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;...

Durable; Easily Interchangeable; Lightweight; Rugged; Sharp Focus

Lets cut to the chase...an ABSOLUTE MUST BUY! It's a really sharp lens, comparable in sharpness to my 24-70 f2.8 Nikkor lens. The new VR and lightweight ergonomics put it over the top! Focus & sharpness are razor sharp. The Crutchfield experience and packaging are second to none. Order away foks!

VERY Sharp, quick focus, and lightweight; Low cost and GREAT value; GLORIOUS GLASS!

Tripod collar is $$ (if needed

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.

I've used this lens for 2 shooting sessions so far, and it's incredibly sharp!! Seems sharper than my 85/1.8D. And the maximum aperture f/4 is already tack sharp.The weight feels good with my D600. Well balanced, and definitely not too heavy at all.

Consistent Output; Durable; Easily Interchangeable; Fast / accurate auto-focus; Lightweight; Nice Bokeh; Strong Construction

Not Bayonet Lens Hood; Poor in Low Light

wonderful

Pros: Superb image quality, Lightweight Cons: Other thoughts: I originally owned the 70-200 f/2.8, and carrying that beast around was absolutely no fun, unless you like carrying bricks. So I purchased this lens and sold the f2.8 and couldn't be happier.

"I opted for the 70-200 f4 versus f2.8 because I wanted a smaller, lighter weight lens. (I traded in an old Nikon 80-400 which aggravated me because it wasn't terribly sharp, was obtrusive, and got very heavy carrying it for any length of time.

This is a professional lens. It's spectacular for shooting weddings and works very well for portraits. At 200mm F2.8 the depth of field is very thin. It's long and heavy so get a good strap. Pairs extremely well with the D800.

Beastly autofocus; Great working range for people & portraits; Quite sharp; Great contrast; Great build quality; Vibration Reduction is amazing

Very long and heavy; 200mm is more like 125mm at close focus distance

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.
