Top Rated Gear: Used Nikon 70-200mm f/2.8G AF-S VR II Nikkor ED-IF Lens undefined

The Nikon 70-200mm f/2.8G AF-S VR II Nikkor ED-IF is a fast telephoto zoom lens optimized for full-frame Nikon DSLRs. With a continuous wide aperture of f/2.8, the latest version of Nikon's Vibration Reduction (VR II) system, quiet autofocus, and updated lens coating technologies, this next-generation lens is ideal for professional photographers and videographers. It will work with both film and digital Nikon cameras, and is compatible with both FX (full-frame) and DX (APS sensor) DSLRs. With this lens, Nikon has now updated its entire pro zoom lineup, which includes the AF-S Nikkor 14-24mm f/2.8G ED and AF-S Nikkor 24-70mm f/2.8G ED models, with pro-level coverage from 14-200mm focal lengths with a constant f/2.8 maximum aperture.  What you should know about this lens:  &#149; Outstanding lens elements: The 70-200mm f/2.8 G AF-S VR II features 7 ED (Extra-low dispersion) elements to provide outstanding sharpness and accurate color rendering, and minimizing chromatic aberration at all apertures. A Nano Crystal Coat promotes even greater clarity by reducing ghosting and flare. Finally, Nikon's proprietary Super Integrated Coating (SIC) also reduces flare and improves light transmission and color accuracy.  &#149; Second-Gen image stabilization: The lens uses Nikon VR II vibration reduction, which promotes handheld shooting at up to 4 shutter speeds slower. It has two modes: Normal (reduces ordinary camera shake and panning) and Active (reduces extreme camera shake including shooting from a moving vehicle).  &#149; Great Bokeh: A rounded 9-blade diaphragm renders out of focus areas of the image more naturally and shows rounded specular highlights.  &#149; Quiet and fast AF: Autofocus is powered by the exclusive Nikon Silent Wave Motor (SWM). Focus is fast, accurate, and quiet, making this an ideal lens for HD video as well as still photography. The focus is accomplished internally, so the length of the lens doesn't change while focusing. Minimum focus is 4.5 feet. Manual focus override is available.

Good for sports and events but does not have the clarity that my Z lens have.  It is a heavy beast!

Not the best Clarity

Broken. Bought for Christmas and does not even work. It does not focus at all.

Broken

Best

i typically shoot family events and sports.  This lense is very sharp and true to color.  

Great Lense

if you find yourself in event type of photo shooting situations, there is no better lens.  

speed, auto focus, smoothness

All in one package

It may be that it is my unit, but I am not too crazy about the sharpness of my pictures with this lens. i have a D750 and a D500 and I have this issue with both cameras. It is soft all across the zoom range. Very heavy. You need to use it with a tripod to get the best results.

Very heavy and not as sharp

As expected this lens is fantastic. Of course I'd love to try the latest version but not at the significant cost to upgrade.This VRII version suits me well. 

replaced the zoom rubber once. After about 15 sports gigs that required frequent zooming, it syretched out a bit. Maintainance costs.

quality lens at premium price.

This is my fist time using this lens I love it! 

Great lense for portraits

Amazing.

Shoot mostly indoor volleyball of my kids teams.  This lens makes life much easier for me.  I've used it on my old Nikon D750 and now on the Nikon D500.  The crop sensor took a little getting used to, however, still a fantastic lens.

Perfect for my use.

What can you say, it is our most used lens. Sports, portraits, wedding, we use it for everything. Fast, sharp, durable, gives us exactly what we want every time

Perfect!

This lense realy is a Good performer,colors are good ,fast focus, sharp,yes it's a bit heavy  ,but a pleasure to use in the field..

Love this lens!

This is my go to lens from portraits to engagement shoots, weddings to sports events.  If you are serious you CAN NOT be with out this lens. Word to the wise to not by the new cheaper version you will regret it.  Love this lens. worth every dime!

Love this lens. worth every dime!  

I owned the previous VR I lens. Unfortunately  it was destroyed in a freak accident... so I immediately ordered the current version. This lens has fantastic sharpness, it focuses quickly and is easily hand held at some pretty slow shutter speeds. Even though I have several excellent Nikon lenses, the 70-200mm continues to be hands down, the best of all of them.  It is just a great lens.

Continues to be a Great Lens

Tack sharp

just play with it in one day. I recommend everyone new to this also want to buy, make sure try the weight first. maybe you would need the f4 one which should be much lighter.

I even worry it break my D750 body interface sometime if I just hold the camera body without left hand holding the lens. Do I need to ?

everything perfect but just heavier than I expected

This is an expensive lens, but it delivers great results. Sometimes Nikon lens are the best overall value, sometimes it is the third party lens makers with the best overall value. In this focal range, I think the Nikon is the best value and I'm very happy with my purchase, despite the steep price to entry.

Great Lens

I was very satisfied with the 70-200mm f2.8 VR Lens.

Very Satisfied

After a week I can't say enough about this lens, great, fast focus and awesome resolution. You've heard it all before, and it was all true.

Hype was right

Like all the other reviews, this is an awesome lens.  Solid build and the photos are sharp.  It also comes with a really nice carrying case.

Worth every penny

amazing lens!

Adorama delivered within 2 days...as advertised.
Professional grade glass w full USA warranty...worth it.
I highly recommend.

Pro Quality

Lens has been good so far. I use it for mostly sports photos for a newspaper. Only problem is its a bit longer than my last lens, so I might need to get a new bag.

Nice lens might need a new bag now

I dreamed of this lens a long time before I pulled the trigger. If you are sitting on the fence like I was, pull the trigger, you will not regret it! The night shots with
existing light are out of this world.

Great Lens!

Awesome lens!  Very sharp in all focal lengths.  You can tell a big difference in sharpness with the vibration reduction.  Excellent for low light shooting when you can't get too close to subject.

Great lens!

I was renting this lens for 98% of my shoots, and I finally bit the bullet and picked up one of my own. It is the BEST lens out there! The only downside is it's weight, but I can live with that. Although I will say it feels a bit heavier now that I'm paying it off ;)
