Nikon Nikkor AF-S 70-200mm f/4G ED VR

Much lighter, smaller and cheaper more compact than the f/2.8 version. Very well constructed too. VERY good VR. A must own zoom. It delivers superb results.

This lens is still a must have for full frame cameras and portraits. AF is very fast and silent. And you can find it for a cheap price now. Look at the high sharpness with this meerkat photo or this fish sample photo And it works great with new Z series mirrorless cameras.

Strength: This lens cannot be faulted! It is supersharp, and otherwise almost optically perfect! And only as big/heavy that it has to be. Weakness: But is it worth the enormous price? I think not. The newest AF-P 70-300 f/4.5-5.6VR (for FX) and the newest AF-P DX 70-300 f/4.5-6.3VR is both as sharp and otherwise "perfect", and you get 100mm longer reach. The question then is: is it worth paying double or triple for 0.5-1,5 stop of light? I sold mine, and bought the 70-300 instead.

There is nothing to dislike about this lens, im using it on a Nikon D7100 with great results. I purchased a Sigma 50-100, 1.8 which is twice as heavy and is hit and miss with the focus, even after calibrating it but this lens is spot on every time and is a permanent fixture on my camera now.

This lens is awesome. Its very sharp even stopped down to f/4. I didnt want to carry around a 3 lbs lens to fill my 70-200mm needs and this lens is the perfect solution. Its lightweight and very sharp.
