Compact telephoto for FX and DX shooters
The Nikon AF-S NIKKOR 70-200mm f/4G ED VR is a lightweight zoom lens built for photographers who need reach without bulk. Weighing 29.3 oz and measuring 7.0 in. long, it covers a 70-200 mm focal range with a constant f/4 aperture. It suits both FX- and DX-format cameras for stills and HD video.
Steady handheld performance at long reach
Third-generation Vibration Reduction provides up to 5 stops of stabilization, keeping images sharp during sustained handheld shooting at 200 mm. The ring-type ultrasonic motor drives fast, quiet autofocus so tracking remains consistent through extended sessions. Minimum focus distance of 3.28 ft. allows close-up work without changing optics.
Durable construction with professional coatings
The optical design uses 20 elements in 14 groups, including three ED elements, one HRI element and Nano-Crystal coatings to control flare and chromatic aberration. A black barrel resists wear during daily transport and tripod mounting. The fixed aperture and internal focus maintain balance when the lens is extended.

Questions about this item
How much heat or power does the 70-200mm f/4G ED VR generate during all-day shooting?
The lens has no electronics that produce heat or draw power on its own; any drain comes from the camera body powering the ring-type ultrasonic focus motor and vibration reduction.
What must I already own for this lens to function?
A Nikon F-mount camera body — FX or DX format — is required; the lens mounts directly and communicates via the camera's electronic contacts.
How does the 70-200mm f/4G ED VR perform on an older F-mount body I might keep?
It mounts and autofocuses on any F-mount camera that supports AF-S lenses; the 20 elements in 14 groups with ED and Nano-Crystal coatings deliver the same optical quality regardless of body age.
