Nikon releases AF-S 70-200mm F/2.8G ED VR II.
a completely redesigned version of its workhorse professional tele-zoom. It features an entirely new optical formula which is designed to deliver sharp images all the way into the corners of the frame even on FX format cameras, using no fewer than 7 ED elements to minimize aberrations and Nano Crystal coat to combat flare. `VR II` Vibration Reduction technology offers a claimed four stops benefit, and a new A/M focus mode provides auto-focus priority when the manual focus ring is handled during shooting; however the lens loses the AF stop buttons of the original. It`s also shorter but heavier than its predecessor and incorporates extensive sealing against dust and moisture.
Features:
Vibration reduction (VR II) equivalent to increases in shutter speed by four steps
A new optical design utilizing seven ED glass elements
Ghost and flare suppression with Nano Crystal Coat
A Silent Wave Motor (SWM) for superior auto-focus that is smooth and quiet
Three focus modes built in: M, M/A, A/M
Aperture diaphragm utilizing an odd number of rounded blades (nine) for natural blur characteristics
Shooting at distances as close as 1.4 m throughout the entire zoom range
High-quality exterior design
