55-200mm f4-5.6G AFS DX review at PhotoRadar
"Compared to some of the more extreme telephotos on the market, this lens’s specs do look fairly tame. It’s a bit plasticky, and it would be easy to write it off as a budget zoom for amateurs. But its compact size, low weight and smooth operation are rather appealing and if you want a ‘just-in-case’ telephoto for your gadget bag, this is perfect."

Bargain lenses for Nikon – the humble 55-200mm VR by Kim Brebach
55-200mm f4-5.6G AFS VR DX review at ePhotozine
"Being priced at under £209, this lens represents a bit of a bargain, especially as it is so lightweight and the sharpness in the centre is good from maximum aperture. This lens is already popular amongst those looking for a lens to compliment their 18-55mm kit lens when their camera is purchased. The high performance this lens is capable of may also lead this lens to becoming part of the kit bag of more advanced photographers too."
55-200mm f4-5.6G AFS VR DX review at PhotographyTalk
"Although there are some sharpness limitations, the Nikkor 55–200mm performs better than one might expect, considering its price. Maximum sharpness is evident throughout most of the focal range; however, the corners tend to go soft at f/4 or 5.6."
 

55-300
50-300mm f4.5-5.6G AFS VR at ePhotozine
"During my time with the lens I had a couple of niggles, but then I've been spoilt. It is fairly typical for consumer level lenses not to have internal focusing. On the other hand, the delay I experienced with the stabiliser kicking in I found a little more disconcerting."
55-300mm f4.5-5.6G AFS VR review at PhotoReview
"The review lens was something of a ‘curate's egg' (excellent in part). On the plus side were the effective VR stabilisation system and the quiet and effective autofocusing system. On the minus side, most test shots appeared slightly soft."
55-300mm f4.5-5.6G AFS VR DX review by Kim Brebach
"If you can get this lens for a decent price, and it should come down to below $400 once the initial sales drop off, this is a pretty good option. The things I liked most were its good optics, effective VR and its size and weight, both on the right side of unwieldy. The slow AF is a grumble but only if you shoot a lot of fast-moving action."
55-300mm f4-56.G AFS VR DX review at DigitalReview
"Although it does not focus quite as fast as other lenses in the Nikkor lineup (like the AF-S 70-300mm VR II Nikkor zoom), the AF-S DX 55-300mm VR II will serve its Nikon DX format SLR user target audience of family and travel photographers well at a reasonable price."
55-300mm f4.5-5.6G AFS VR DX review at PopPhoto
"On our optical bench, the lens delivered Excellent-range sharpness and contrast at 55mm and 200mm. Its dip to Very Good SQF numbers at 300mm, while expected, put it behind the uniformly Excellent numbers earned by a recently tested comparable zoom, Pentax’s 55–300mm. But the Nikon did superbly in other optical categories: no light falloff and virtually no distortion at 55mm, and great subject magnification—1:3.14 at 300mm."
55-300mm f.5-5.6G AFS VR DX review by Thom Hogan
"Some people were unhappy that Nikon would take engineering time to create the 55-300mm DX, thinking that the 55-200mm DX and the 70-300mm VR were enough. I happen to think that Nikon was wise to offer the in-between option. Even if the compromises aren't perfect for you, they will be for some people. I'm not afraid to shoot with this lens. It's what I took as a telephoto option on my Patagonia trip while shooting on a D7000. I was not dissatisfied with the results (other than having to duct tape the lens hood back together)."

"For Nikon shooters, the 70-200mm lens has been the de facto pro lens, and until the version 2 of the lens came along, it was the optical king of the hill. There was always the lingering question of corner performance, and while in our review lens there are some soft corners, it's not the worst we've seen."

Is the 70-200VR2 Worth Upgrading To? by Moose Peterson
"This question comes up a whole lot of late and wanted to once and for all get my answer out there in big, bold type. YES! I personally find the new version to be a tad sharper and have a little sharper contrast which leads to better color than the original 70-200VR."

German language review
70-200mm f2.8G VR-II review by Greg Reinacker
"Incredibly sharp optics, dramatically better VR, much reduced light falloff, and excellent contrast even in severe lighting conditions. It’s unquestionably the best zoom lens in this range I’ve ever used."
70-200mm f2.8G ED VR II review at ePhotozine
"Being one of Nikon's top lenses, anything short of excellent would be disappointing. Luckily, this lens does not disappoint in terms of build, image quality or any other aspect of its performance."
70-200mm f/2.G AFS VR II first impressions by Jason Odell (NikonLinks sponsor)
"The Nikkor 70-200mm f/2.8G AFS VRII is a vastly better lens than its predecessor in nearly every category.  It is sharp wide-open, has better AF and VR performance, and handles TCs with ease."
70-200mm f2.8G AF-S VR II review at SLRGear
"There's little doubt that the lens represents some of the best optical engineering to date, and that the purchase of the lens represents an investment that's not likely to lose its value."
70-200mm f2.8G AF-S VR II review by Peter K. Burian for Photocrati
"Anyone who still doubts that a zoom can match an excellent single-focal length lens should become a convert after trying this one. In terms of sharpness, resolution of intricate details, snappy contrast, freedom from flare and from color fringing, it is definitely an outstanding performer."
70-200mm f2.8G AF-S VR II review by Thom Hogan
"From a true performance standpoint, the gains from the new version are not dramatic when used on DX...FX users have sort of the opposite initial take: if corner sharpness and brightness is at all important to you, the new lens is much, much better than the old one."
70-200mm f2.8G AF-S VR II review at DPReview
"Overall, though, it's impossible to conclude anything other than that the AF-S Nikkor 70-200mm F2.8 G VR II is the most accomplished lens of its type that we've tested so far, and a perfect companion to Nikon's top-end bodies such as the D3S and D3X. DX shooters may not have so much reason to upgrade from the previous model, but for FX users the improvements are clear."
70-200mm f2.8G AFS VR II review at PopPhoto
"Nikon has replaced one of its optical crown jewels with a superstar. Its improvements are largely tweaks, but taken together—the sharper performance at the wide end, and the greater consistency at the long—they make for an impressive update."
70-200mm f2.8G AFS VR II review at PhotoZone
"The Nikon AF-S 70-200 VR II is a very good zoom lens that delivers excellent sharpness wide open already, at least in the image center. Vignetting is very well controlled and CAs as well as distortion are typical for a lens in this class. LoCAs are rather low and the bokeh is exceptionally smooth for a zoom lens."
70-200mm f2.8G AF-S VR II review by Terry White
"I'm not really sure how Nikon justified the significant bump in price of the new lens. I'm glad that I got in while the getting was good on the original one. With that said, I LOVE this lens and if something happened to it, I'd have to replace it with a new one. No question about that."
70-200mm f2.8G AFS VR II review at UsedNikon
"The 70-200 VR II is a bit perplexing. It's IQ is really beyond most expectations. My copy shows sharpness that exceeds a stopped down 85 1.8 and my macro primes as well. But a good deal of people will be troubled by the loss of apparent FL at closer range."
70-200mm f2.8G AFS VR II review at Shutterbug
"In conclusion, I find this lens more exciting to use then its predecessors; it’s quicker, sharper, brighter, and, although it’s a bit heavier (try 7 lbs total when mounted on my D3X), I can live with that. With this new upgrade, this pro-level Nikon zoom is among the best of the best."
70-200mm f2.8G AFS VR II review by the Mansurovs
"The new Nikon 70-200mm f/2.8 VR II is clearly a better lens than its predecessor. As can be seen from the image examples in this review, the performance of this lens is outstanding at maximum apertures throughout the focal lengths and the new VR II system clearly helps in getting shake-free images at low shutter speeds of 1/50 and below."
70-200mm f2.8G AFS VR II review by Matt Beardsley
"For now, despite it’s stupid-big dimensions too-plastic feel, and disheartening price tag, I would highly recommend this lens. It’s fun to use, with a comfy grip, smooth rings, and very useful VR technology. The results are awesome, and that’s what really counts. Color, sharpness, creamy out-of-focus areas, awesome."
70-200mm f2.8G AFS VR II review by Todd Owyoung
"Is the new 70-200mm f/2.8 worth the upgrade if you already own the original Nikon 70-200mm f/2.8 VR I? My opinion is no – while the new VR II offers a lot to like, at the end of the day it’s still a $2,100 lens. The improvements are not so much that I’m really tempted to make the switch myself."

    "The Nikon AF-S 70-300mm f/4.5-5.6 VR delivers very good to excellent sharpness in the image center combined with good to very good resolution at the borders and corners. Vignetting is well controlled, but CAs are quite high (though easy to remove in post processing) and distortion is above average for this lens class."

"If you are in the market for a more powerful zoom to complement your Nikon digital or film SLR, the Nikon 70-300mm f4.5-5.6G ED-IF AF-S VR Zoom-Nikkor lens is designed for telephoto shooting opportunities, such as sports, action, wildlife, travel and portrait photography."
70-300mm f4.5-5.6 AFS VR review at PhotoRadar
"Inevitably, you have to balance quality against cost when choosing lenses. Nikon’s 70-300mm isn’t perfect optically, but it’s above average and it’s good to use. Perhaps most importantly, it fits both DX and FX Nikon bodies, so your investment will have plenty of time to pay off whichever bodies you choose in future."
70-300mm f4.5-5.6G AFS VR review by Dante Stella
"People might complain about the plastic barrel. No problem, I say. If it makes it possible to make the lens smaller and lighter, it's great. This lens should not come apart under normal use. Bottom line: Is it worth its $529 street price? Hell yes!"
70-300mm f4.5-5.6G AFS VR review by the Mansurovs
"Despite being a consumer zoom level, the Nikon 70-300mm proved to be an excellent lens when it comes to performance, value and weight."
70-300mm f4.5-5.6G AFS VR review at ePhotozine
"This lens performs well throughout the zoom range, especially at shorter focal lengths in the centre of the frame. At 300mm stopping down the lens a little will produce the best results. With a price tag of £440 this lens represents good value, due to its good sharpness, build quality and the useful Vibration Reduction feature."

"I have no reservations about using this lens for professional work. The real world sharpness is there where you want it. Furthermore, while it lacks the same modern lens coatings and exotic glass of a lens like the Nikon 70-200mm f/2.8 VR II, I think you’d be hard pressed to pick out images from one lens or another out of a random assortment."

"Nikon appear to be in the middle of revamping their line of professional quality lenses at present, and I would imagine this focal range will be high on their list. In my opinion, this lens could sorely do with an update, optically, as well as with the design in order for it to fully justify the £1100+ price tag."

80-400mm f4.5-5.6 VR review (on FX camera) at Photozone
"Optically, the lens delivers very good to excellent resolution at its short end, however at its longest focal length (which is probably what you're more interested in when purchasing a tele zoom) the sharpness drops to somewhat disappointing levels. In addition, pincushion distortion is rather high here and CAs are quite high thoughout most of the focal range. Vignetting is well controlled though."

"Note that despite my misgivings about very long distance use and teleconverters, I still use this lens a lot. It's what's known as a "trade-off lens." You're trading off some things (long distance, TC use, slower aperture) for other things (smaller, lighter, useful zoom ratio). It's surprising the things that aren't sacrificed in the tradeoff (image quality for the most part, focus speed and reliability)."

"My dilemma is still showing you via the web any differences I might be seeing. And I am seeing a difference, the new 200-400VRII does produce cleaner images (cleaner=sharper/contrastier) which is a slight improvement on an already great lens."

  • More from the 200-400VRII - Moose Peterson

  • Nikon 200-400VRII w/TC-20eIII - Moose Peterson
    "First and foremost, shooting the 200-400VRII with the TC-20eIII (no, didn’t test and not going to test with 1.7x) produces gorgeous quality, easily producing a 24×30 print which is my standard. With this said, I would personally never use that combo. The 200-400VRII lives to be shot on its own!"
200-400mm f4G AFS VR II review at ePhotozine
"It comes as no surprise to me that this lens is a superb performer, as was its predecessor. It is capable of producing images with superb resolution and contrast and built to cope with the daily rigours of professional working life."
200-400mm f4G AFS VR II review at PDNGearGuide
"Nikon further adds to its arsenal of full-frame (aka FX) glass with the Nikkor 200-400mm f/4G ED VR II, a wonderful new lens for sports and nature photographers that adds several small but significant upgrades including VR II image stabilization technology and Nano Crystal Coat to reduce ghosting and flare in backlit subjects."
200-400mm f4G AFS VR II review by Todd Owyoung
"Needless to say, the optics of this lens are very, very good. While some users have made small whimpering noises about the performance of this lens at infinity when used at wide apertures, I’ve found this lens delivers excellent quality for all practical distances when shooting live music."
