Verdict
Thanks to a silent-wave AF drive and a VR (Vibration Reduction) mechanism
the Nikkor AF-S 70-200mm f/2.8G IF-ED VR is a worthy improvement over the previous
high-speed tele zooms made by Nikon. However, these improvements also come at
cost of a substantially higher price tag and increased dimensions/weight. Performance-wise
the results are excellent and slightly superior to the old AF 80-200mm f/2.8ED.
Vignetting, distortions as well as CAs are well controlled and not really field relevant.
The mechanical quality of the lens is exceptionally high and it's a joy to use this lens.
