Opinion:I was looking for a 70-200 f2.8 in good condition... I had both the f4 little brother and the 80-200 bihiera. This is just from another planet. Sharp at maximum opening, stabilized enough and built in an excellent way. Weight for me is not a problem, indeed, from a feeling of solidity. Used with D4 and D810 goes a wonder. The only sore note, if you can say so, is the backlit yield (with sun in the lens) that makes the image veiled, but nothing that can not be corrected in PP. Moreover, a rare case in the digitized era in the extreme, it has a flare, which gives the photos a special touch. To those who think it's a dated optics, I'm just saying try it first. With less than a thousand euros, you take home a professional Nikon canvas and not a third-party one resulting in AF problems.
Pros:Robustness, AF, brightness, tropicalization, bokeh
Cons:For my level and aspiration nothing
Opinion:Purchased with swap used at a great price. Despite the age of the lens aesthetically looks good. Very solid, a bit heavy but could not be otherwise seen the materials with which it is built. Excellent manual focus ring, smooth and precise, that of the focal a bit less fluid and less linear towards the extremes, 70mm and 200mm, but by safety anyway. The buttons (AF/M, VR ON/OFF, VR Normal/active, focus limiter) are duretti but precise and safe. Tested in the halls not always well lit (basket). Incredible results (compared to what I could do with the AF-S 70-300 or Col 18-140 or even with the fixed 105mm 2.8). Rapid and precise Autofocus. I managed to shoot smoothly at 1/800s with F/2.8 aperture (or f/3.2) and ISO acceptable to my sensor (with ISO = 2000 in PP increase some exposure without curing too much noise reduction, for ISO from 2500 to 3200 I apply the NR correction). The PDC is fine even with f/2.8 (I was afraid it was too narrow but you can focus on the subjects and with good margin front/rear) and then I take advantage to reduce shutter speeds and freeze movements (the balloon does not travel fast in basketball). On ISO I do not go beyond the values described before otherwise the noise can not handle it adequately. Also tested for birdlife (with obviously not too distant subjects, focal 200mm) and sharpness with extraordinary details. Natural colors not saturated. Blurred for beautiful background. I hardly ever use the VR and therefore it is not a problem the fact that it is first generation. No doubt the best lens I own and paid little indeed. Very satisfied.
Opinion:Professional and robust lens that gives the idea of ??being able to withstand more than a few violent bumps. Optical quality unquestionable and already highlighted by those who preceded me. With lens hood resists good flare and vignetting f / 2.8 does not disturb. Precise AF and VR that allows you to drop off considerably below the safety times. Highly recommended.
Opinion:professional-grade optics a handyman for a few saw not really affordable price rnL'incisione of this zoom is excellent, vr good and given the weight allows you to go below the safety times to avoid camera shake, autofocus is fast but in conditions low light sometimes does not engage immediately, the lens hood is really hurt as hooking you risk breaking it easily rnPer else is a perspective that straconsiglio, 9 vote
Cons:all the flicker of photographers, improvised or inexperienced.
Opinion:sharp enough, true to 2.8 notice vignetting, but I defy any photographer to take full a jerk, a minimum of PP correction cmq to consider. The rest, poor lens hood, various details of fast focusing, responsive vr, etc., all the neuroses of frames, probably not at all satisfactory., We are not all of the talents with every shot. Personally, I find this perspective, professionale.Il rest, lasciaolo technocrats on duty who would go for the woods with sinar to look for the hair in the egg.
