The Nikon AF-S NIKKOR 70-200mm f/2.8E FL ED VR Lens is a high-performance telephoto zoom lens designed to meet the demands of professional photographers and enthusiasts alike. Spanning a versatile focal length range from 70 to 200mm, this lens is ideal for capturing sharp, detailed images in various shooting scenarios, including portraits, sports, and wildlife photography. It features a constant f/2.8 maximum aperture throughout the zoom range, ensuring consistent exposure and excellent performance in low-light conditions.
This lens is equipped with advanced optical technology, including six extra-low dispersion (ED) elements, one fluorite element, and one high refractive index element, which work together to minimize chromatic aberrations and color fringing. Additionally, Nano Crystal and Super Integrated Coatings enhance image quality by reducing flare and ghosting, while fluorine coatings on the front and rear elements offer protection against dust, moisture, and smudging.
The AF-S NIKKOR 70-200mm f/2.8E FL ED VR Lens also incorporates Vibration Reduction (VR) image stabilization, which compensates for camera shake to deliver sharp handheld shots. The Silent Wave Motor (SWM) ensures quick, quiet, and precise autofocus, and the lens features a weather-sealed magnesium-alloy construction for durability in challenging environments. The lens includes four focus buttons for convenient AF Lock and manual focus override, and a removable, rotating tripod collar for smooth switching between vertical and horizontal shooting orientations.
