Nikon 70-200mm f/2.8E FL ED AF-S NIKKOR VR Lens with Accessories Kit

Over the years, Nikon has set the bar high for telephoto zoom lenses, and the AF-S NIKKOR 70-200mm f/2.8E FL ED VR continues this legacy with its exceptional performance and advanced features. This professional-grade lens is a quintessential choice for photographers seeking high-quality, durable, and versatile equipment for their Nikon FX-format digital SLR cameras.Crafted for excellence, the lens boasts a constant maximum aperture of f/2.8 across its entire zoom range, allowing for remarkable low-light capabilities and beautiful bokeh effects. The f/2.8 aperture also facilitates a shallow depth of field, enabling photographers to isolate subjects from their backgrounds with precision and artistry.Weighing approximately 3.85 oz less than its predecessor, the AF-S NIKKOR 70-200mm f/2.8G ED VR II, this lens is designed for comfort and ease of use during extended shooting sessions. Its robust construction includes weather-resistant features, with anti-dust and waterdrop-resistant capabilities, ensuring reliability in various shooting conditions. The addition of Nikon's exclusive fluorine coating on the front surface offers high antifouling performance and resistance to smudges, making maintenance simpler and more effective.Optically, the lens surpasses its predecessors with even better resolution throughout the zoom range, maintaining sharpness right to the edges of the frame. The optical design includes one fluorite, one High Refractive Index (HRI) lens element, and six ED glass elements, which collectively minimize chromatic aberration and enhance image clarity. The Nano Crystal Coat further reduces ghosting and flare, ensuring that each shot captures the truest colors and contrasts.The Vibration Reduction (VR) technology in this lens is a game-changer, providing a stable viewfinder image and reducing camera shake for crisp images, even when tracking fast-moving subjects. The SPORT VR mode is particularly beneficial for action and sports photography, where maintaining focus on dynamic subjects is crucial. With the VR function, photographers can enjoy an effect equivalent to a shutter speed 4.0 stops faster, as per CIPA standards.Autofocus performance is swift and accurate, thanks to the electromagnetic diaphragm mechanism that ensures consistent exposure during high-speed continuous shooting. The improved minimum focus distance and increased maximum reproduction ratio offer versatility akin to macro photography, allowing for detailed close-up shots.Ergonomics have not been overlooked, with a refined grip for comfortable handling and four focus function buttons for easy operation. The tripod collar ring facilitates smooth transitions between horizontal and vertical orientations, catering to diverse photographic needs.In summary, the AF-S NIKKOR 70-200mm f/2.8E FL ED VR lens is a stellar combination of agility, robustness, and unparalleled optical performance. It is an indispensable tool for professionals and enthusiasts alike, excelling in a wide array of photographic genres, from press and sports to portraiture and wedding photography.
