Nikon 200mm f/2G ED VR II AF-S review
AF-S NIKKOR 200mm f/2G ED VR II: Telephoto Lens with Incredible Low Light
Performance The AF-S NIKKOR 200mm f/2G ED VR II, like its predecessor, is
an incredibly fast f/2 telephoto lens that incorporates Nikon?€™s
Vibration Reduction (VR) II Image Stabilization system. The VR system
provides up to four stops of correction to assist in creating blur-free
images while shooting hand-held, or for when capturing D-Movie video
content. The AF-S NIKKOR 200mm f/2G ED VR II also incorporates an Internal
Focusing (IF) system that allows movement of the optical elements within
the lens barrel and does not change barrel length. Three focus modes are
featured, with an A/M mode added to the conventional M/A and M modes. The
optical construction consists of 13 optical elements in nine groups
including three Extra-low Dispersion (ED) glass elements and one Super ED
glass element that effectively minimize chromatic aberration, even at the
widest aperture settings. Also included is a Tripod Detection Mode, which
automatically compensates for minute vibrations when mounted on a tripod
and allows users to keep VR image stabilization On and active ?€“ even
when the camera and lens are mounted on a tripod. The AF-S NIKKOR 200mm
f/2G ED VR II is optimal for all types of shooting including weddings,
portraits, sports, nature and fashion due to its quick response and
detailed lens design.
