"Wow! I upgraded from the original 70-200 f2.8 VR to this lens having skipped the VR2 version. It took me a while to decide but after 10 years with my existing lens, I justified the purchase.

For years, Nikon's 70-200 f/2.8 lens has been the benchmark for fast telephoto zoom lenses, unrivaled for low-light, sports, wildlife, concerts, weddings, portraits and everyday shooting.

The AF-S Nikkor 70-200mm f/2.8E FL ED VR is Nikon's newest professional telephoto lens for full-frame DSLR users, offering better image quality, improved build, faster focusing, and a more versatile vibration reduction system.

Amazing VR performance at slower shutter speeds. Produces extremely usable images even shooting at 0.5 sec exposure. My old 80-200mm can't even produce much usable images at below 1/160th shutter speed.

If you're a photographer shooting weddings and events, you know the importance of having a 70-200mm in your kit: It's the lens that lets you capture key moments from a comfortable distance and snap portraits with blurred backgrounds. Photographers taking images as a hobby will find the lens to be versatile when working outdoors, capturing images of nature or urban environments. Nikon's recent update to its venerable 70-200mm f/2.8, the AF-S Nikkor 70-200mm f/2.8E FL ED VR ($2,799.95), is an excellent performer, one that's even sharper than the older AF-S Nikkor 70-200mm f/2.8G ED VR II ($2,424.00 at Amazon) . The improvement makes it an Editors' Choice. Design The 70-200mm f/2.8E ($1,896.95 at Amazon) is about the same size as similar lenses, at 8.0 by 3.5 inches (HD). It tips the scales at 3.2 pounds, supports 77mm front filters, and features an internal zoom design so that its physical length doesn't change along with its focal length. Front and rear caps, a reversible lens hood...

The Nikon AF-S Nikkor 70-200mm f/2.8E FL ED VR lens improves upon its predecessor, capturing sharper images and focusing closer.

Quite sharp; Maintains f/2.8 aperture through zoom range; Optical stabilization; Sturdy build; Rotating tripod collar

Some distortion; Dimmed corners at f/2.8
