Product Description
A dream lens.
For years, Nikon's 70-200 f/2.8 lens has been the benchmark for fast telephoto
zoom lenses, unrivaled for low-light, sports, wildlife, concerts, weddings,
portraits and everyday shooting. This new version takes that legendary
performance to the next level with the same jaw-dropping image quality that has
made it a prized lens of pros and serious hobbyists alike. Whether you're
shooting a DX DSLR like the D500 or an FX powerhouse like the D5, the AF-S
NIKKOR 70-200mm f/2.8E FL ED VR will take you to thrilling new heights.
Images that astound - Cutting-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 handling - Innovative 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.

70mm to 200mm"for sharp, bright images with smooth, creamy background blur.

Built for the field - Even 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 shooter - Up 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 focus - Blazing 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.
