200mm · f/2
The Nikon AF-S Nikkor 200mm f/2G ED VR II is an optically superb lens with extreme sharpness and almost no color fringes, especially wide-open. It delivers stunning results and is built like a tank, but is very heavy at about 2.9 kg. Handling is awkward due to a small lens foot that makes hand-holding difficult. It suits professionals needing fast autofocus and excellent low-light performance for portraits, concerts, and indoor sports, but is not for those on a budget or weight limit.
