Nikon 18-200 f/2.8 VR II Sigma 18-200 f/2.8 VC Nikon 18-200 f/4 VRIII Used Nikon 80-200 f/2.8 AF-D. I think I'm learning towards the f/4, but I'm have a hard time deciding whether I'm better of just waiting until I can afford the VRII rather than settling.

But after I did a Quick-Take post on the new Nikon 80-400 AF-S VR lens I received about two-dozen emails and comments asking if the 70-200 f/2.8 AF-S VR II lens with a Nikon 2X III teleconverter was as good as, or better than, the new 800-400 AF-S VR. Now the best part, it allows an old work horse like the D300 be relevant again. The low light and fast action performance of the 70-200mm f2.8 FL ED VR gives new life to older generation bodies. Although the D500 combined with this lens is an unrivaled combo, when working in the bush I couple a 200-400 f4 to the D500 and the 70-200 to a D300. The Nikon 70-200mm f/4 VR has almost the same optical quality of the Nikon 70-200mm f/2.8 VR II, but at half the price, size and weight. And thatā€™s quite an achievement, since the Nikon 70-200 mm f/2.8 VR II is one of the best lenses weā€™ve tested so far. Since we donā€™t have to stick to 64 ISO anymore, f/4 is more than fast enough. 2- Weight. Anyone shooting f/2.8 zooms just has to get used to it, it does feel lighter (more weight at the back). What I like the best, comparing all three, is that the VR2 and FL are physically shorter than the VR1, nice, if you work with it out of a shoulder bag - lens standing upright mounted on camera in something like a Think Tank R20. I had bought the Sigma 70-200 f2.8 (non stabilized) in 2007, used it for a few months and traded it out for the Nikon 70-200 VR. So my review is with reference to 3 year old models and not the latest. Nikon over Sigma + Nikon has faster focus speeds + There were more keeper shots thanks to the VR feature compared to the non-OS Sigma Nikon AF-S Nikkor 70-200mm f/2.8G ED VR II : Nikon D7000 Nikon D800 : DxOMark data : Nikon AF-S Nikkor 70-200mm f/4G ED VR : Nikon D7000 Nikon D800 : DxOMark data : Sigma 70-200mm F2.8 EX DG OS HSM : Canon EOS 5D Mark II Canon EOS 7D Nikon D7000 Nikon D800 : DxOMark data: Canon mount Nikon mount : Tamron SP 70-200mm F/2.8 Di VC USD : Canon EOS .
