AF-S NIKKOR 70-200mm f/2.8E FL ED VR

Finally broke down and traded my beloved 70-200 f/2.8 VR2 for the new version. Only took one day to get use to the zoom ring placement. The improvement in sharpness and color rendition was worth the steep price. I highly recommend the new ´´E´´ version for anyone interested in the best. Great companion for my D850.

I recently got back into photography and decided to spend the money on quality equipment. After much research, I recently purchased the D850 with the F/2.8 14-24mm, 24-70mm and this lens. While the lens is a bit heavy, the results are outstanding. The pictures are very crisp, the focus is extremely fast and the f/2.8 allows for creativity. Obviously, not cheap but the photos are priceless.

This is a sharp yet gentle, fast and smooth wonderful quality lens that is ideal for portraits, wildlife, sports and special events.
Definitely a game changer when it comes to portraits not only wild life.
This is a smart lens that you can trust in tricky situations comes with an outstanding low light performance.
A ´´must have´´ top of the line lens for those who want top of the line image quality no matter what the situation is, no matter what you are shooting this is a lens to trust at 100% on any day.

Bought this lens a couple of months ago as a replacement for my old VRII. It´s so much sharper, faster at focusing and I love the zoom ring being at the front. An amazing improvement on the previous model.

Nikon´s latest version of its 70-200mm f/2.8 zoom lens is one of the sharpest of all the many Niikkor lenses I own. The images captured with this lens appear to be absolutely lifelike.

In a nutshell, the greatest 70-200 lens ever made. I tired to find something wrong it, but I really ailed. Thank you Nikon for making sure I don´t miss the shot when I´m travelling, and making me no longer hesitant about shooting wide open.

I´ve had this lens most of 10 months; mated to a D750. It has worked flawlessly; meeting its sales literature in all material respects. It is steeply priced; thus difficult for a relative novice to justify without a few years of experience to warrant the expense. That said, it IS a lens that can make one a better photographer. You can´t spend that much without a commitment to improve…. And I think I have. Its focus speed is astounding. Properly used, it´ll “catch” movement and freeze it solid. Mounted on the camera, it´s a two-handed operation. The “remote” focus buttons [4], however, make the process easy and comfortable. It´s a well-sealed and reasonably bomb proof [not stupid-proof] lens that has delivered quality 100% of the time. Presently, it lacks only a better photographer on the other end. While a tad heavy and honestly too spendy……..it has been very much worth the expense. Almost universally, it is the first lens on my camera for portraiture, sports, and wildlife…….. If you can…… get it.

I was unprepared for how fast the AF is with this lens. It´s outstandingly fast.

I must say this is an outstanding lens producing very clear pictures. Used it on my first shoot of a high school basketball game on my D4. It does take some time to get use to the focus buttons and moving the zoom ring to the front. But, this is not a problem. Great lens. It´s a keeper even with the extra cost over and above the 70-200G.
