I had no doubts about this lens but to actually use it drives home what best means. From build quality to optical quality this is a must have lens. I'm using it on a DX D7100 where the effective focal length is 105-300 and the crop factor uses the best part of the lens. The image quality is superior. Even wide open the images are tack sharp, and minimal fall off at full zoom. There's no vignietting that I can see throughout the zoom range. One advantage on DX is that at 70mm the image is just about 1:1. The images are contrasts too which I find through the nikon lineup. I don't just recommended this lens, I insist upon having one if you are serious about shooting. It's the perfect portrait lens and versatile enough to use for sports and wildlife. Focus is vary fast though it does hesitate in low contrast situations. Let me put it this way: there is nothing out the to compare it with. This is a 77mm filter ring so it's common throughout the pro line of Nikkor pro lenses if you use filters. The lens is heavy, metal body, lots of glass, so a monopod or tripod is suggested but no required. The lens and camera combo is very well balanced on the lenses tripod foot which also acts likes great carrying handle. Price wise it seems expensive but when you realize what it is your holding in your hands, it almost seems cheap, almost. The VR works! Handheld shots at full zoom and slow shutter speeds would be impossible without it. Finally, Gold ring N lenses generally have great resale value so this lens, if cared for, will make most of your money back even many years from now. Enjoy!
I would recommend this to a friend!

Compatable with a D200
Is the Nikon AF-S Nikkor 70-200mm f/2.8G ED VR II Telephoto Zoom Lens compatable with the D200 camera ? Especially, will the VR work with it ?
Thank you!
Thank you!
If the camera is Nikon F mount it will attach. VR is in the lens not the camera so it should work fine. Might be time to upgrade the cam too. :)
