Image stabilization now has 4 settings, this is absolutely a great feature and one feature that I wish the VR 2 had
The VR 3 also has four circular programmable buttons on the side of the lens and while this is a nice feature I don't know if it would be very useful for me given the type of pictures I

I am very happy to report that all three tele-converters work very well with this newest offering
(though they got amazingly close!)Not only do the tele-converters work well at the maximum telephoto range for 200mm but quite decent results occur throughout the 70-200mm range.
These work extremely well on my Nikon 400mmf2.8 as one would expect.

but I recently got the new D850 and a quick trip to the zoo today resuled in some of the sharpest 200mm zooms I have every recorded.
During my almost 2 hours of intense testing of this lens I have come to the conclusion that it is the best 70-200mm lens on the market, but the price tag stings like a bee

Hence why I did not come home with one in my camera bag :-(I went to the Camera Store near me yesterday and had a nice long hands on test with this lens while getting to know the guys at the store a little better
but I can tell you that overall I was getting some sharper hand held shoots at slower shutter speeds
