Nikon AF-S Nikkor 200mm f/2G ED VR II

Reader Comments on Nikon 200mm f/2 ED VR II

David T writes:

Thanks for your great website and excellent analyses, which are very useful to me.

And thank you very much for your review of the 200mm F2 lens. Very interesting results! I’m glad that you were inspired to arrange a copy for review, and pleased that you found the unique characteristics that I mentioned. The very high sharpness of in-focus areas is wonderfully contrasted with the gentle blurs of out of focus areas, both foreground and background.

Thank you also for pointing out the focus shift issue. I have noticed this with my copy as well, but, as you state, have found it mostly ignorable for autofocus shooting, and not an issue for Live View shooting, where I’m focusing at the actual aperture.

Diglloyd DAP is DSLR-oriented, but also contains workflow and other topics. Much of the focus is on Canon and Nikon but also Pentax and Pentax medium format.

Special emphasis is placed on lens evaluation, focusing on Canon and Nikon and Sigma lenses, but with a few others like Rokinon/Samyang.

  • Make better images by learning how to get the best results right away.
  • Save money by choosing the right lens for your needs the first time, particularly some of the new Sigma Art lenses vs Nikon and Canon.
  • Workflow discusses image organization, raw conversion and post processing. Many examples show processing parameters for direct insight into how the image was converted.
  • Jaw-dropping image quality found nowhere else utilizing Retina-grade images up to full camera resolution, plus large crops [past 2 years or so].
  • Real world examples with insights found nowhere else. Make sharper images just by understanding lens behavior you won’t read about elsewhere.
  • Aperture series from wide open through stopped down, showing the full range of lens performance and bokeh.
  • Optical quality analysis of field curvature, focus shift, sharpness, flare, distortion, and performance in the field.
