Digital camera reviews of Nikon 70-200mm f/2.8G ED-IF AF-S VR Zoom Nikkor Lens for Nikon Digital SLR Cameras
Digital camera Review: A Legendary Lens Already!
Summary: 5 Stars
I've owned this lens for 2 1/2 years, I also own the 17-55mm f/2.8 and the 50mm f/1.4. I can tell it's worth the money. This by far the sharpest lens I've ever used at all focal ranges 70-200 and at all apertures f/2.8-f/22.
The bokeh is absolutely perfect, it's hard to imagine that a zoom lens can outshine primes, that's how good this lens is. Vibration Reduction is a marvel, if you have good technique it's miraculous in the images it produces. Speed- all I can say is wow! The Auto Focus is remarkable and it rarely hunts on my D200 even if your focusing in low light on a dark background. I've read the 14-24mm f/2.8 is in the same league.
If your thinking about buying this lens and have reservations about dropping $1650.00 on glass, just do it you will not be disappointed, it's really that good.
Weight may be an issue to some folks, I'm not not going to tell you it's light, it's NOT! Personally I like the heft of a Pro Body and this lens. It feels rock solid and the focusing ring is smooth as silk. This is a Professional quality lens thats built like a tank. If you want the best images this lens will deliver!
Highly recommended after 2 1/2 years of heavy use
