Telephoto zoom for Nikon SLRs

This Nikon 70-200mm f/2.8G ED VR II AF-S Nikkor lens covers a versatile telephoto range suited to sports, wildlife and event photography on FX and DX format digital SLR cameras. The constant f/2.8 maximum aperture maintains consistent exposure throughout the zoom range and supports shallow depth of field. Vibration Reduction II helps stabilise handheld shots at slower shutter speeds.

Bayonet mount with internal focus

The lens attaches via the standard Nikon F bayonet and uses an internal focusing mechanism driven by a Silent Wave Motor, so the front element does not rotate or extend during autofocus. This keeps polarising filters and petal hoods effective while focusing. The minimum focus distance is 1.4 m (4.6 ft) across the zoom range, allowing reasonably close subject isolation for a telephoto zoom.

FX coverage with DX crop option

On FX bodies the lens delivers full-frame coverage; on DX bodies it provides a narrower field of view equivalent to a longer focal length. The 70-200mm range and f/2.8 aperture are fixed optical characteristics that cannot be extended. Photographers needing wider angles, longer reach or smaller maximum apertures will require different lenses.

Questions about this item

How do I verify the 70-200mm f/2.8G ED VR II is focusing and stabilising correctly after mounting it?

Attach the lens to a compatible Nikon DSLR, check that the focus ring and zoom ring move smoothly from 70 mm to 200 mm, confirm autofocus locks at the 1.4 m minimum focus distance, and test VR by half-pressing the shutter at 200 mm to see a steadier viewfinder image.

What comes in the white box and what must I purchase separately?

The box contains the G-type AF-S Zoom-NIKKOR lens with built-in CPU, Nikon bayonet mount, front and rear caps; you will need to buy filters, a lens hood, and a tripod collar separately if required.

Which version of the 70-200mm f/2.8 should I choose for FX and DX bodies?

This G-type AF-S Zoom-NIKKOR covers FX, DX and FX in DX crop mode, so a single version works on both full-frame and APS-C Nikon DSLRs without needing a different model.
