Opinion:This is the first level lens I have, on D5100 I had only kit lenses and the 35mm DX, on the current d750 I had some lenses that were not excellent, including a tamron 70-200 not stabilized, good but that I gave away. Now I have the all-rounder 24-120 f4 vr, and this 70-200 G VRII, and between the two there is a really tangible difference. In addition to the greater aperture with the well-known advantages that I am not going to explain here, the rendering of the images is much better in every situation, already the jpgs of the second card are often more than satisfactory, in a much higher percentage than the 24-120. Then the VRII is really monstrous, freehand you can really dare, I took home shots with times like 1/6s and 1/8s, unthinkable stuff for the 24-120. The AF is also excellent, tested with the passage of the Frecce Tricolori over the head, and he did not miss a single shot. Lens highly recommended!
Pros:Excellent quality, sharpness, precision and autofocus speed
Cons:the important weight, but if you want this quality there are not many alternatives, cost of the new
Opinion:I have owned this lens for some years and it has been widely tested in numerous sports, wedding and fashion photo shoots, in any situation it has a crazy sharpness on the whole frame and a cleanliness in the shot, without vignetting and chromatic aberrations that has nothing to do with other lenses. I use it on D750 and Z6, replaced the old 80-200 f 2.8 for slow autofocus for sports. The only disadvantage if you can say so is bulk and weight, over time it is an important pear tree that "makes itself felt", moreover the cost of the new was really high, already more acceptable a good used guaranteed. Highly recommended
Pros:Sharpness, blurry, colors. A bomb on the F system!
Cons:The weight. It feels like spending hours in the gym... Maybe a bit slow with the af when used on the Z system with the Ftz adapter.
Opinion:Essential optics! To fully appreciate its qualities you must first desire it, save money and then ... Buy! Beautiful colors, sharpness, blurry, everything at the top! I still have to try it at night, but already in the interior it is more than fine. Surely it is heavy and feels. You need the backrests where to hook the car to be able to relax your arms every now and then (if held around the neck it hurts!).
Pros:A great lens throughout and with unique sharpness
Cons:For now none
Opinion:A very interesting lens, despite a bit "old" But not rivals even in 2022. I tried the Tamron 70-200 G2 sincerely not apple I feel to make a comparison the colors that returns the G2 are absolutely too cold and difficult to fix in post, even with a nikon D780. In my opinion By now we are getting used to the colors of tamron and we do not realize that the photos shared around no longer have color but seem too artificial, this is because more and more third-party optics are used and the post is no longer the same because unable to obtain a certain color that the nikon or Canon etc instead have well outlined. When I read that the Tamron G2 is better I am really amazed. Then another thing the Tamron G2 uses an innovative system si Beautiful but very delicate that can be ruined over time and consequently the sharpness maybe is no longer the same and with the passage of time can be affected, the nikon on this are reliable and durable obviously also canon etc. Then if you are looking for something more, then the NIKON FL is for you, but unfortunately I find it excessive, especially for the price too high. Returning to vr2 I do not consider it heavy, let's remember that a 2.8 and the quality usually weighs, then if considered that I also use the Nikon 200-500mm F5.6 for work that much heavier so it is all subjective. Really good stabilization works wonders. Obviously my vote is 10/10. Good Light to all!
Opinion:Objective with superlative optical quality. Sharpness, blurry, af,stabilizer,three-dimensionality,everything in this objective is at the highest level. Built very well it does not present problems with regard to reliability. Many complain about the weight problem but it is in the norm for a 70-200 f2.8 designed for the reflex system. Vote 10
