Nikon AF-S NIKKOR 70-200mm f/4G ED VR Lens

Product Information

zoom with a focal range of 70-200mm is an excellent complement to a 24-70mm standard zoom on an FX body. Photos of test charts are taken across the range of apertures and zooms (where available), then analyzed for sharpness, distortion and chromatic aberrations. I know that many of our readers have been patiently waiting for me to publish my upcoming Nikon 70-200mm f/4G VR Review (Update: the review has been posted right here).

Nikon AF-S 70-200mm f/4G ED VR review - Digital Camera World

Filter size of 67mm is a definite disadvantage for the Nikon 70-200mm f/4G – it is the only one in the group that does not have the standard 77mm filter thread.

Autofocus speed of the 70-200mm f/4G VR is excellent, I would say very close to the AF motor on the 70-200mm f/2. Fujifilm's newest camera aims to bring modern AF, improved sensor stabilization and video recording technology into the medium format realm.

version in October of 2012 – the AF-S Nikkor 70-200mm f/4G ED VR, which is designed to work on both full-frame (FX) and cropped-factor sensor (DX) DSLR cameras. Nikon has been exclusively using this coating technology on higher-end lenses and if you compare some of the recent lenses with their older counterparts that do not have it, you will probably notice the difference in color rendition as well. If you are looking for a good wildlife lens + TC combination, I would not recommend the 70-200mm f/4G VR with the TC-20E III.If you look at the specifications comparison from the earlier part of the review, you will see that Sigma has the most complex optical formula, with more lens elements and groups than other lenses (including the Nikon 70-200mm f/2. For every single composition on the D800, I have three ones on the 5D3 out of which at least one will fare pretty good (but wow the sensor on the D800).

Still, plenty of metal is used in the lens – it has a metal zoom ring (under rubber), metal mount and metal parts are used to hold optical elements. Those who talk about weight should bear in mind that this is only a 200mm lens and the F/4 Aperture will means you could only mount a 1.

VR II + TC-20E III, you can get pretty decent results even in less than ideal lighting conditions, because it is still an f/5.

AF-operation is pretty quiet on the outside, but if you record video with the built-in microphone every focus-movement starts and stops with an audible “clack” and the AF-drive can also be heard in-between – although at a lower level than the noise from its bigger brother.

It’s also light enough to not require a tripod mounting ring for shooting with a tripod or monopod, although Nikon offers one as an optional extra. Be sure to accurately read through all the assigned characters (letters and numbers) for all the related lenses. The new lens from Nikon is much lighter than the alternatives and thus is much easier to carry around. Summary Good points: Excellent image quality in the DX image-circle even wide open; very good performance well into the FX corners at longer focal lengths; excellent image stabilization; weather sealing; quiet, fast, and precise AF operation; maximum magnification of 1:3.Now Canon has their 14-35mm F4 L IS USM which beats the Nikon’s in every measurement, an excellent 100-400mm F5.
