It May Just Well BE The BEST Zoom Lens EVER Made!

Date of Review:  Nov 20, 2006
The Bottom Line: It may just be the FINEST zoom lens ever brought to market anywhere!
Review: Seven epinions reviewers before me have reviewed this lens and I'd have to say that every one of them has done a fine job of pointing out why serious photographers using Nikon cameras should own this lens.

As of this writing, I do not, but...

The Nikon 70-200mm f/2.8D VR G AFS ED IF - a perfect zoom lens?

Date of Review:  Aug 10, 2006
The Bottom Line: Easy to recommend to any professional photographer who needs a rugged, fast, and accurate Nikkor zoom.
Review: Introduction

I've been very happy with my slightly older Nikon 80-200mm f/2.8 D ED lens. No AFS focus, no VR, but great build quality and great image quality. I would never sell it to buy some new version with fancy technology because...

Possibly the best zoom lens ever made

Date of Review:  Jun 29, 2005
The Bottom Line: If you are serious about photography and can afford this lens, by all means get one - you will not be disappointed!
Review: Background

The Nikon 70-200 2.8 AF-S VR is the successor of the 80-200 range of Nikkor lenses (all discontinued), but is more of a complete redesign than just a tweaked new version. The new lens is far more complex than the previous...

The 70-200mm f2.8G ED-IF VR, What a Sweet Lens!!

Date of Review:  May 16, 2006
The Bottom Line: An excellent lens with superb optics, fast, quick and precise focus. Sharp handheld images in adverse light conditions. A 300mm f2.8 ED-IF VR for less than half the price!
Review: I made the purchase of my 70-200mm f2.8G ED-IF VR lens recently after selling off my tried and true manual focus 300mm.f2.8 ED-IF and for the first time in my photography career, I made the move away from a camera bag full of beautifully fast prime...

The Best Just Got Better

Date of Review:  Aug 1, 2003
The Bottom Line: Redesigned and well thought out, the VR mode will clinch the deal if you shoot action. However, if you shoot with a D700 or D3, you may be disappointed.
Review: Having owned just about every 80-200 zoom lens that Nikon has made, I was initially skeptical about the electronic wizardry of this new VR lens. But after several weeks, I realized that this lens was more than just the VR mode. The optics are even...

It's All True!

Date of Review:  May 30, 2005
The Bottom Line: Get it if you want the best. It may be more than what most people truly need. It's 100% a pro lens.
Review: Yes, this lens is already legend, and no, it's not just a bunch of people trying to justify spending a whole lot of cash on a lens. Make no mistake, this lens is BIG and expensive. It's not fitting into your travel bag nor is it at home at a...

All I can say is WOW!!

Date of Review:  Jan 12, 2006
The Bottom Line: Expensive, but the best things in life aren't free.
Review: Absolutely the best lens, of any type, that I have used. I have owned over 50 different types of Nikon compatible lenses, from 55mm f1.2 AI lenses, to 24-120 zooms, to 135mm-F2 fixed length primes. This one tops them all.
Three things that are...

I LOVE HER SO!!!

Date of Review:  Oct 19, 2006
Review: If I could make babies with the 70-200 VR they would come out almost perfect. Having the 70-200 VR is like being a professional. It's ability to shoot in low light is uncanny. The colors, the saturation, and the sharpness are top quality and usually...
