Nikon AF-S NIKKOR 70-200mm f/2.8G ED VR II Lens, better than 70-200mm f2.8E fl

Description: Professional, fast aperture, telephoto zoom lens with Vibration Reduction, and Nano Crystal coat. Boasts superb edge-to-corner sharpness and fast, quiet autofocus that offers outstandingly sharp images under any lighting conditions. Weather sealed magnesium body to meet the most challenging professional needs. This Nikon 70-200mm 2.8 VR II lens is the last Nikon pro tele zoom that has the zoom and focus rings in the traditional (normal) place on the lens barrel. That is, the zoom ring is closest to the camera, focus is out near the front of the lens. Nikon switched these in the newer “E” and “Z” mount versions, and it’s a big pain in the butt to remember to grab the correct ring. This lens served me very well for many years, it was the first Nikon 70-200, 80-200 2.8 zoom that I owned that didn’t need any focus adjustments in the camera. It was perfectly spot on from the very beginning. I have owned and used professionally every single Nikon Pro 2.8 tele zoom beginning with the first push pull 80-200mm 2.8 back in the late 1980’s. This was my favorite F-mount version. I upgraded to the newer “E” version with the swapped zoom rings because of all the hype about sharpness, but honestly, I can’t see any difference on my 24 and 36 megapixel bodies. I kinda wish I never bought the newer lens actually, this one does everything you need. This lens is in good shape, the only defect is a tiny scratch towards the edge of the front element. Zero effect on image quality. I bought the lens like this, scratches on front elements of telephoto lenses rarely affect anything, its scratches on the rear elements you have to worry about. I always look for lenses with little scratches on the front glass to score a great deal on a lens I otherwise couldn’t afford. This lens comes with an upgraded arca-swiss tripod foot and a tightly fitting lens hood. A little bit of dust inside, but not bad at all considering it’s age. A few scratches in the paint on the body of the lens, please examine all the photos and ask any questions beforehand. The filter threads work fine, I’m always using a polarizer outside.
