First a short intro: I'm a serious amateur, not a professional, and I'm mainly a nature, landscape, and travel photographer. I mostly don't shoot sports, action, or kids. Keep this in mind as you read my review. For years, my workhorse telephoto zoom was a 70-200 f/2.8 VR (the original version), and for the most part it gave me spectacular results. When I switched from DX to FX in 2012 I continued to use this lens, but its limitations quickly became apparent -- especially bad corners, most evident at the long end of the range, at distance, and with smaller apertures. I knew going in that this lens had such a reputation, but needed to see for myself. When Nikon announced the f/4 version, I decided it was time to make the switch. The prospect of a smaller, lighter lens, with excellent ergonomics and corner-to-corner image quality, was too much to pass up. Was it a good change? Suffice to say that, although I still have the f/2.8 lens, I'll probably sell it soon because it just sits on my shelf unused. Compared to the f/2.8 lens, the f/4 version lacks one stop of lens speed (obviously), the heavy metal construction that allows the 2.8 to double as a melee weapon, and the built-in tripod collar. On the other hand, the f/4 has a lot going for it: - It's much lighter and smaller, taking up less space in my bag and putting less weight on my shoulders on long hikes. - The build quality is still very good, with the solid plastic construction found in many of Nikon's better lenses, with smoothly damped zoom and focus rings and fixed front and rear lens elements. - The image quality is very good and much, much better in the corners than the older f/2.8 version. - The f/4 version focuses much closer, which makes it good for near-macro, and I've read that there is actually better background separation with the f/4 version at minimum focus than the f/2.8 II version at its own minimum focus, because of the 2.8's focal length breathing. Portrait and wedding photographers care about that. - The tripod collar is not a big loss because the lens is so light. I tried the Nikon add-on collar but the lens/camera combo was actually better balanced without it. I use a combination L-bracket and small rail to get near perfect balance on a tripod. - The VR system on the f/4 is considerably better than that on the older f/2.8. I haven't tried the 70-200 f/2.8 VR II, which I've read solves the corner issue of the older model, but it's still bigger, heavier, and $1000 more expensive. I don't need the wider aperture, so for me, the f/4 version is perfect. A lot of people wonder about the 70-300 VR variable aperture zoom (f/4.5-5.6), at about a third of the price, and how the 70-200 f/4 can possibly be of any value in comparison. I had the 70-300 for several years, but hardly used it, and gladly got rid of it. The f/4 lens feels like a professional, precision tool, with smooth tactile operation; the 70-300 feels cheap in comparison, and I really never liked using it. Sure, the 70-300 goes to 300, but you can put a 1.4 TC on the 70-200 and get as good or better an f/5.6 280mm lens. It's no contest unless the price of the f/4 lens precludes its consideration for you. In conclusion: the f/4 is an excellent lens, and if you don't need the extra stop of lens speed or the tank-like build, is probably the best all-around choice.

I am not going to repeat what is already stated in most of the reviews here ..but wanted give my subjective review based on my ownership experience with 70-200 VR1, 70-200 VRII and currently this 70-200 f4 VR3. 70-200 VR1 - It is history. Period. It performed well on DX bodies and focus was good. But the length of the lens and older design was not ergonomically the best and makes it less compelling. 70-200 VR2 - An amazing lens with extremely fast focus. My copy was extremely sharp and focus was almost instantaneous in every lighting situation. However, the weight of the lens forced me to leave it back home on my longer hikes and landscape photoshoots.. there have been occasions where I missed the 120-200 range because this beauty was sitting back at home..all these weight issues despite owning one of the best backpacks available today (fstop)..once this lens is out the bag..you still need to hold with hand, balance it for handheld landscapes and lengthy portrait shoots ..it becomes a tiresome activity after a while. I was skeptical about moving to 70-200 VR3 f4 ..but wanted to give a try anyways.. My review on 70-200 f4 VR3? Extremely sharp center to corner, even wide open Some Chromatic Aberration - which goes away with one click on lens profile using Lightroom 4. Sharpness doesn't drop with a 1.4x tele converter (1.4x TC) ..recently shot soccer games at 280mm, f5.6 and couldn't tell the difference in sharpness with and without 1.4x TC. Focus is extremely good ..it is almost on par with 70-200 f2.8..still..I would say 70-200 f4 is only about 95% compared to 70-200 2.8 VR2. If you are shooting in low light all the time ..you might want to do some testing with both the versions and decide which one suits your needs better. For my use, 70-200 f4 suits better. Weight - the biggest advantage!! This lens is less than half the weight of 70-200 VR2 2.8 ..and I don't even need a tripod collar ..because the balance is better without tripod collar on my D600 Focus breathing - at close focus range ..this lens produces a true 200mm compared to 70-200 VR2 which is effectively ~145mm at close range focus ..this may be a big deal for certain set of users ..who are after tighter portraits and requiring a true 200mm on certain shots. Image Quality - lot said about this in other reviews and I am not going to repeat it..it is just stellar!! Accessory recommendation - Please don't buy the expensive tripod collar or even a cheap 3rd party tripod collar..you won't be needing one. This lens is lighter than a 24-70 2.8!! Overall - this lens provides an excellent, cost effective, back saving alternative for 70-200 2.8 VR2. In fact, this convinced me to sell my 70-200 VR2 2.8 and keep a lighter set up!
