You cannot go wrong with this lens. Unless you really need 2.8 version for portraits, this f4 version is way to go. It is light, has fast AF and gives great results. This is the only lens i use for studio product photography (large furniture pieces). This lens never misses.

Introducing the newest addition to Nikon's compact high-performance f/4 fixed aperture zoom lenses, the AF-S NIKKOR 70-200mm f/4G ED VR. Inspired by today's versatile HD-SLR shooters, it strikes an ideal balance between exceptional optics, advanced lens technologies-including our game-changing third...

I bought this lens for my D850 because i wanted a 70-200mm lens for a long time. After months of research i decided to buy it, no regrets what so ever. I live in Brazil and reliability is an important thing for me since most of the brands doesnt have any assistance here.

Nikon make a multitude of lenses for all eventualities. I wanted a medium range zoom for general use and this not only fit my requirements, but also my budget. I surfed many photographic websites, but John Lewis was ￡190 cheaper than a well known specialist outlet in Norwich.

I bought this to use with my D750. Previously I had always thought, if I could afford it, I would splash out on the f2.8 but a few things caused me to buy the f4; first off I mostly take landscape photos often on a tripod so in practice I might have limited opportunity to benefit from the f2.8;...

Nikon's cheapest 70-200mm lens, the Nikon AF-S 70-200mm f/4G ED VR comes with a Vibration Reduction (VR) system and a maximum aperture of f/4. Unlike Canon, Nikon doesn't make cheaper non-stabilised versions of its lenses, so Nikon users on a budget will have to look at third-party brands.

This lens is a great performer.

Perfect with D810. I found this range awkward on DX (D7100), but on FX it's perfect for covering short to mid-tele (4X). It's nicely ergonomic, balances well, sharp from f4 and not too heavy with excellent VR. It also focuses closely and quickly. It takes TC's well too.

Most pros looking for a first-rate telephoto zoom go for the Nikon AF-S 70-200mm f/2.8G ED VR II. It's a terrific lens, but it's also very big, heavy and costly. Until now, the only alternative was the Nikon AF-S 70-300mm f/4.5-5.6G VR, but that's a much cheaper, more consumer-orientated lens.
