Great zoom lens for full frame/Fx and cropped/Dx Nikon camera bodies : Nikon 70-200mm f/2.8G ED VR II AF-S Nikkor Zoom Lens For Nikon Digital SLR Cameras
The customary 70-200 Af-S Vri is a legendary optic that continues to be among Nikon's most popular expert zooms. We had all hoped, at least in expert circles, that the new version would eclipse the old in every respect. Sadly, this is not the case. The new lens is optically superior over the same focal lengths, but this new lens exhibits the strongest focal breathing succeed ever seen in a pro lens of this type. No other 70-200 or 80-200 will be stunted in reach as this new one is. It's quite unique in that respect and this issue will be a deal breaker for some event, wedding and portrait shooters. It is not a small issue and it cannot be corrected. Stranger still is the voices of any prominent online reviewers who seem bent on masking or underplaying this importance of a 70-200mm zoom that falls 72mm short at close focus. It's hard for many of us to believe that they are not protecting a association with Nikon. Typically, when shooting a wedding, we found that the new lens was too short and images required cropping. At a children's party the same issue presented itself. At 10 feet away it was not inherent to frame a face as the customary lens could do. And yet this lens is categorically state of the art in every other respect. Likely, this will be one of Nikon's most debated lenses, though those who shoot over typically longer distances will find this lens ideal. Still, Nikon has a clear error on their website. They claim that the 70-200 maintains it's full zoom range at minimum focus. And it most categorically does not. Any honest shooter should not deliberate upon this issue. It Will succeed some expert applications.
So let's have a look at this beauty!
Handling:
The new lens is categorically quite close to the size and weight of the original. I've put it on a D700, D3 and D90. I find it balances well on the D700 with grip as with the D3. On the D90 it's poorly balanced. Just for kicks I also put on my baby D40, which had approximately absurd handling, but one could get used to it. The loss of the focus lock button was not missed by me. This is a heavy lens and it can tire a man out over the hours on a job.
Build Quality:
Well, I think we all knew what to expect and got it. I'm not sure that the 70-200 is built better than the old version, but it might be. It's 100% top notch.
Sonics:
The new lens focuses as quietly as my old lens, but the Vr noise is cut by half or more. In fact you have to strain to hear it. Nice microscopic improvement!
Sharpness:
Thus far I find sharpness exceeds all of my other lenses and that includes a new Tamron 180. Previously I found the Tamron 90 and 180 sharper than the Nikon 200, 24-70, 105 vr, 28-70 2.8 and so on. But the new zoom is so stunningly sharp wide open, that it's truly a marvel.
This shot, wide open at 2.8 and set for 200mm, proves what kind of execution is to be expected...
[...].
Color, difference and Bokeh Rendition
It's difficult to say if the new lens exceeds the customary for color, but the positive improvement in difference categorically helps. The nano coating is doing it's job and the results, even around strong stray light sources appear to be universally superb. Bokeh is also what we'd expect. At the same apparent focal lengths it's on par with the customary lens, but the micro-contrast makes images pop more and that may lead some to think bokeh is improved.
Zoom Range
This is probably going to succeed many population more than any other particular aspect of the design. This lens exhibits severe magnification loss which may significantly succeed your work, especially at distances below 15 feet. This has been discussed and outlined (at last), but to put it in a nutshell....at about 4.6 feet away you'll be at 128mm, which is a loss of 36%. While every other zoom of this range and caliber exhibit this effect, none have ever lost so much. This is unique to the 70-200 Ii and it will succeed wedding & event shooters, not to mention photojournalists. It's valuable sufficient that Nikon is seeing lenses returned. My source for that info is a Nikon rep and a saleperson at B&H photo. While some population are compelled to deliberate upon this issue, you plainly need to say "135mm at 10 feet away is Not the same as 190mm at 10 feet away." If you can say that and understand Basic photography, then you already know that even 10mm makes a huge difference for some types of shooting. Sadly, we're seeing at a Lot more than 10mm loss here.
Here is a series of shots taken at a party:
[...].
While the shots are passable, some also required heavy crops at distances where the customary 70-200 would have required microscopic to none. My usage of the lens on a job led me to a simple conclusion: The loss of magnification is a problem. But the lens is so good at close range at it's typical focal lengths that it's still worth keeping. Using with Dx or with a Tc are also viable options. I've seen one informal test showing that the 70-200 Ii with a Tc 1.4 is still sharper than the older version and that's with both set for F4. That's amazing!
Still, population who enjoyed using this lens for heavy portrait work may be unhappy. The lens was known for it's flexibility in that regard and it's clear that some of that is lost. A major online reviewer categorically dared to propose that 135mm at 6 feet was "good sufficient because that's a superior portrait focal length."
Can you dream anyone saying such a thing? With the customary version of this lens, 185mm was a pretty superior focal length too! It's overwhelming what depths population will plumb to protect their interests.
Focus
I don't know exactly how or why, but my focus hit score yesterday was nearly 100%, which is on par with my 24-70. I was all the time closer to 90% with the old 70-200. So I'm going to say, rather offhandedly, that this lens has better Af. If so....it's a Big deal!
Vr Ii
No huge surprise here. You can, with some good technique, hold this puppy down for sharp shots below 1/10. I could do that with the customary but worked a Lot harder to make it work.
Value:
Well, you can kick yourself in the head every day and say it's fun, but a lot of population will call you crazy. The new version costs 2400.00 Us and that's nearly 800 more than I paid for the Vr I. But most population think the old one's price was insane, so why worry. High end lenses cost a lot of money. I paid 3K for my speakers and a lot of population would call that nutty as well. Tomorrow I'll do a job using the new lens that will categorically pay for it, so for a expert it's much less of a question. Do we get 500 dollars worth of improvements? Heck no, not with the loss of Fl! Is the new lens worth having? Heck yes, especially with the better Iq and Vr! If I was a hobbyist shooter I'd probably stick with my old version and be happy.
Summary:
The 70-200 Vr Ii is a bit perplexing. It's Iq is categorically beyond most expectations. My copy shows sharpness that exceeds a stopped down 85 1.8 and my macro primes as well. But a good deal of population will be troubled by the loss of apparent Fl at closer range. One fellow on someone else forum has already explained clearly why this hurts wedding work or even shooting man standing at a podium from 12 feet away. If you typically used the former version at closer distances, you'll whether adapt or be unhappy. Adding a Tc helps, but now we have a 2800 dollar lens! So if man wanted a pro zoom for event work and they wanted to do a Lot of ultra tight portrait shots, this would probably not be a top choice anymore. In the end the extreme value of this lens is somewhat diminished by the positive advantages at Mfd of the original. Yet we do get stellar state of the art Iq that's hard to pass up, even at 128mm Mfd. My choice is simple. I've decided to keep mine and use a Tc 1.4 or 1.7 and also learn to use it on Dx more often if the situation demands it. It's not as sleek a solution as I hoped, but the resulting images should be better overall. I rate the lens at 4 stars. For it to hit 5 stars it would have come close or matched the Mfd potential of the original. You plainly can't ignore how good the customary was in that respect and I'm disturbed by seemingly entertaining shooters out there who are content to present misinformation on this point. One of the most sublime online reviewers categorically said that the new 70-200 Vr Ii exceeds the execution of the customary in every way. Of procedure that's patently impossible when the new version can't even come close to the near focus focal range of the original. anyone fuels this "Protect Nikon" position, it does only harm to the photographic community.
I'm hoping that mainstream reviewers present honest detailed reviews that pull no punches with a lens that is unique against every other 70-200 and 80-200 on the shop when it comes to losing magnification at less than infinity. A reviewer should respect the full scope of applications for a pro lens, report on a products strengths and weaknesses and leave his own agenda at the door.
So: The new 70-200 Vr Ii is going to be a overwhelming upgrade for some shooters and a serious letdown for others. For me it falls somewhere in the middle. Based on your personel style and job requirements, You must make your own extreme judgment.
It's a crying shame that Nikon failed to pronounce the reach factor at close focus as in the customary 70-200. If they had, then this would be among the many lenses ever designed. Failing that I rate as basically equal farranging to the customary version. Which is categorically better for some types of shooting.
