Nikon AF-S 70-200mm f/4G ED VR review

A constant-aperture telephoto at a price amateur Nikon owners can afford

Size and weight compared to a pro lens ; Weather sealing ; Full-time focus override

Could be sharper in the middle of the zoom range

Image quality is very good overall but this Nikon isn't one of the sharpest lenses in the group, especially at mid-range zoom settings.

Nikon AF-S Nikkor 70-200mm f/4G ED VR

The Nikon AF-S Nikkor 70-200mm f/4G ED VR is the telezoom for Nikonians who can't handle the cost of the f/2.8 version of the lens.

Vibration reduction system. Fixed aperture through zoom range. Sharp images. Fairly light.

Tripod collar is an expensive add-on. Soft edges at 70mm.

Nikon 70-200mm f/4G ED VR AF-S Nikkor Review

There is a lot to like about the Nikon 70-200mm ƒ/4G ED VR AF-S, not the least of which is its small profile and light weight. Nikon users have long looked at Canon with longing for a smaller version of the 70-200mm ƒ/2.8 workhorse.
