Why settle for less when you can experience the unparalleled performance of the NIKKOR Z 70-200mm f/2.8 VR S Lens This highly sought-after telephoto zoom lens, designed for Nikon's advanced Z series, is perfect for capturing a wide range of subjects, from sports and concerts to weddings, wildlife, and portraiture. The NIKKOR Z 70-200mm f/2.8 VR S Lens boasts an impressive low light performance, thanks to its bright f/2.8 aperture, high-resolution NIKKOR optics, and the superior Z mount. Its optical advancements make it an ideal choice for passionate cinematographers and videographers. This lens sets a new standard for fast telephoto zoom lenses with its class-leading close focus ability and superior aberration suppression. It offers the most comprehensive optical VR image stabilization in the history of NIKKOR interchangeable lenses. The lens' speed and performance enhancements can be fully realized in tight shooting scenarios, thanks to its extremely short minimum focusing distances. At 70mm, focus can be achieved as close as 0.5m from the subject, a feature virtually unheard of in a telephoto zoom of this focal range. The NIKKOR Z 70-200mm f/2.8 VR S Lens captures astoundingly sharp images with captivating resolution and glorious clarity, right to the edges of the frame. Its superior VR performance ensures exceptional sharpness when shooting handheld. The lens features a new multi-focusing system that delivers fast, accurate autofocusing while drastically reducing aberrations. This, combined with an ultra-quiet stepping motor (STM), makes autofocusing smooth, fast, and silent, perfect for street photography, wedding ceremonies, wildlife photography, and video productions where camera noise can be distracting. The lens also boasts superior color and sharpness, with virtually zero flare, ghosting, coma, or chromatic, spherical and axial aberrations, even at the far edges of the frame. A new SR (Short-wavelength Refractive) glass element further combats chromatic aberrations caused by challenging short-wavelength light. The NIKKOR Z 70-200mm f/2.8 VR S Lens is a tireless low light performer, capable of clean, sharp images and faster shutter speeds in dark scenes and interiors. Its larger Z mount retains even illumination, especially at the corners of the frame, for bright, even exposures with minimal vignetting. The lens also produces stunning bokeh qualities, thanks to the Z Mount, the largest full frame lens mount in the industry. With built-in optical VR image stabilization effective for up to an unprecedented 5.5 stops and Z series' high-performance in-body image stabilization, tack-sharp images are easily achieved when shooting handheld. For video applications, the NIKKOR Z 70-200mm f/2.8 VR S Lens is a remarkable choice. It offers smooth, silent AF with virtually no focus breathing, standard 77mm filter support, superior optical image stabilization, and Electronic VR. The lens also features a customizable control ring and two convenient customizable Fn buttons on the lens barrel, allowing for streamlined shooting experience. A dimmable, built-in EL (Electroluminescent) display panel allows for quick, convenient confirmation of aperture, focal length, focus distance, and depth-of-field, even in dark situations. The NIKKOR Z 70-200mm f/2.8 VR S Lens is extensively sealed to keep dust and moisture out, especially around all moving parts of the lens barrel, for worry-free durability. Nikon's proprietary Fluorine Coat provides enhanced antifouling performance, ensuring easy removal of all types of grime from the lens surface. Experience the difference with the NIKKOR Z 70-200mm f/2.8 VR S Lens, a lens that combines superior performance, advanced technology, and exceptional durability for the ultimate photography and videography experience.

This is my first professional zoom lens, and it is replacing a Nikon AF-S 70-200 f4.  It is expensive and worth every penny, if you value sharpness, buttery bokeh, and fast autofocus. It is sharp where it needs to be at 2.8. Stopped down to 3.5 it is crazy sharp, yet the falloff and bokeh are just beautiful. At f4 and at every aperture and focal length, versus the AF-S f4, this lens is better.
Manual focus is also very easy and the short throw to move from 70-200 is properly damped.
I like this lens more and more every day.

You get what you pay for

The 70-200 f2.8 was my go-to lens with my Nikon D850 and this will continue to be on my new Z8.

Favorite Lens!

If you're looking at this lens, you likely already know. 
What a magnificent and permanent addition to my glass collection!
I waited years to spring for it, and only wish I'd do sooner!
B-U-T-T-E-R!

It is BUTTER!

Ultra sharp from edge to edge. Surprisingly light weight. Doesn't look insane on my Zf. Can't wait for volleyball season to begin to try out the lower light indoor performance. Easy purchase, fast shipping and excellent packaging. Thanks Adorama!

Excellent Experience

Sports photographers' best friend

Many of you reading this probably already know the versatility and usefulness of this lens.  My copy paired with my old Z6 (original) has been very sharp (corner to corner).  Use this primarily for portraiture and candids at events.  Love this lens!

Best in Class!

This solid telephoto Z lens is optically excellent, focuses quickly/silently, and produces high quality images under most circumstances. It is great for freezing motion outdoors and indoors without a flash when lighting is sufficient. My copy performs reasonably well in low light situations while handheld. Photos appear sharper and more precise using Z6ii and Z6iii bodies than via my Nikon AF-S 70-200 VR II with FTZ. Video performance is also superior with less focus breathing and no related noise.

Excellent Telephoto Still/Video Option for Z Cameras

Pros:  acquires very quickly, tracks well, razor sharp, pretty much mandatory for outdoor shooting, and you can add the teleconverter with virtually no loss in image quality.  Cons: it's a 2.8 70-200... heavy and pricey.  The add-ons are nice quality.  The only real competition here is the Tamron 50-135, which has a little less reach, but more on the low end.

Solid

Sharp, fast, amazing. Significant upgrade for me

Super versatile

I opted for the kit over the lens only option, assuming there would be some added value.  I mainly was interested in the lens pouch, the bag and filters.  I didn't assume the filters would be top tier by any means, but the CPL is unusable. The VND is ok.  The lens pouch isn't even big enough to fit the diameter of the lens, and no where close to the length.  It is not the pouch in the initial kit picture (or the composite ratios were done poorly).  The bag is also not the bag from the initial kit picture (the bag in subsequent image is the bag included) and would barely hold the lens and accessories.  There would be no chance of using it for a camera body with the lens attached, which was the hope.  The additional cost is not enough to warrant a return but with the intention of the bag and pouch for this lens, it was extremely disappointing that they do not work for this lens.  It is also surprising that this would be such an oversight or intentionally misleading.

Would likely choose lens only if done again.

NIKKOR 70-200 2.8/s VR

An amazing lens.  This one is my money maker.  Very solidly built.

Super Lens

This is a great combo kit! Ao far I love this lens, got some terrific shots of the daughter at her dance recital in a dark auditorium. Portraits are also coming out great. I love it and cannot wait to explore it's abilities. Shipping was fast and it was packed great to prevent damage. Overall terrific

Wonderful lens combo

Well worth it!

This lens is fantastic! I originally bought the new z70-18" 2.8 and it did not do it for me. I returned it for this one. After one weekend, I knew I made the right choice for me. The lens is 3lbs the only drawback if you could call it that and because  I am a smaller frame person, weight is important to me,  the weight is all in the area closest to the camera which can make it feel heavier when hand holding for long periods. I have the 400 4.5 and the weight between the two of them is minimal but this one feels heavier. After a few days, I was used to it. I would not trade this lens for anything though and I am excited to work with this lens for wildlife.

What more is there to say- this lens is GREAT!

Excellent lens in sharpness and versatility.  It is a very good one lens only solution.

Want one lens only?

I normally only shoot with prime lenses. This lens has changed my mind completely. Beautiful and crisp images every time.

Best lens ever

I've had one for the F mount and it was one of my main work horses. It was no brainer to buy this for my mirrorless camera.

One of my MUST HAVES!

Just got this lens and it is already my favorite! Great image quality. I was able to capture pretty clear photos of the moon. I am a hobbyist photographer that shoots for fun. I am excited to keep using this lens every day!

Amazing Lens!!

Beautiful lens matches up perfectly with my z nine.

Z70 to 200 zoom lens.

I am a portrait photographer who also shoots high school sporting events.  I love using primes, but I needed more reach for soccer,  softball, baseball, and track. While I'd love even more reach, this lens is fast and sharp and a good fit for me. I can use it for beautiful outdoor sport images and could even use it for portraits (although I don't know that I will- I LOVE my 85 1.8 for that).

A very good lens

Out of the box--Cannot remove the lens hood, stick on reversed. Returning the lens hoping a replacement will be OK.

Lens hood stuck on new lens

This is a great Ken?s coupled with a gray camera, Nikon Z9. This lens is one of only 3 zoom lens in my bag and the only Nikkor Z lens. My other lenses are mixture of F Mount Nikon and Tamron using the FTZ adapter on my new Z9. 
This has been a very pricy investment in my photography kit but well worth the expense. My Z9 and D850 with my lenses go with me everywhere waiting to be released from my camera bags and put into action.

Best Damn Camera/Lens Combo

A bit heavier than my last 80-200mm Nikon zoom, the focus and handling a huge improvement. Thank you to the inventor of VR

This is it..

Optically, holy wow, this lens is remarkable. Absolutely gobsmackingly impressive. It is also quite a beautiful piece of gear. This would likely be my favorite lens ever but for one detail, and that is that Nikon has switched the position of the zoom ring from the back to the front of the lens, which has been disorienting to say the least. Additionally, with the zoom ring in the front, if you have your lens hood attached inwardly, you cannot access the zoom ring as it will be blocked by the hood. For many these design flaws won?t be an issue, but they?ve been consistently disorienting for me since buying it. Every other aspect of this lens is pure gold though.

Almost perfect.

Wow!  I just recently shifted to mirrorless and absolutely love this lens.  I primarily use for sports action, but can see many uses in my future.  It is a little heavier than I am used to, but that is also the reason it feels very durable.  It's a great match for the Z6ii.

Ready for Action!

One of the best lenses I?ve purchased. Extremely sharp. Not as heavy as I thought.

My favorite lens

Awesome lens

Everything I Expected

I've always loved the focal length of 70-200, it just gives such great latitude. I recently sold my F-Mount 70-200 and purchased the native Z lens. Hands down this lens is optically superior to the older F-Mount lens I had, it focuses faster and is extremely quiet and I like the images I get with it, but?

There's just one flaw with this lens and it's a major one, the location of the zoom ring. Whoever decided to move the zoom ring ?away? from the camera body clearly doesn't use this lens for long periods of time or didn?t consider the ergonomics of it. For me this is a huge deal. I shoot Pageants and Seniors and with the zoom ring on the far end of the camera it causes three problems;

1. Accidentally hitting or grabbing the focus ring.
2. Makes holding the camera and lens awkward and less steady.
3. Over a period of time it is very fatiguing.

Pageants last for several hours and two weeks ago I shot my first pageant with the Z-Mount and not the F-Mount 70-200, it became exhausting. Back in June I took several of my Senior Models to Hilton Head to shoot their Senior Photos and I found myself simply opting for a different lens quite often because of the zoom ring location and the fatigue it caused.

As much as I like this lens it is going to be replaced with a lens that has the zoom ring close to the body and not at the end of the lens. This is a very bad design decision that wasn't thought out completely.
