  • My Precious
Color: Black
Nikon 70-200mm f/2.8 VR ii - ah this is one fine lens indeed, talking about the build, speed, the clarity and definitely the quality of the imagery that this baby delivers. Truly a Nikon Legendary Lens. Since, I am not very knowledgable on the technical tic tack talk about this lens - I will stay away from those topics and (Good for you) give a more everyday words description for this Jewel. Getting excited? I am just by thinking about shooting this lens again. Pros: What has not been said about this lens? It looks pretty cute? Solid feel, Strong in my hands (you will not crush this with your hands), produces good enough (kidding there) insanely great photos, this Professional Grade lens - when handled correctly will produce photos that are sharper and clearer (insert more adjectives for that). Right off the box, after you open the box, you would already feel the Aura that this Jewel has- one touch and you know that it is not your give-away kit lens. Love the f/2.8 - as I recently understood how to use it and how to use it for the good of photography. The price is not a con, even though it really hurts my pocket to say it - the price is actually a plus - this way only the Professional, only the Serious and only those that can save money - are the only ones to purchase such a glass of this caliber, thus giving it the respect that it deserves. I would love it if more people get to use this glass, but sometimes, people are just not ready to use this yet. There is a learning curve, and I may say I have not gone through the whole of it yet. Even in that state of knowledge and lack thereof, this lens focuses faster than any lens I have and gives me that buttery-creamy Bokeh, that never ceases to give me and my clients the chills. The lens has some weight on it, must be all that metal thing that is found around the glass and stuff, this means your lens is very well protected from the elements, it is made from ... which country again... doesn't matter, what matters is by the feel of it, this is a serious gear, not a flimsy flamsy - I do not know why people consider this as a con? Truly - you are here because you are possibly looking for a way to produce the best possible imagery with no less than the best possible camera gear (the funds will allow). Of course the best photos need the best sacrifice sometimes, and that is what it is. Many "photographers" and "enthusiasts" out there and here in Amazon, want the best but are not willing to shell out the big bucks nor the physical sacrifice for high quality imagery that they seek, and that my friends is quite sad. Photography is not about convenience - it is about (insert what photography means for you)... Of course talent plays a part as well, do not forget however that we have the technology now, we have the good technology and we have the not so good, what you are looking at today is the best technology and it is at the tip of your fingers, come and get it! CLICK ADD TO CART NOW. Cons: huh? (other reviewers say price, weight, and some abnormal aberrations) - I do not believe that those are too bad. (read the Pro statements above) - the negatives that people talk about is actually about themselves. Lens too heavy? go work out! lens too pricey, save up for it! some kind of a technical mumby jumby i dont understand non- normal word usage jargon - i refer you to 1-800-Geek squad, and you can talk to them who has a what and a what. Thing is, there is a con for everything - it is up to YOU my online reader to figure a way around it. Do no be a stick in the mud (Stuck and will not budge). You are better than that my online reviewer... so go on and read some more. Reviewer: Josh - I am an amateur photographer - I work full time as something that does boring things, I do however - shoot business portfolios, engagements sessions and wedding days - Yes, am getting paid to do it as well. I would not call myself a Professional as I am not being paid as much as my boring job. Obviously, I shoot with Nikon DSLRs - (D80, D2Xs & D7000), thinking maybe time to move to Full (FX) cameras huh? I appreciate testing new products (rental or actually buying to own). Oh yeah, I do not work with NIKON or any of its affiliates ever in the past or present (I wish however that they send me the newest stuff to try out). If anyone can get me in touch with their group, pls leave a comment. Thank you in advance. I have actually gotten the chance (prior to my purchase of this lens from Amazon), to rent this lens from a popular camera gear rental online company - I used it for a few days and I liked it, it is a solid work horse that looks good and feels good to use. After a few days, I used this for a Wedding Gig and I was very impressed by how fast I was able to work with it, wondering what I was using and thinking on the prior weddings that I shot. The reception was at a penthouse of this hotel and as the sun went down, there goes our natural light - we had to depend on the speed of the lens and technical know-how. This baby delivers! ( the 70-200mm f/2.8 was attached to a D7000 and I had another D7000 with a 17-55mm f/2.8). Yes, after sometime at that very evening my body (my ankles and lower back) was feeling the weight of all these wonderful gear hugging my body comfortably as a run and chase the excited bride and groom of this day, I started working out more. A day after the shoot - I went and upload the photos from the 32 Gig memory cards to my Mac - I shot about 3,100 ++ photos. The first thing that popped in my mind... awesome photos Josh - are you sure you shot these? Yes! That is a wonderful shot, aah I got the shot, Yes, this is the one, we can put this on the cover and such. After an hour I knew that I must buy this lens (70-200mm), we wants it, we needs it, we must not be separated anymore, My Precious (sorry creepy moment there). Recommendation: Please, if you have the means, and I mean by means, is funds. If you have the funds - I urge you, actually I implore you to go ahead and take the plunge and purchase this lens. I use the word please to imply the importance in a little more subtle way. If you are like me, want to shoot with the best of what the creators of Nikon & Nikkor gear can come up with and want to create the best humanly possible imagery that your senses + your camera gear + your computer = can produce - come and get this precious, I mean lens. Something worth noting is that there are cheaper alternatives out there (Tokina, Tamron, or instagram) I will not be recommending any of those (3rd party) brand as I have 0 knowledge about them other than the fact that they exist. I will however recommend this lens again to you, my good online reader friend - I will recommend this to a friend, I would recommend this to an enemy, I would even recommend it to rival wedding photographers who shoot with Nikon bodies. Yeah, it's that good. What else can I say to make you buy this precious, I mean lens. I thank you for your time in reading this - and I do hope that this review helps you make your purchase/review. Pls click the thingy if you think this review helped you out (so that other seekers will be able to find) Please feel free to leave any cool comments or any rocking questions - ~ Josh ... show more

  • simply the best
Color: Black
I got this after I tried out the F/4. I must say this is a better lens but only because it has better low light performance that I am looking for and better blur at the wider aperture and I can use the 1.4x teleconvertor and still be at F/4. At a price point of over $1000 higher than the F/4, it is only worth it if you think you can get out of what you need. This is similar conversation when people compared the 85mm f1.8 vs 85mm f/1.4. Both lens are great and you can't go wrong with either. That said, if you can afford it, buy it!. If you have a smaller budget, definitely get the 70-200 f/4 as you would not regret it either. Good - one of the best lens Nikon has every made - great focal range between 70-200mm Ugly - expensive $2400 usually, sometimes it goes to $2100 when Amazon price matches another vendor (I love you Amazon) - heavy, you will get a good workout using this lens. Definitely recommend at least a monopod if you're going to use this. I haven't lugged this around on my neck yet and I don't plan to. Bottom Line - super high performance lens - must have for telephoto (or use it in the ranges in between such as 85 through 135mm for portrait work) - great to use it with a 1.4x teleconverter and only losing 1 f/stop to F/4 and get up to 280mm reach. Beats carrying another 70-300 f4.5-5.6 telephoto and image quality is better than the 70-300. Below is a summary of how I use all of my lens today and I hope it will help you find what you are looking for if you have similar needs as mine: * AF-S 50mm f/1.4: Great for infants and walk-around lens on the street. I use this lens most of the time for infant pictures because 1) I don't want to use flash when infants have their eyes open even if I have a softbox/umbrella. 2) lightweight 3) low light performance at f/1.4. I also uses this when I'm out of the house because it's not in-you-face when you pull it out of you bag so people won't notice you. This lens also makes me move around a bit to be more creative vs. just zoom in and out. 50mm lens makes me think more about the shots. * AF-S 60mm f/2.8 micro: Great macro lens: I use this for very close up shots. I can get as close to less than an inch away even though the minimum focal length isn't listed as being 1 inch away. You will want good lighting since flash will be useless when you are this close to the subject. I take photos of baby lips, eyes, face, hands and feet, & other objects such as jewelry * watches. Basically any fairly stationary subjects that I want to highlight the details and intentional imperfections/wrinkles, etc. I sometimes wonder if I should use this all the time instead of my 50mm but I find the 50mm better at non-macro shots because it focus faster and lets in 4 times more light. * AF-S 85mm f/1.8 : I use this most of the time for adult portraits and it has very good low light performance as well. I choose this over the f/1.4 version because the other reviews I've read on the web did not justify the extra $1000 spend for marginal performance improvement and unless I am getting paid to take pictures all the time, I don't see the need to pay the extra cost for the f/1.4. This lens also makes me move around a bit to be more creative vs. just zoom in and out. * AF-S 24-70mm f/2.8: I use this when I just don't know what kind of pictures I could be taking and need to have zoom & I don't have to move around as much. While I don't take landscape pictures (24mm) often, I will use this for a large group outing, birthday parties when I may need to get a wide shot of a lot of people in a room and be able to have a little bit of zoom capability and not have to walk up so close to the people's face. This allows me to get some candid shots when needed. It's fairly heavy at 2 lbs and huge when you put on the hood so I almost never use this lens when I'm on the street because it attracts a lot of unwanted attention. I wouldn't want this hanging on my neck or shoulders for a long period of time. * AF-S 70-200mm f/2.8 vr2 : This is one of my favorite lens only because I can use it for portraits as well (with some lighting support) and I can get really good candid shots since I can be much farther away 10-20ft from my subjects and able to get a nice picture. I do have to crop at times to get rid of the cluttered background but with the D600 camera, I have enough megapixel details to crop my pictures when needed. This is obviously a monster lens so I avoid taking it for street photos even though I've had some nice pictures and experiences on the street but it's so big... I've had people stopping me asking me if I'm a paparazzi and which celebrity I am stalking..... haha. It's almost over 3 lbs so I definitely wouldn't want this hanging on my neck or shoulders for a long period of time. * AF-S 70-200mm f/4: this is also a great lens and a fantastic alternative to the 2.8 version. At over $1000 less, this is a bargin and great lens if you're taking photos at good lighting conditions (outdoor, have flash or good indoor lighting). Otherwise it may be problematic for you at F/4. ... show more

  • Fantastic lens! I can get shots now that were not possible before!
Color: Black
I received this lens today and am thoroughly impressed! Shots from 30-40 yards away are crisp and full of contrast, much sharper than the 70-300 VR it replaced in my bag. A word of caution: it is HEAVY! I am used to shooting with the (mostly) plastic 70-300 and relative to that lens, this feels like solid metal and glass (which it is). Yes, it is almost 5X the cost, yet your pictures will be brighter, sharper and have more contrast than the 70-300MM VR. Not cheap but you are getting a FANTASTIC lens that will last for years. ***** UPDATE 1/19/10 ***** My lens has been returned to the store I bought it from due to the "flaking" issue (on inside of lens, you can see particles that could be small flakes/dust) that seems to be not uncommon with this lens. While pictures that I have taken seem to be dust/debris free, it is VERY concerning that a pro lens that many (myself included) have paid $2400 for, has ANY issues. I contacted Nikon about this and they said that this was normal. Huh? I am VERY disappointed that this lens is not perfect cosmetically. Even if Nikon says that it will not affect your shots, you may have trouble reselling this lens down the line to those who are wary of copies that exhibit this. I would wait a few months for QC to make sure that this issue, whether it affects images or not, is resolved. Until then, I am shooting with my 24-70. ... show more
