Nikon AF-S 200mm f/2G ED VR II

This fast, f/2 telephoto lens renders shallow depth-of-field with beautiful background blur (bokeh), and is ideal for photographers seeking to freeze movement with fast shutter speeds in low lighting conditions. Additionally, Vibration Reduction II, Nano Crystal Coat and the inclusion of the A/M focusing mode are now employed helping to produce razor sharp images under the most demanding conditions.

Fast, Prime Telephoto Lens

Upgraded, fast, f/2 prime telephoto lens with Nikon VR II image stabilization and Nano Crystal Coat produces razor sharp images under the most demanding conditions including indoor sports, wildlife or portraiture.

Automatic Tripod Detection Mode

Engages VR image stabilization when mounted on a tripod to minimize camera shake that occurs at shutter release.

Super ED Glass Element

Super ED glass excels at eliminating secondary spectrum and correcting chromatic aberration and offers low refractive index and lower dispersion. Also Super ED Glass is more resilient to rapid temperature changes.

Three Focus Modes

A/M mode joins the familiar M/A and M modes, enhancing AF control versatility with fast, secure switching between auto and manual focus to accommodate personal shooting techniques.

Exclusive Nikon Silent Wave Motor (SWM)

Enables fast, accurate and quiet auto-focus.

Rugged Construction

Featuring enhanced dust and moisture-resistance, magnesium die-cast barrel construction and a protective meniscus front lens.

Fully compatible with Nikon Tele-converters

Full functionality with Nikon TC-14E II, TC-17E II, TC-20E II and TC-20EIII Tele-converters

Nikon VR II (Vibration Reduction) Image Stabilization

Vibration Reduction, engineered specifically for each VR NIKKOR lens, enables hand-held shooting at up to 4 shutter speeds slower than would otherwise be possible, assuring dramatically sharper still images and video capture.

Nano Crystal Coat

Further reduces ghosting and internal lens flare across a wide range of wavelengths for even greater image clarity.

3 Extra-low Dispersion (ED) Elements

Offers superior sharpness and color correction by effectively minimizing chromatic aberration, even at the widest aperture settings.

Internal Focus (IF)

Provides fast and quiet auto-focus without changing the length of the lens, retaining working distance throughout the focus range.

Nikon Super Integrated Coating (SIC)

Enhances light transmission efficiency and offers superior color consistency and reduced flare.

Rounded 9-Blade Diaphragm

Renders more natural appearance of out-of-focus image areas.
