Nikon 200mm F2G IF-ED AF-S VR Lens For Nikon
SLR Cameras
The AF-S 200mm VR is part of Nikon's high-end telephoto range, a collection of
lenses designed for professional use and optimized for most excellent optical
quality. Being the shortest of the family, the 200 F2G IF-ED AF-S VR is also the
least expensive, but nonetheless it's still far from being low-priced. The AF-S
VR NIKKOR 200mm f/2.0 G AF-S IF-ED Lens offers a range of applications for all
kinds of photographers. Many will find uses for its expressive quality of
emphasizing subjects in portraits by rendering background elements completely
out of focus, while others will use it for its large aperture, outstanding
clarity and immense potential with VR technology for shooting in streak
conditions.
As to be expected in this lens class, the build quality is superb, a truly
professional grade lens. Most parts are made of metal with a slight crinkle
finish. The broad rubberized focus control ring operates smoothly. The solid
construction and the amount of glass lift the weight to almost 3 kg, which is on
the borderline of being hand-holdable. It's certainly possible for a short time,
but for longer use a monopod is a welcome accessory.
The unique combination of an f/2 maximum aperture combined with
Vibration Reduction enables new photographic opportunities in light
conditions previously impossible to achieve. The shallow depth of field created
by the wide f/2 aperture offers a unique appearance to pictures combined with a
pleasing background blur and bright viewfinder image and will find favour with
photographers seeking to capture movement with fast shutter speeds in low
lighting conditions.
When light levels get really low,
VR can be activated to enable sharp available-light images of still
subjects. The AF-S VR Nikkor 200mm f/2G IF-ED is the fifth
Nikkor lens to incorporate Nikon's renowned Vibration Reduction system. The
system comprises of a suspended lens element that is positioned according to
data from gyroscopic sensors and that compensates for accidental vertical or
horizontal movement during slow shutter exposures. The Nikon VR system
can also detect deliberate movement such as panning automatically. Exposures
with three or more stops slower shutter speed compared to a lens without VR can
be achieved depending on shooting conditions and the technique of individual
photographers. This VR performance can be applied in a choice of two modes to
suit shooting circumstances. Normal mode is perfect for common shooting
conditions, including panning or when using a tripod, whilst Active mode is
designed to compensate for specific shake caused when shooting at slow shutter
speeds from moving platforms such as cars or aircraft.
As its name suggests,
Super ED glass offers increased contrast and reduced levels of aberrations
over current ED glass, so important when shooting at wide apertures. The AF-S
VR Nikkor 200mm f/2.G IF-ED integrate a total of four
ED elements, the most currently available in a
Nikkor SLR lens.
