Customer Reviews
Excellent sharpness
I purchased this lens to reach out a bit further and to complement the wide angle 12-24mm recently purchased. The 70-200mm lens sports an f2.8 so it captures a lot of light however I have found indoor photography near impossible with this lens with automatic settings. The 12-24mm lens is "only" an f4 yet seems to do much better capturing light for indoor photographs. The two understatements in other reviews are this lens is big. It is not just big it is an unweildy appendage. Forget about putting your camera in a bag with this lens. However the sharpness of this lens is trully amazing. The 12-24mm lens also produces excellent photos but nothing like the 70-200mm lens. For outdoor photography the 70-200mm lens is really extraordinary. The VR feature is also generally very helpful in capturing tack sharp photos handheld. I took a photo of a plantation in south Louisiana from a distance inside a car handheld. Zooming into the picture later revealed the entire field was tack sharp across the entire photo. In summary this is a trully extraordinary lens for outdoor photography. Im very glad I purchased it despite the gargantuan size and hefty price. Im using this with a Nikon D80.
Nice...but...
Ive used this lens for almost two years now at my job at a daily newspaper. It is far from perfect. It is however very good. Quality of lens build is not perfect as it has needed repair to the mount. The rubber grips around the barrel has worked itself loose and stretched itself and is in danger of coming off. The VR is audible in quiet situations but works excellent. I feel the lens barrel itself is too narrow and the lens for my tastes it too long when capped and in my bag. Image quality is very good. I used a Tamron 70-210 2.8 LD for nearly 10 years before purchasing this Nikon. The Nikon auoto focus is not any faster or more accurate than the older Tamron. Image quality is slightly better with the Nikon over the ten year old Tamron. The Tamron is much heavier however. Overall for the price of the Nikon I am disapointed in what I get for a flagship 2.8 big zoom.
Totally Amazing Totally Worth the Money
So much has been written about this lens I dont know how much I can add. All I can say is if youre thinking about getting it dont hesitate. I shoot it on a Nikon D300 body - I was previously using the Nikkor 18-200mm VRII to shoot swim and water polo meets outside and in daylight but needed something for indoor venues low light and fast action. Man it was hard to put down all that money but after shooting it the first time any thought of "should I really have done this?" went out the window. I love this lens. Exceeded all my expectations. Yeah it is heavy especially with a D300 but the way its built and the way it performs I carry it gladly. The sharpness the color the speed the bokeh... just... beautiful... Happy and proud to own this piece of equipment.
