Peerless Performance
The Nikon AF-S NIKKOR 70-200mm f/2.8E FL ED VR offers peerless versatility and optical performance. A longer than standard zoom range with a constant maximum aperture of f2.8 throughout ensures everything from sports and wildlife to portraiture, fashion, and everyday subjects can be captured with exceptional sharpness, contrast, and clarity, even in low light conditions. Improved optics render outstandingly high resolution, frame-wide detail at virtually any focal length while keeping aberrations, ghosting, and flare to a minimum. The result is incredibly sharp, clear images that are as vibrant as real life.
Closer to the Action
With a shorter minimum focus distance (1.1m vs 1.4m) and higher maximum reproduction (0.21x vs 0.11x) than its predecessor, the Nikon AF-S NIKKOR 70-200mm f/2.8E lens lets you get nearer to subjects AND capture distant subjects in stunning close-up detail. With this lens, every detail—from the texture of feathers on a bird’s outstretched wing to the beads of sweat on an athlete’s brow—can be brought vividly to life and emphasised against stunning bokeh.
Made for Movement
This Nikon 70-200mm lens features a groundbreaking Vibration Reduction (VR) system that takes effect with a half-press of your camera’s shutter button. In NORMAL mode, VR in this lens reduces camera shake by the equivalent of four stops for noticeably sharper, steadier handheld shots. Fast, unpredictably moving subjects are usually a challenge to capture, especially when you’re handholding and shooting in continuous bursts. The VR system’s SPORT mode makes this easier than ever, providing a stable viewfinder image with no adverse effect on frame rate or release time lag.
Superior Tracking and Exposure
Enhanced autofocus (AF) tracking performance in the Nikon AF-S NIKKOR 70-200mm f/2.8E FL ED VR lens ensures you’ll never miss that crucial moment, even during high-speed burst shooting. Not only that, but the lens also features an electromagnetic diaphragm mechanism that keeps auto-exposure precisely controlled, again even when shooting in high-speed bursts.
On-the-Go Reliability
The Nikon AF-S 70-200mm f/2.8E telephoto lens is as agile as it is robust. Constructed from highly durable magnesium alloy, the lens is lighter than the older Nikon AF-S NIKKOR 70-200mm f/2.8G ED VR II, reducing fatigue and boosting mobility in a wide range of shooting scenarios. Anti-dust and water-resistant properties offer protection and performance no matter the conditions. Meanwhile, a dust, water, oil, and dirt-repelling coating on the lens’s front element offers both better clarity and easier maintenance. Improved handling and four customizable focus function buttons make the Nikon AF-S NIKKOR 70-200mm f/2.8E FL ED VR lens almost like an extension of your body.
