the lens, with an enhanced optical formula featuring seven extra low dispersion (ED) glass elements. These elements provide the ultimate in rendering characteristics to capture vibrant, high resolution images with optimal contrast. Image quality is further enhanced by Nikon's Nano Crystal Coat, which reduces instances of lens flare and ghosting, elevating optical performance, even in tricky conditions such as those found in professional sports settings and stage events. Designed to deliver the pinnacle of image quality in a wide variety of conditions, the new 70-200mm VR II lens also includes a Silent Wave Motor (SWM) for fast, quiet autofocusing. The SWM takes full advantage of 3D tracking autofocus (AF) systems, such as those found on the FX-format D3X, D3 and D700 D-SLR cameras. Three focus modes are available - M, A/M and M/A - for automatically focusing, manually focusing or fine tuning AF performance to best suit the photographers' needs. Nine rounded diaphragm blades contribute to a more attractive bokeh, allowing photographers create soft and more naturally separated backgrounds that better highlight the subject. Perfect for sports, photojournalism and wildlife photography. Vibration Reduction, engineered specifically for each VR NIKKOR lens, enables handheld shooting at up to 4 shutter speeds slower than would otherwise be possible, assuring dramatically sharper images. Offers superior sharpness and color correction by effectively minimizing chromatic aberration, even at the widest aperture settings. Further reduces ghosting and flare for even greater image clarity. Enhances light transmission and offers superior color consistency and reduced flare. Enables fast, accurate, and quiet autofocus. Renders more natural appearance of out-of-focus image elements. Provides fast and quiet autofocus without changing the length of the lens, retaining subject-working distance through the focus range. Close focusing provided throughout the entire zoom range for extended versatility. Enables quick response to changing situations between manual and autofocus operation. Included HB-48 lens hood?shades the objective from unwanted, image-degrading light. |

from Buffalo Grove, Illinois on 12/8/2009Comments about Nikon 70-200MM F2.8 G ED VR II Lens:
I use this lens to photograph sporting events where speed, sharpness and control are paramount. This lens exceeds expectations by every measure. The new VRII coupled with F2.8 continuous aperture allow for precise shooting in low light situations where sharpness and fast focus are critical. The detail captured in every shot is something you'll have to see to believe. This new lens will see lots of use by me!

from Fairfax, VA on 12/5/2009Comments about Nikon 70-200MM F2.8 G ED VR II Lens:
Version II is designed with more thought on how the lens will fit and feel in your hand than Version I. The zoom ring, focus ring and the rubber grip at the end are placed in a user friendly order, as they should. The rubber grip (ring) at the front of the lens takes alot of the weight off your arm and aids in stabilizing the lens. Focus is blazing fast and accurate, VR is quick to steady and lock the frame as seen thru the viewfinder. The color and sharpness of the photo's I have taken thus far are breath taking. Being a Pro lens the build quality is superb. The higher price you pay over Version I is justified. You are shooting with a lens built to be used on a FX camera, no dark corners.
I use this on my D700 and it will certainly be used on my D90. Nikon, kudos to you.
