Nikon 70-200mm f/2.8G VR II AF-S ED-IF Zoom-Nikkor Lens

Fast aperture, f/2.8 zoom features VR II Image Stabilization, ED glass and Nano Crystal Coat.

The AF-S NIKKOR 70-200mm f/2.8G ED VR II lens features the last word in Vibration Reduction (VRII) stabilization technology to provide users with the ability to shoot at shutter speeds up to four stops slower than would otherwise be possible. Two modes are available; Normal for everyday shooting and Active to minimize the vibrations caused when shooting from motorcycles or aircraft. Both modes offer a stable viewfinder image, which ultimately makes focus point acquisition and framing far more comfortable and precise.

This lens is designed to deliver the best image quality in its class with excellent edge to corner quality on today's FX format cameras. Nikon's exclusive anti-reflection Nano Crystal Coat, and no less than seven ED glass elements, minimize internal reflections and aberrations to deliver rich, high contrast images even under the most challenging lighting conditions.

This lens also features three focus modes; A/M; M/A and M. The A/M switch enables autofocus priority even if the focus ring is being handled during shooting. The innovative optical design also enables shorter dimensions than the previous version, without compromising the durability that professional photographers rely upon to get the job done. The tough magnesium body is extensively sealed to withstand the affects of dust and moisture to enable you to keep shooting whatever the conditions.
