Pros: Superb

Cons: Terrible weight

Opinion: Unsurmountable quality objective, one of the best ever built. Focus, image quality, color, etc. The only, but fastidious defect is the weight that tires very species in the shots freehand, as long as it has no sturdy physique and strength. Also the price is not cheap, well the used one has a pretty heavy cost, but still worth it to use a definitely exceptional lens.

Pros: Colors, blurry, sharpness and finally an AF speed of light

Cons: I did not find any defects

Opinion: I claim that I bought it to change the old 80 200 pompon that, although as a lense was a lord, was far short of AF speed with modern machines. I've used it with both the D500 and the D750 .... a bomb.rnThe autofocus even on a moving subject is always in perfect focus.rnI think the price is high, but in the end are money that deserves to be spent.

Pros: build quality, aesthetics and color rendition.

Cons: not having it

Opinion: Stellar Optics, precise and incisive as a fulmine.rnVale every penny it costs and the weight is synonymous with quality and this gun is made to last a vita.rncon adequate cameras like the d810 offers fairy-tale images and portraits is simply spettacolare.Colori filled and blurred scream, prepunched is also great for knowing landscapes give great depth to the market scena.rnsul there are cheaper solutions but they appeared less brillanti.rn

Pros: constructive, fast and accurate AF quality, very efficient VR, sharpness to the extreme focal lengths, color fidelity, blurred.

Cons: Price ratio / low-performance, cutting significantly the focal maximum at short distances Focusing, drop in sharpness at the intermediate focal 90-120 mm, antirflessi treatment not very efficient

Opinion: The lens is very well built, with AF and VR very efficient, and it is very clear is that to 70 to 200 mm, at full aperture is always acceptable, but shows a bit 'of clarity decline to intermediate focal also apertures. greatly in size and gradually, maximum focal length by reducing the distance Focusing, even with the zoom ring that marks 200 mm, the minimum focusing distance of the lens, the focal maximum of only 130mm: this does not allow to do many photographs, especially tight portraits, etc: the plate details are not respected, and this view is a scam. The anti-reflection treatment is not very efficient for today's technology, but the 70-200 F 2.8 Nikon at home there is only this and so I adapted. strongly advise against buying this perspective, it costs too much and gives little, a 135 F 2.8 costs a third of a 200 F 2.8 and this light at short distances Focusing is a 135 mm F 2.8, nothing more .

Pros: build quality, strength, performance at all apertures and focal, blurred magic

Cons: Weight, size, cost

Opinion: And 'cold to the touch and forces to some effort to carry it around attached to a FX body, but has a zoom that does not regret a fixed lens, regarding the images that restituisce.rnColori perfect, three-dimensional and blur are only the first great qualities that come to mind. rnStabilizzazione very good and very fast autofocus, virtually never moved away from my D750 ... Engraved like a knife .. In short, I love it!

Pros: Stratospheric quality, sharpness, blurring, return of colors

Cons: weight, for someone focus breathing

Opinion: Great optics, the nikon summa for that range of focal points. Professional, indestructible, built entirely of metal alloy in japan as it once was. It weighs, it's true, but the substance is there. The little brother 70-200 f 4 VR (I also have that, excellent lens for light use) is pre-10 very close but try to take a shot with the lens and you find yourself with at least one misaligned lens, the plastic is plastic and the physics is unavoidable... Focus breathing is a problem only for those who do not understand a stump. It is part of the project specifications, it is wanted and serves to allow the photographer to shoot even in a small environment as can be a room. It costs the right, we run about 800 euros difference with f4 and I guarantee you that there are all. Vote 10, it couldn't have been otherwise! MAY 2020 UPDATE: Taken from the monkey I also purchased the 70-200 FL. Magnetic diaphragm, fluorite lens etc.... it's a plastic! The optical performance between the two is absolutely indistinguishable in double-blind series trials, on the other hand the professional barrel in magnesium league we can forget about the AFL, as Nikon says. Result: I kept my beautiful VR II and immediately sold the FL, and I live happy....

Pros: Build quality, contrast, light balance, sharpness.

Cons: Weight.

Opinion: Very happy with this fantastic lens, one of the three lenses TOP Nikon. Treatment to Nano Crystals, makes the most of this lens, which perfectly balance the light and gives a great contrast, a lens to keep in life, I have combined with the D750, show assieme.Il weight is felt, but the satisfaction in using it compensates and gives every shot a thrill. Nn is true that the price for all, but is a lens that is always valid.

Pros: Exceptional quality and color rendering. Great for portrait and sports photos.

Cons: Heavy and cumbersome.

Opinion: If it were not for the weight and size I will not ever would remove from the D700. Personally I joined the 14 -24 G ED; 24 -70 G ED and 105 micro all f2.8 for a park optical fabulous but heavy backpack. With the TC-20E III get good results although really difficult to handle. Comfortable the tripod mount. Good yield even wide open. VR very effective. It conveys a sense of strength and professionalism.

Pros: Very nice, I do not think there will be contraindications, beautiful portraits, I took it as a replacement to the 70-300 that still did its job, but this is another music obviously is an object professional and costs challenging but no money well spent for a final product.

Cons: I think the weight is part of the type of lens, so no

Opinion: Just taken, along with doubler tc III 2, I made some shots, fabulous, now with the 24-120 f4 think I have completed a spectacular outfit. This kind of goals, compensate my lack of experience, as with the 750 is almost impossible to miss a photo. Certainly it is to consider the overall weight, I think the product is worth it because the quality of the photos speak for themselves. Mostly I use it for sports photos and I have the problem of transportation in your bag for long periods.

Pros: Image quality and optical performance

Cons: Weight

Opinion: Is not a lens but walking is very satisfying to use. It is flexible and makes it well even in difficult light conditions. I use it on a D750 and also pulling the Iso behaves very well. The focus is fast and accurate. Costs a lot but, when used, you understand why. Fantastic image quality and optical performance that is not expected to be a zoom.

Pros: EVERYTHING (except weight)

Cons: Weight

Opinion: A fantastic lens excellent in every aspect of view ... perfect for portraits ... I'd say the only negative is the peso..abbinato body FF and flash slide gets really tiring circled after not too long ... even the cost of the new lens is high but fortunately I managed to find it used ... other flaws I found none ... the best qualities are definitely blurred and sharpness to TA

Pros: Construction; undisputed quality; sharpness; focus; stabilizer

Cons: Weight.

Opinion: Finally, after no little waiting, I managed to buy the second lens of the triad to stand alongside the superb 24-70 f2.8. rnChe say, a show. The VR then coupled to the D800 is a hand from heaven. rnResa optical indescribable and blurred stupendo.rnVenendo dall'80-200 True union, we are on a different level from all points of view, even if the True union is still defend well especially as costs. rn

Pros: Maximum sharpness at any aperture, stabilizer fast and of course quality

Cons: if not the weight which in my opinion is against any relative

Opinion: Optical fabulous, if it were not for the spaces matrimonialista I would use it in the whole event ... rnsu d800 not be no problem at times even taking a little longer ... perfectly sharp pictures at 1/60 f2. 8 and beyond wanting and having a nice steady hand .. rnusato on flagships perfectly balances the weight, a little less if you use on pro bodies but with the added weight of the battery grip is rebalanced ... rnmolto recommended for those wishing to a portrait lens, foreground etc ... from the very first use gives a feeling of security, robustness, etc. ...

Pros: NitidezzarnQualità costruttivarnPrecisionernQualità blurred

Cons: Focus BreathingrnPeso?

Opinion: Weight perfectly balanced on my D300s, lens already quite clear to 2.8 in exciting central aperture. I do not know whether my copy but I expected a bit more fast autofocus, whatever I find in my level of 24-70. Few times, but it happened to me, with the UV filter (B + W Top of the range), the autofocus sbagliasse.rnPer the rest, is of rugged design and impeccable, VR very efficient. For me it is not a big problem, not enough to make me prefer the old 70-200 VR, but I found the cut on the focal length equivalent to 135mm even at the minimum distance of focus when set to 200mm, a defect does not conform to a perspective of this level or at least would have to be aligned to the focal length of cutting all the competition, many ... Defocused pleasant to say the least, if it were not so heavy staccherei never out of the car ... Focus breathing aside, highly recommended who can invest in this lens.

Pros: Sharpness, colors, construction.

Cons: AF is not very fast, and small hood ridiculous, VR whistles, weight, cost.

Opinion: It has a yield indisputable and is very robust, so professionally speaking is the best choice. The lens hood makes me laugh a little and are not sure of its effectiveness due to its size. In my example the VR blows for a while .. no really, and the af is not the fastest on D700. Before I had the canon f2.8 smooth and was faster. rnPesa a lot and at the end of a workday generally I find myself to hate it because it destroyed me back and neck, but the results are excellent in terms of color reproduction, sharpness and effectiveness of VR.rnSe it cost a little less would be almost perfect!

Pros: Grende optics in all conditions and able to enhance the excellent qualities of a body like that of the D800.

Cons: The weight that is felt after a day and the cost that is felt for a longer time.

Opinion: After a few years with the D90 and the 70-300 VR that gave me great satisfaction are passed to the D800 which required a gradual upgrade of the optics. I tried the optics due to the availability of the retailer and I decided to purchase. The first field trials I was immediately convinced on investment thanks to the great quality of the images and the D800 are enhanced features of this excellent body. Of course the cost is not of the lowest as well as the size and weight that are felt especially for people like me who travels a lot for work and has to add the tools of his passion (body + lenses). In short, feedback = 10 praise we leave it to future versions lighter, smaller and perhaps even cheaper!

Pros: FF fantastic resolution on both the center and the edges, bright, a true champion among the medium tele-

Cons: the cost, but the quality of this lens is well worth the financial effort

Opinion: After happily owned the 80-200 2.8 I bought this jewel by Nikon. For stunning sharpness and contrast, excellent anti-vibration system, and often the pictures do not require any intervention in PP. Coupled with the D800 creates a combination of excellence currently unreachable. Recommended for those who seek optical perfection

RnNitidezza amazing at all focal lengths, bright and fast, quiet autofocus, very good stabilization system that is also safely use a free hand to some ora.rnrnL 'only flaw is the limit but not weight, in fact using it throughout the day requires at least a monopod for the latest photos at sunset ... rnLo definitely recommend to all, rather, if you can, make you give ... :-) Rn rn

Pros: Strength, great sharpness, blurred fantastic, autofocus really quality

Cons: Weight, cost and space with the hood

Opinion: It 's the lens that I had dreamed about for years and after buying gave me great satisfaction. I used it in fact only the portrait and - since I have the stolen along with all the equipment - I regret every day. Using it with the D300 needed a little 'attention to avoid micro-moved in the case of reportage photography and when I did not want to raise too much sensitivity: the weight is felt in the long run on your hands.

Pros: sharpness is focussed lightning

Cons: heavy and cumbersome

Opinion: I bought this in a shop type mediaworld, I do not know what he was doing there like a jewel in the midst of lenses 100 euro and compact digital cameras, the fact is that it is the only and unsold for many years I was able to buy it at 950 euro with Nital warranty (warranty no longer be activated by two years, but brand-nuvo .. I see that I could sell also being new to 1400, but the few times I used it, I can say that this lens will remain with me until passion for photography will not fade. now, however, I find a 24 120 f4, an 85 1.8 and this beast .. I could sell the 24 120 to get a 24 70 2.80 and keep the 85 for portraits .. I accept sugerimenti. hello and thank you.

Pros: Autofocus is lightning little scary detail already f4 zoom control with perfect resistance

Cons: size and weight marked

Opinion: the best lens I have ever comprato.utilizzato already 2.8 details are incredible from f4 d8 has a detail that I can not describe in words ... quiet and fast autofocus. would be to use from morning to evening from satisfactions that can give. the only flaw flaw if you can call it is the weight and bulk that freehand after an hour or 2 starts to be felt but a perspective that is a "sacrifice" that you can do. just plugged in my little d7000 thought I had changed the body of the reflex was bright and lit up the viewfinder. I remained open-mouthed ... recommended 200%

Pros: Sharpness at the top, construction, speed, yield duplicate.

Cons: reduction of the minimum focal distance of focus.

Opinion: Nikon AF-S 70-200mm f/2.8 G ED VR II is an extraordinary photographic medium, suitable for sports and portrait, well built becomes a deadly weapon when working in low light thanks to the VR II prmette really time to 200 equal to 1/15 sec. excellent engraving already Ta, with 14 tc becomes a 100-280 f4 excellent, with 17 tc reach the 340mm F4.8 with a noticeable drop in performance but still soddsifacente, the 2.0 III transforms the canvas into a powerful 140 -400 f5.6, even if the fall is clearly visible species at full aperture, however, remains fully usable if you do not have large needs of sharpness,, eg birds .. the 70-200 vr II, loses flow to the minimum focusing distance fuoca reducing the focal length to 135mm massimia a problem? not for me. but I think it is a defect not suitable for a lens so expensive, otherwise very good quality, even at the edges with a light falloff at the edges really reduced compared to the previous model. recommended product to all except to those who wants to use a macro.

Pros: Incidentally, precise, sturdy, comfortable and rewarding

Cons: Expensive?

Opinion: A lens really exciting. Recorded immediately by 2.8 does not feel the need to close the iris. The stabilization is absolutely perfect and the autofocus fulminio. It 'a zoom to a fixed size (does not stretch during the trip) which makes it extremely easy to handle. The zoom adjustment is soft and mellow, very accurate. Mates with good results with the TC-20EIII. Loses nothing by speed autofocus and stabilization loses two stops is exceptionally recorded while being used with a multiplier. An extraordinary goal.

Pros: Solidity to the whole proof, waterproof even under heavy rain, thanks to tropicalization (but 'I've never tested in a sandy desert!), Ultrasonic motor very fast and ready, hood functional but a bit' bulky. Of heavy bodies and big as my D3s is sufficiently balanced to allow shots on the fly thanks to the good stabilizer. Quality 'lenses at the top at all focal lengths and incisiveness from ... surgical scalpel!

Cons: Weight not feathered but consistent with the solidity of its architecture, considerable size, especially with a lens inserted. High cost but adequate performance.

Opinion: Using this perspective along with others, all Nikkor lenses: 14-24, 24-70, 70-300, 35 f/2.0, 50 f/1.4, 85 f/1.4. A few months ago I had the opportunity to use this lens for close-ups during a series of jazz concerts, free-hand without using flash. The extreme sharpness showed on the faces of musicians every little drop of sweat. Recommended for those who really want the best, to equal 'range of focal lengths.

Pros: Excellent optical quality at all focal lengths, strength and impeccable build quality, tropicalization, convenient tripod collar that balances the weight after pairing the flagship D3 x S, At the top of the class

Cons: Of significant weight, expensive for many, with its bulky hood ...

Opinion: After you buy to make a professional hat-trick with the 24-70 and 14-24 are passed to the practical test after ever had a lot of satisfaction from a 70-200 manufactured by another company, the less light, less bulky but very sharp. The first few shots made me breathe a sigh of relief, engraving to scream great contrast to say the least. Photos taken with a very short time in a ford mountain in search of details. The outstanding balance has helped me for having this almost always taken in precarious conditions in the river. I recommend this lens to anyone looking hair on the egg ...
