Nikon recently launched the AF-S NIKKOR 70-200mm f/2.8E FL ED VR –a next generation fast zoom lens compatible with Nikon FX-format digital SLR cameras that offers a consistently fast maximum aperture of f/2.8 throughout its entire zoom range. The lens structure provides weather-resistant performance with anti-dust and waterdrop resistant capabilities.

The AF-S NIKKOR 70-200mm f/2.8E FL ED VR supports even better resolution throughout the entire zoom range. The lens provides images that have a life of their own. Six ED glass elements, Fluorite (FL) and High Refractive Index (HRI) lens elements and Nano Crystal Coat (N) all but eliminate distortion and glare and maximize contrast and sharpness, even in difficult backlit situations. The constant f/2.8 maximum aperture produces beautiful, creamy background blur, and the masterful design and construction ensures this lens will be a legend.

In addition, it supports the fast f/2.8 maximum aperture throughout the entire 70-200mm zoom range that enables the shallow depth of field and large background blur necessary for photographic expression that emphasizes the primary subject.

The camera has four focus function buttons right on the lens barrel, perfect for engaging autofocus or AF lock. The zoom and focus rings have reversed positions for more comfortable, stable zooming.

The Vibration Reduction (VR) function ensures a stable viewfinder image that makes it easy to track even fast and erratically moving subjects. Further, it is equipped with SPORT mode, which maintains focus on rapidly moving subjects, even with high speed continuous shooting.
