Easy to focus, and handle this lens is super high performance - hand held, or on a tripod

One of my favorite places to shoot is at Universal Studios Orlando, I purchased this lens knowing I will be able to get the performers close up specially with the hard times of Covid-19. this lens is amazing, it is tack sharp, it is very quick and absolutely silent. It has a perfect picture, no distortion, sharp edge to edge, great colors. nothing bad at all to say about this lens, I think it is worth every penny. with the tc 2.0 x converter, makes this lens a power house. cannot wait for the 200 - 600 or what ever lens is next. I cannot wait to own them all.

The 70-200 f/2.8S is the sharpest zoom lens that I have ever owned. The lens maintains great sharpness and micro contrast at f/2.8 and at f/4. When shot with the matching 1.4x converter, the lens continues to perform as if there was not converter in place. I thought that the F-mount 70-200 f/2.8FLE was sharp and contrasty, but I find the new Z-mount lens to be even better. The AF performance w/ the Z6II was even better than expected. When paired w/ version II bodies AF is snappy and precise.

My Nikkor Z 70-200mm f/2.8 VR S lens is by far the best telephoto zoom Nikon has ever produced! It is incredibly sharp and far supassses the F-Mount 'E' version of this lens.I have been shooting NIkon for over 50 years, and now with the new Z cameras and lenses, I will remain a loyal NIkon fan.

Sharp. Meets or exceed any expectations I had for the lens.

Tack sharp. Constantly amazed in post at how crisp and clear it is at all focal lengths.

I use the 70-200 f:2.8S on my Z50 and Z7II, with amd without teleconverters, 1.4x and 2.0x. Primary use is event photography at church tent services, baby dedications, and special events, such as National Day of Prayer at the Liberty Bell outside in Bakersfield, CA. Secondary use: waterfowl, flowers, veterans events. The lens is frequently paired with my 70-200mm f/2.8 S lens, which is swapped between the Z50 and Z7II/battery grip. Outstanding image quality in low light. Very well balanced with both bodies. Much better than any of the recent G series 70-200E and predecessors. Image stabilization not a problem with either Z50 or Z7II. I am turning 71, so I appreciate well-balanced functional lens and body combinations with mininal weight. Programmable functions help on Z cameras, ZII battery grip, and this lens make a big difference. Lens with 2x teleconverter is noticeably heavier than 1.4x. Tolerable, but tires me much sooner.

Perfect work nice excellent

Professional quality & craftsmanship. The image quality is outstanding! Crisp details and spot on colors. The bokeh is beautiful! After one use, the cost of this lens is self explanatory!
