Images that astoundCutting-edge optics for maximum definition. The AF-S NIKKOR 70-200mm f/2.8E FL ED VR produces images that have a life of their own. Six ED glass elements, Fluorite (FL) and High Refractive (HRI) lens elements and Nano Crystal Coat (N) all but eliminate distortion and glare and maximize contrast and sharpness, even in difficult backlit situations. The constant f/2.8 maximum aperture produces beautiful, creamy background blur, and the masterful design and construction ensures this lens will be a legend. |
Enhanced handlingInnovative controls and design for working pros. The AF-S NIKKOR 70-200mm f/2.8E FL ED VR has four focus function buttons right on the lens barrel, perfect for engaging autofocus or AF Lock*. The zoom and focus rings have reversed positions for more comfortable, stable zooming. Its magnesium alloy barrel, High Refractive Index (HRI) lens element and lightweight Fluorite (Fl) element located near the front of the optical group keep the lens evenly balanced. The tripod collar ring spins on ball bearings for smooth transitions between horizontal and vertical shooting. |
Brilliant in low lightConstant f/2.8 maximum aperture. Shoot with the aperture wide open at f/2.8 across the entire zoom range—from 70mm to 200mm—for sharp, bright images with smooth, creamy background blur. Close focus has been improved from 4.6 feet (1.4m) to approx. 3.6 feet (1.1m), allowing for stunning close-up portraits. Combined with a high-ISO Nikon DSLR,the AF-S NIKKOR 70-200mm f/2.8E FL ED VR opens new possibilities for capturing indoor sports, wildlife at dusk and dawn, wedding receptions and so much more. |

Built for the fieldEven more weather-sealed and rugged design. You don't get a second chance to capture the decisive moment, and weather conditions rarely cooperate. The AF-S NIKKOR 70-200mm f/2.8E FL ED VR is designed for exactly these moments. An all new weather-sealing design ensures you can keep shooting through nearly any condition. Every movable part of the lens barrel—nine parts in all—are extensively sealed for dust and water drop resistance. Additionally, the front lens element is coated with Nikon's non-stick Fluorine coat, resisting dirt, fingerprints and smudges. |
Sharp shooterUp to ~4.0 stops of image stabilization. Camera movement during exposure robs sharpness. It's that simple. Nikon's VR image stabilization has ben enhanced from 3.5 stops to up to ~4.0 stops**, a must-have feature when working handheld, on a monopod or even a tripod. A specialized Sports Mode is optimized for camera pans and fast-action sports, and the Tripod Mode eliminates the subtle ground vibrations that are constantly passing through a tripod or monopod. Capture subjects with outstanding sharpness, even in low light. |
Flawless focusBlazing fast, consistent acquisition. During high-speed continuous shooting with a fast DSLR like D5 or D500, the lens' electromagnetic diaphragm syncs with the camera shutter for remarkably consistent exposure, even with a teleconverter. AF tracking is improved, too, especially for notoriously difficult subjects: those with unpredictable or very slow movement, those moving at random speeds and those approaching the camera at high speed. Nikon's Silent Wave Motor (SWM) powers ultra-fast, near-silent internal focusing (IF) with no breathing effect across the entire zoom range. |

There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
So numerous were these improvements, I decided to make a list. I came up with 20 items! (1) closer focus, (2) minimal focus breathing, (3) better contrast, (4) less flare, (5) less weight, (6) better front to rear weight balance, (7) much shorter in the middle of the zoom range of 135mm, (8) sharper in the corners at all focal lengths, (9) Improved rock steady VR, (10) “sport” mode option on VR, (11) faster VR response times, (12) faster focusing, (13) four new memory buttons, (14) better bokeh, (15) better lens hood that allows for standing the lens on end, (16) electronic aperture, (17) metal filter threads, (18) better dust seals, (19) fluorite coatings on front and rear, (20) better with the TC-14EII, TC-17E11, and the TC-20EIII??????? Most all these claims have been verified in various reviews except for the tele-converter claim. And that is an important requirement for me. I do nature photography with an emphasis on birds.
I own all three of Nikon’s tele-converters. These work extremely well on my Nikon 400mmf2.8 as one would expect. They also work well on my Nikon 300mmf4PF and decently on my Nikon 70-200F4. They were a mixed bag on the Nikon 70-200f2.8 VRII previously owned.
When the new 70-200 lens arrived last week, I quickly set up some tests to see if, indeed, the newest version would not have the problems the older model did. I am very happy to report that all three tele-converters work very well with this newest offering.
On my D500, this lens equaled or outperformed the following lenses at all possible focal combinations from 70 to 400mm. My tests were of distant steep wooded hills, and involved the following combinations:
Nikon 300mmPF with and without all three tele-converters (this lens was slightly sharper when no tele-converter was attached)
Nikon 80-400 f4.5,5.6 - A close second at longer focal lengths, equal at shorter focal lengths.
Sigma 150-600 Contemporary - Same story as the Nikon 80-400
Nikon 70-400f4 with and without tele-converters - just ever so slightly less sharp over longer focal lengths.
The newest 70-200f2.8E with and without tele-converters - equal or better than any of the above combinations with the exception of the 300mmf4 PF when no tele-converter was attached.
What is really amazing is how all close all the above were in overall image quality. However, they do represent some of the best glass out there.
Last but in no way the least:
Nikon 400mmf2.8 - Don’t even think any of the above equaled the quality of this lens. (though they got amazingly close!)
Not only do the tele-converters work well at the maximum telephoto range for 200mm but quite decent results occur throughout the 70-200mm range. Of course, one does not want to normally use tele-converters other than at the maximum zoom but it can be forced upon one, if there is no time to remove the tele-converter.
In summary, this is a costly lens, but it does represent the state of the art, and is one of Nikon's best attempts to give us the ultimate in quality. This lens is like owning a Ferrari. Beautiful to look at but meant to be driven by someone who understands what it really can do, and has driven lots of other sport cars in the past.
Felicia in the concierge department went all out to help me resolve the issue. I wish all Amazon employee were as helpful as she was.
UPDATE:
The reviews of this lens claim that angels will sing when you mount this lens on your Nikon; that fairy dust will sprinkle; that the photographer with enter a state of nirvanic optical bliss upon gazing at the pictures this lens produces. Yeah right! --- But guess what? Its all true! Just looked at some pictures and I am floating a foot off the ground. The lens is beyond phenomenal. I can't help thinking that this lens can produce major works of art without even taking the lens cap off. I have a friend who is an accomplished painter. We pointed the camera at random and snapped the shutter a few times. We agreed that the pictures were beautiful.
Ah, but the price, especially if you are not rich or a big time pro, neither of which I am. How can I justify 3K for a lens? The answer lies in a poem by Edna St. Vincent Millay.
“My candle burns at both ends;
It will not last the night;
But ah, my foes, and oh, my friends—
It gives a lovely light!”
I personally enjoy using the lens for fashion photography and nature photography. It is big but well balanced. Only one complaint, the focus ring, and the zoom ring our flipped. Not sure why Nikon did this, but it can be confusing. after switching lenses. I saved for a year to get this beauty and it is a MUST BUY for your collection.

He probado el Sigma OS (veloz), el Tamron G2 (estabilizador) y la versión FL ED (ésta) y sin duda el Nikon está a otro nivel. Ciertamente es muy bueno, calidad superior, muy rápido y también muy caro, aunque justo ahora que lo compramos estuvo a 37k, más barato incluso que en USA, además ya enviado y con impuestos válidos para México (CFDi).
Aún teniendo una Nikon Z6 preferí la versión FL ED porque también lo usaré con una D500 la cual me encanta y creo que aún le quedan algunos años a las buenas cámaras DSLR, ciertamente las sin espejo irán mejorando y saldrán mejores lentes con una mayor apertura y que podrán aprovechar mejor la montura Z, pero mientras me parece que vale muy bien la pena este lente, sobre todo al precio que está.
Excelente todo.
