  • I must say this is an outstanding lens producing very clear pictures
  • It certainly takes better pictures than ANY 70-200mm lens I have used before and the guys in the store all said it was the best they had ever used

Reviews around feature (5.00 of 5)

  • 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
  • When hand holding the lens, I rest the lens foot in my palm and my fingers can easily reach the focus and zoom rings, as well as, the focus buttons

Reviews around button (5.00 of 5)

  • Love the autofocus buttons
  • The buttons work very well when I want to aiutofocus with those and then shoot with the main button, just like using back button autofocus

Reviews around glass (5.00 of 5)

  • When hand holding the lens, I rest the lens foot in my palm and my fingers can easily reach the focus and zoom rings, as well as, the focus buttons
  • I have had my fair share glass, trading here and there, since the VR1
  • Now I have a bag full of top tier glass and this is one of my crown jewels, second only to my 85mm f/1.4 Zeiss Milvus which is truly a work of art
  • However, they do represent some of the best glass out there

Reviews around work (5.00 of 5)

  • 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.

Reviews around mm (5.00 of 5)

  • 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

  • When hand holding the lens, I rest the lens foot in my palm and my fingers can easily reach the focus and zoom rings, as well as, the focus buttons
  • 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
