Great alternative to the 2.8

Verified Purchase:Yes

I've been lusting after the 70-200 f/2.8 for a while, but it's just too expensive! When Nikon announced the f/4 version, I initially didn't even bother looking into it. I already had the 70-300 f/4.5-5.6, but I was getting disappointing results, even with plenty of light. After reading a bunch of reviews, I decided to pull the trigger on the 70-200 f/4. I was also considering some of the 3rd party 2.8 lenses at about the same price point, but I guess I still want that legendary Nikkor quality. All I can say is Wow! This lens is easily on my camera 75% of the time now. It's lighter, shorter and skinnier than the 2.8, which makes it easy to carry for extended periods. VR performance is excellent, although I'm probably not using it to its full potential since I'm keeping shutter speed a bit higher to freeze subject movement. I love that you can focus as close as ~3 feet at all focal lengths. Sharpness on this lens is fantastic. I certainly hope to have this lens in my bag for many years to come. No regrets.

What's great about it: Same great focal range, lighter and less expensive than 2.8

What's not so great: stupid Nikon- include the tripod foot already

I would recommend this to a friend!
