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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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 ?

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.

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.

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.

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.

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 ;)
