Jeg gikk for en tid tilbake fra Sigmas nyeste 70-200 mm f/2,8 OS og over til Nikon. Det hersker ingen tvil om at denne er mye bedre på stort sett alt. Fokus er lynrask og presis. Skarphet og kontrast er helt suveren. VRll er outstanding!
Det koster jo selvfølgelig både skjorta og buksa, og man kan jo alltid spørre om det er verdt kr 17.300,- som det koster i skrivende stund..?
Bruker du Nikon og skal ha den beste 70-200 mm, så er det denne som gjelder.
Utolig skarpt objektiv, også ved full åpning. En smule mykere ved 2.8, men viser men ingen CA som på forgjengeren og alle 80-200 2.8. Veldig kontraststerk i motlys. Velfungerende og effektiv VR som gir 3-4 trinn. Stativfot kan tas av, så er det bare ringen. Veldig bra. Solid motlysblender som er lett å montere i begge retninger. Rask AF som sitter.
En bør vite at lengste brennvidde blir "kortere" ved korte avstander. Ved nærgrensen tilsvarer dette ca. 135mm. Dette er ikke noe minus, men har med konstruksjonen å gjøre. Fordelen med IF er at objektivet har intet front- eller bakelement som beveger seg og er med dette bra beskyttet mot støv som evtl. kan trenge inn.
VR trenger en smule mer tid enn på andre objektiver fra Nikon til den virkelig fryser bildet, men er samtidig utrolig effektiv.
Et av Nikons beste objektiver for fullformat og en klar forbedring til forgjengeren og alle tidlige 80-200 2.8. Et objektiv som har ingen svakheter og med en ytelse på lik linje med fastlinser. En arbeidshest som gjør alt.

I hate this lens because it is so good than now I want to buy one. I borrowed one to test, and it turned out so subtly excellent that it surprised me.
I was fully hoping that this was the same as the previous 70-200mm VR, except missing the AF lock buttons and $500 more expensive, but no.
This new 70-200mm f/2.8 VR II does everything a little better than every other previous 80-200mm f/2.8 and 70-200mm f/2.8 zoom. Drat. I can't find any area in which it isn't Nikon's best yet. The only potential gotcha is that at close distances, the effective focal length range contracts, effectively becoming a 65-135mm lens at 5 feet (1.5m).
Nikon should know: they invented the world's first 80-200mm f/2.8 in 1982, and every five years, Nikon cranks out a better one. Every one of these lenses has been, and today still is, superb. The few of us who get the luxury to test each of these sadly have to admit that this is the sharpest, least distorting, fastest and most accurate focusing fast tele zoom ever from Nikon.
This new 70-200mm f/2.8 VR II is now the seventh iteration of this series. I chronicle and compare all seven versions at Nikon 80-200mm f/2.8 History.
What's new is that the close-focus distance is now rated as 4.6 feet (1.4 meters) instead of the 5 feet (1.5 meters) of every other Nikon f/2.8 tele zoom since 1988.
Every pro I know wants this new lens because 5 feet is never close enough. Paying $500 more is a bargain to get an extra half-foot close-focus range for the lens that most pros shoot 80% of the time, all day, every day. All of us are always banging the close focus stop of our tele zooms, and this new lens gives us an extra half foot.
In fact, I measured it, and the sample I borrowed focuses to just 4 feet, two inches (50" or 127cm), much better then specified. The only other Nikon tele zoom that focuses more closely is the pro's secret, the 1986 70-210mm f/4 AF, but since it's a secret and sells used for only about $150 used, I won't tell you about it. The 70-210mm f/4-5.6 focuses more closely, too.
Focus is superb. At f/2.8 on my D3, every single shot is dead-on, unlike some other lenses that can show focus offsets.
This new 70-200mm VR II has only half the distortion of the lenses that came before it.
Vibration reduction is so good it lets me get perfect tripod-equivalent sharpness most of the time hand-held at 1/8 of a second at all focal lengths!

Ikke funnet noen enda,
Har brukt og prøvd div andre 70-200 og 80-200, også pirat linser. De kommer ikke i nærheten, når det gjelder.
Den har fallt noe i pris siden den ble introdusert, her får du det du betaler, kvalitet koster
Helt perfekt til portretter o.l.
Har ikke fått testet den opp mot 70-200 VR1, men har testet den opp mot Sigma sin eldre versjon av 70-200 2.8, og må si at denne gir MYE bedre kvalitet på bildene.
Strålende linse.
Den kosta jo endel, men den innfrir abolutt kravene jeg stilte på forhånd
