The AF-S VR Nikkor 200mm f/2G IF-ED offers a variety 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, superb clarity
and immense potential with VR technology for shooting in low light conditions
or from moving platforms.
The 200mm f/2G VR IF-ED incorporates Super ED glass - a significant new material that is more resilient than typical fluorite lenses and offers higher optical quality with exceptional consistency even at large apertures.
With a maximum aperture of f/2, this lens is a very fast lens that when combined with the advantages of VR technology, offers photographers remarkable shooting capabilities that may not have been previously possible. Nikon's advanced VR technology eliminates image blur caused by camera shake, particularly when shooting in low-light conditions, allowing photographers to use shutter speeds up to three stops slower (8x) than they would ordinarily use to get sharp, well exposed images.
Note: G-type lenses are fully compatible with all current camera models (as of 01/04). The older camera models F4, N90/s, N70, N8008/s, N6000 will only work in Program and Shutter Priority modes.
Note: VR feature will only work with Nikon's F6, F5, F100, N80, N75, N65, D100 & D1 and D2-series (or any newer model) cameras.
Note: AF-S feature is not supported by certain camera models. Please
