Great value, no compromises vs f2.8 model

on April 19, 2013

Posted by: MikeM317

from Indy

Verified Purchase:Yes

Great lens, focus and sharpness are just as good as it's big brother the f2.8 version. Much lighter and a pretty good value. As you should already know the tripod foot isn't included and the Nikon one is way overpriced. You can get a third party one for a much better value. Unless you REALLY need shallow depth of field or f2.8 speed, this lens is great. I'd say the f2.8 is better for portraits but it's amazing focus breathing (focal length shrinks the closer you focus) half kills that anyways.

I use this mostly outside for fast moving race vehicles and it's performance is every bit as good as the 70-200 f2.8 VR 1 I had before, but sharper across the frame, and no nasty vignetting on full frame sensor cameras. If I was sticking with a DX cam I'd have kept the VR1 but for FX unless you really need and have the cash for the VR2 just get this.

My Best Buy number: 2509161930

What's great about it: Sharpness, light weight

What's not so great: Tripod collar costs extra, not f2.8

I would recommend this to a friend!
