Telephoto zoom for Nikon SLR cameras
The Nikon AF-S VR Zoom-NIKKOR 70-200mm f/2.8G IF-ED is a telephoto zoom lens built for Nikon SLR bodies. It covers a 70-200mm focal range with a constant f/2.8 maximum aperture. The lens suits professionals and enthusiasts shooting candid, portrait or sports subjects.
Mounts directly on compatible Nikon SLR bodies
The lens mounts directly on Nikon SLR models that include a built-in aperture control Command Dial. On many models without that dial it still operates in Shutter Priority and Program modes. No extra adapters are required for the supported cameras.
Vibration Reduction limited to supported bodies
The Vibration Reduction system provides up to 3 stops of shake correction when the camera body supports it. VR does not function on bodies lacking the necessary communication contacts. The constant f/2.8 aperture is maintained throughout the zoom range only on compatible cameras.

Questions about this item
How can I confirm the Vibration Reduction is active after mounting the Nikon AF-S VR Zoom-NIKKOR 70-200mm f/2.8G IF-ED?
The viewfinder image remains stable during VR operation and the system automatically detects panning, so a steady frame while handheld at 200mm indicates it is working.
What comes with the Nikon AF-S VR Zoom-NIKKOR 70-200mm f/2.8G IF-ED and what must I purchase separately?
The lens includes front and rear caps; filters, hood, tripod collar and camera body are sold separately.
Which focal-length version of the Nikon AF-S VR Zoom-NIKKOR 70-200mm f/2.8G IF-ED should I choose for sports and portraits?
The 70-200mm f/2.8 zoom covers both portraits at the short end and sports action at the long end in a single lens.
