The big Kahuna The 200 vr 2.0 is a legendary lens. It is just sooo sharp throughout the range. I love shooting it wide open or near wide open as it has the "look" which screams "200 vr 2.0 did this." Used in combination with my D3, it is a joy to shoot, albeit somewhat heavy. And when you show up with it, you get instant "cred" so it is going to get you noticed. Although it is not for every situation, this is my favorite lens, gives outstanding results. July 30, 2010
Rent this once, you will be buying it! It is funny...photography even after 35 years is still a passionate thing. You find yourself, mid-workflow, pausing to admire a shot that just got everything right...this is a feeling I have known since my first print appeared in the tray as a kid. It is why we do what we do, it is the sweet treat amid the noise of all the thousands of shots that were good, salable, but imminently forgettable. What I am telling you is this lens delivers a lot more of those moments to you. This thing just kills, period. Sharpness, contrast and saturation like 3D, bokeh of all lenses should be defined by this one...fast and quiet AF, has a memory recall setting, superb VR, internal filters, and a really great case. I shoot live theatre for Playbill and programs, promotionals, lobby posters, etc. It can focus accurately on moving subjects in nearly total darkness on my D3s, I am not kidding....what a joy! Anyway when this lens was announced I had rented this a few times, experienced more workflow pauses admiring the results, and found myself jonesing for these results on other shoots. Wide open, shooting a face full frame, the difference between the liquid crystal clear eyes and the bokeh melted and so even and smooth near the nape of the neck, hair and shoulders is wonderful... definitely a money shot. It is big and thick and heavy, and not something you can handhold for long, and I am a big guy with large hands. All of 10 lbs+ with the body, so at least a monopod is needed, I added a big RRS plate to the tripod foot for greater stability, and usually enjoy this lens best on a gimbaled head with a sturdy tripod, so I can enjoy its optics almost weightlessly. I honestly have gotten more client comments on the drama and impact of the images this amazing lens delivers than in any other single piece of gear I have owned in 35 years. It is not cheap, and Nikon does not make many of them, so they are tough to get... just rent one to see what I mean, and you will find yourself lining up to buy one before you know it. July 30, 2010
Superb My "go to" lens for any type of action photography. Fast and once I fine-tuned my focus on my D700, it's sharp as can be! July 30, 2010
One of the faster and sharpness lens i ever had. Good for sport out/indor and some shy portrate,good on low light and superb results with film July 27, 2010
Fast, sharp, bokah! This lens will not disappoint. Definitely the most powerful tool in my bag for sports and portraits. The additional benefit is the muscles you develop by carrying it around. July 30, 2010
