Nikon 70-200mm f/2.8G ED-IF VR II AF-S review
The AF-S NIKKOR 70-200mm f/2.8G IF-ED VR II: Essential Optics Refined The
?€?go-to?€? lens of demanding professionals and serious
enthusiasts, the 70-200mm f/2.8 is one of the most useful and sought after
high-performance lenses for sports, wildlife, portrait, travel and news
photographers. Nikon has further refined the lens with an enhanced optical
formula featuring seven extra low dispersion (ED) glass elements. These
elements provide the ultimate in rendering characteristics to capture
vibrant, high-resolution images with optimal contrast. Image quality is
further enhanced by Nikon?€™s Nano Crystal Coat, which reduces
instances of lens flare and ghosting, elevating optical performance, even
in tricky conditions such as those found in professional sports setting and
stage events. Designed to deliver the pinnacle of image quality in a
variety of conditions, the new 70-200mm VR lens also includes a Silent Wave
Motor (SWM) for fast, quiet autofocusing. The SWM takes full advantage of
3D tracking autofocus (AF) systems, such as those found on the FX-format
D3X, D3 and D700 digital SLR cameras. Three focus modes are available
?€” M, A/M and M/A ?€” for automatically focusing, manually
focusing or fine tuning AF performance to best suit photographers?€™
needs. Nine rounded diaphragm blades contribute to a more attractive bokeh,
allowing photographers to create soft and more naturally separated
backgrounds that better highlight the subject.
