Nikon AF-S NIKKOR 70-200mm f/2.8G ED VR II Lens
Professional Full-Frame Telephoto Zoom – Constant f/2.8 Aperture, 3.5-Stop VR II Stabilization, 7 ED Elements & Nano Crystal Coat (Includes Caps, Hood & Tripod Foot / Minor Internal Dust)

The Nikon AF-S NIKKOR 70-200mm f/2.8G ED VR II is a flagship telephoto zoom lens engineered for professional and enthusiast FX- and DX-format Nikon F-mount DSLRs. Featuring a fast constant f/2.8 maximum aperture throughout the entire zoom range, this workhorse lens delivers excellent background isolation and low-light performance, making it a primary optic for photojournalism, sports, wildlife, event coverage, and portraiture.

Optically, the lens incorporates seven Extra-Low Dispersion (ED) glass elements to minimize chromatic aberrations and color fringing, paired with Nano Crystal Coat and Super Integrated Coating (SIC) to suppress ghosting, flare, and internal reflections. Nikon’s Vibration Reduction II (VR II) image stabilization provides up to 3.5 stops of camera shake compensation for handheld telephoto shooting in low-light environments. Powered by a Silent Wave Motor (SWM) and an Internal Focus (IF) mechanism, it achieves fast, quiet autofocus performance with full-time manual focus override (M/A mode) down to a minimum focus distance of 4.6 feet. The durable, weather-sealed metal barrel includes a rubber mount gasket for protection against harsh environmental conditions.
