Just when you thought telephoto lens technology couldn't get any better, the Nikon AF-S NIKKOR 70-200mm f/2.8E FL ED VR lens emerges as a game-changer for professional photographers and enthusiasts alike. This high-quality, professional-grade lens is a significant upgrade from its predecessor, the AF-S NIKKOR 70-200mm f/2.8G ED VR II, offering unparalleled sharpness, speed, and durability.Crafted for Nikon FX-format digital SLR cameras, this lens boasts a constant f/2.8 maximum aperture across the entire zoom range, ensuring exceptional low-light performance and a consistent exposure during zooming. The innovative design has shed approximately 3.85 oz in weight compared to the previous model, enhancing the photographer's comfort during extended shooting sessions.The lens construction is a testament to Nikon's commitment to reliability and durability, featuring weather-resistant capabilities that protect against dust and moisture. The addition of Nikon's exclusive fluorine coating on the front surface repels water, dirt, and smudges, making it easier to clean and maintain.Optically, the lens is a masterpiece, with one fluorite, one High Refractive Index (HRI) lens element, and six ED glass elements meticulously arranged to minimize aberrations and maximize image quality. The advanced Nano Crystal Coat significantly reduces ghosting and flare, ensuring crisp, clear images even in challenging lighting conditions.The AF-S NIKKOR 70-200mm f/2.8E FL ED VR lens is not only about sharpness but also about providing a smooth, pleasing bokeh, thanks to its f/2.8 aperture, which also allows for a shallow depth of field, emphasizing the subject against a beautifully blurred background.Image stabilization is a cornerstone of this lens, with Vibration Reduction (VR) technology providing a stable viewfinder image and reducing camera shake for sharp images in various shooting scenarios. The VR function is instantly activated with a half-press of the shutter-release button, offering an effect equivalent to a shutter speed 4.0 stops faster, as per CIPA standards.For action and sports photographers, the SPORT VR mode is indispensable, maintaining focus on rapidly moving subjects even during high-speed continuous shooting. The lens also features enhanced AF tracking performance for capturing unpredictable movements with precision.The electromagnetic diaphragm mechanism ensures consistent exposure control during high-speed continuous shooting, while the reduced minimum focus distance and increased maximum reproduction ratio open up possibilities for close-up photography.Ergonomics have been thoughtfully considered, with improved grip and four focus function buttons for intuitive operation. The tripod collar ring facilitates seamless switching between horizontal and vertical orientations, catering to diverse shooting styles and scenarios.This bundle enhances the lens's versatility, including a ProOptic 77mm Variable Neutral Density (VND) Filter for precise control over exposure and depth of field, a 77mm Filter Kit for added lens protection and image quality, a Lens Cleaner and Cleaning Kit for upkeep, and a Lens Cap Tether for security.The AF-S NIKKOR 70-200mm f/2.8E FL ED VR lens is a robust, innovative tool that meets the rigorous demands of press, sports, advertising, portrait, and wedding photography, delivering agility and optical excellence in the most frequently used zoom range.

It's been a great lens, I'm still using it on my Z6iii, with the an adapter, of course.

Still going

I bought this lens to replace an earlier version.  This FL version is less cumbersome to hold/carry and I feel it is sharper corner to corner.  Auto focus is  fast and accurate.

70 X 200 2.8 FL lens

So far this lens holds up to all the reviews I have read about it. The VR is very good and works very well in low light. AF works very well with my Nikon D850. I've only used it handheld so far. It's a bit heavier than I'm used to holding, but surprisingly the VR makes it possible to get good shots handheld. The zoom range makes it very versatile. And very sharp handheld at higher shutter speeds. As an intermediate level hobbyist photographer, I can see this lens challenging me to improve my skills. It's now my favorite lens.

My New Favorite Lens

Great Purchase

I love it

This lens is an amazing tool.  It is more than "acceptably sharp" at F2.8.  It's color rendition and image quality are on par with the best primes, and that's no exaggeration.  While I am looking to add another Nikon mirrorless camera to my bag, I am in no hurry to replace this lens because it performs wonderfully on both DSLR and mirrorless.

The Gold Standard

Because I own a Z9, a Z6, a D5 and an D810, I debated whether to purchase the new 70-200 Z lens  or go with the 700 -200 FL ED version as I was looking to upgrade from the older 70-200 ED VR II.  I ordered them both and in the end, I choose the 70-200 FL ED VR and sent the "Z" version back.  I liked the fact that it is still made in Japan and it felt better on the camera to me.  It is definitely an upgrade and seems to lock on faster in low light.  It's super crisp as well.  You do have to get used to the fact that the focus ring and the zoom ring are in opposite places from the older version but once you get that mastered you are golden.  I do recommend it to anyone that has the older version  and is on the fence as to whether or not to upgrade.

700-200 FL ED vs 70-200 VR II

fantastic lense great for closer shots very sharp and crisp pictures

This lens is a legend, forgiving the photographer's mishaps, it makes it up with its superior technology and science, no doubt it is what makes DSLR forever sought after ( D850 in my case). 
I will never go mirrorless. NO NEED TO.

A legendary lens.

Awesome lens! Fast and extremely sharp. So glad I upgraded to this lens.  Will be in my case from now on.

Nikon 70-200 awesome lens!

I have no idea where I stand as far as skill level, but I have received many compliments on my photos.  I started with a D5600 and a few kit lens? then stepped up to a D850 and this 70-200 mm lens.   I can not provide a technical review but I can tell you that all my favorite pictures are the ones taken with this lens.   With the D850 / 70-200 lens combination, I can crop in to a photo taken from 50 feet away and see the detail of each thread of a sport coat. It is so disappointing when I need to switch it out for one of my wider angle lens?.   Is it worth the money?   Of corse that is relative, but it does take beautiful pictures and for me, it was worth every penny.  My wife may disagree but even she admits that the photos look professional.

My favorite lens

The Nikkor 70-200mm f2.8E is extremely fast and sharp with my D780 and D7100. It is nothing short of being amazing.

Amazing Lens

Excellent lens. Super sharp, fast and silent. Better than previous versions.

Best Nikon 70-200 f2.8 I?ve used so far.

I shoot a lot of youth to college sports and this is my go to lens. Excellent image quality and focus speed. On my D500 it is equivalent to a 105-300 f2.8. I also use it on my Z6ii with the FTZ adapter and it works perfectly. I would highly recommend this lens!

My go to lens!

I've only just started to play with this new lens but can tell it is substantial.  Well constructed and heavy but it has the speed I'm looking to have for photographing animals.  Looking forward to getting to know it better and really looking forward to putting on teh3 2x teleconverter.
I'm using this lens on a crop frame sensor.

Great lens to add to your arsenals

I had the previous version until November 2019 when I sold my lens to a tour guide in India who fell in love with it. Little did I know that it was going to take me this long to get the last model due to lack of availability. Love it.

Here at last!!!

Here at last!!! I have been waiting months for this lens to become available. I had the previous version, which I sold to a tout guide in India while on a trip there. Top of the line performance.

Just outstanding

So far, this lens has surpassed my expectations-but I?ve only begun to explore it. Pics are crisp. Nice bokeh.

Surpassed my expectations

I haven?t had a lot of time to work with it, but my first impression is WOW!

First shots-WOW!

I use this for weddings, seniors, and families. It gets used more than any other lens I have. Love it!!!

The perfect lens

Great lens, with fast autofocus and great clarity.

70-200

Fantastic and versatile lens.  It completes the trio . Fast focus and sharp edge to edge .

70-200 Lens

Absolute best lens I?ve ever used or carry

The best

Significant improvement over the 70-200mm f/2.8G VRII. It does take some time to become acclimated to the swapped positions of the zoom and focus rings. Works equally well on native F-mount and adapted via FTZ to Z-mount bodies. AF is fast and accurate. Optics are excellent.

Best 70-200 I've owned to date

This lens is the best lens I own, and have owned, and I have some nice glass.!  It's speed and accuracy is in a league of it's own, it is extremely precise, yet very fast. I bought it along with a tele-converter, TC-17E 1.7x, the quality of the glass is so good, if there is a loss in sharpness or quality when using the tele-converter I am yet to see it!  I bought another brand before purchasing this one, I tried it for a few days then returned it, while it was a good lens, it is no match for this one. If you love photography,  you will love this lens, regardless of the level you are at.

This lens is second to NONE!

I ordered this lens and accessories over Thanksgiving weekend.  I have used this lens several times with my D850 and my older D7100.  It worked great with each of them.  I like the f2.8 maximum appature for its light gathjering capability.  It is a monster of a lens, but not too hard to handle either handheld or with a tripod.  I believe I will enjoy using it in the years to come.  Great purchase at a great price.  I was glad to see the the accessory package included both a UV and a circular polarizing filter.  That save me even more money that the rebate.  The other accessories will also be useful.

Nikon FX f2.8 70 -  200mm lens

Very good lens, great for macro work. Highly recommend. Use it with Nikon D850.

Adorama rating file.

This Lens is a workhorse that has craftsmanship all over it.  The autofocus in this lens is outstandingly fast and sharp.  The monopod / tripod bracket is a great addition to support the weight of the lens.   Highly commended.

Craftsmanship and Durable

Only used enough for a cursory lens test so far.  The lens clearly beat my 80-200 2.8 ED and 70-300 f/4.  Of course the reversal of the zoom & focus rings is hard to get used to.
Ordering through Adorama was a rocky process and wish I’d have stuck with B&H.  They’re much easier to work with and I’d feel more confident that they wouldn’t send me a lens that’s been returned.  (Adorama offered a free tripod with the lens but now I’m thinking it wasn’t worth it.)
