This is to be expected with F2.8 vs. F4.0. Note - this is the "first" Nikon 70-200. The newer one has VRII, and does not suffer as much from the noticeable vignetting of the lens tested. But this is the only one I had . We would also expect the Nikon to be a sharper all around lens, as it costs $800 more than the Sony. So, another trip to the

What makes the 28-200 really special even vs those other 2 super zooms is the f2.8 wide end and the fact that it's still f4.5 thru around 112mm IIRC. It's like having a fast-ish standard zoom with a solid variable tele on top of it, all in a relatively small and sub-600g package.
you will probably end up buying both the 24-70 f2.8 and the 70-200 f2.8 and keep the 24-120 f4 for extended zoom range AND have a range of primes as well. That is where most pros that shoot a range of things, including natural light portraits, find themselves after a number of years.
The Canon RF 70-200mm F4 and F2.8 lenses are both excellent options, but the F2.8 lens offers a wider aperture, allowing for better low-light performance and more dramatic bokeh effects. Additionally, the F2.8 lens is heavier and more expensive than the F4 lens. Credit: www.pictureline.com Table of ContentsBuild And DesignSize And Weight ComparisonWeather Sealing FeaturesTripod […]
Earlier this year my 80-200 f2.8 broke (well, I broke it by dropping on concrete). Nikon's 70-200mm f/2.8 VR II was too expensive, could not find used VR I in good condition so I ended up buying 70-200 2.8 stabilized sigma. Sigma turned out to be a very nice lens with faster and more accurate autofocus on my D300 and additional benefit of good
I did have a 70-200 f4 5.6D. First the 180mm 2.8 d, I love the image quality and light weight of this lens but the fixed fixed focal length I do find limiting at times and the focus is slow compared to my other Nikon Lens. The 70 200 f4 5.6 very good image qulity and light weight, not fast focus but not too bad. Not better than 70-300VR, no VR

Captured with the 70-200mm f/4 lens. As a landscape photographer, it’s rare that you need f/2.8, especially for the type of images I tend to capture. It’s more important for me to save weight (1540 gm/3.2 lbs versus 850 gm/1.9 lbs) since my backpack gets quite heavy when carrying all my lenses and cameras, a tripod, and other accessories.
F2.8 give an extra stop of light, shallower depth of field wide open, are generally larger, heavier and more expensive. Depends on the lens but a 2.8 stopped down to f4 is usually sharper than a f4 lens wide open. Sharpness, colour rendition, contrasts, distortion, aberrations etc. depends on the lens. 1. Dubdah.
Jonathan F/2. I'm thinking of trading up my Nikon 70-200mm f4 VR for the 70-300mm AF-P ED FX lens + 85mm 1.8 G lens. While the 70-200mm f4 VR seems to rate as the better telephoto lens, the new 70-300mm AF-P FX seems to rate highly as well. I was also thinking of pairing it with the 85mm 1.8 G when I need a better portrait oriented lens.
The colors on the 70-200 f4 VR are Nikon classic! I'd only get the cheaper 2.8 lenses if you plan to do more portraiture work, where the 2.8 at closer distances will give it a bit more subject separation. The 70-200 f4 though is an amazing all-arounder.
Tamron sells a 70-200 2.8 that's every bit as good as Nikon's 70-200 VRI/II 2.8 and weighs only 400g more than Nikons 70-200 f4 sans tripod collar. If you're fine with the weight while shooting, then you can find better ways to save 400g in your pack (packing less, buying a lighter bag, etc.)
Acworth, Georgia. Feb 16, 2014. #1. I am considering either the 70-200mm f2.8 or the 28-300mm f3.5-5.6. The lens would be used mostly for wildlife such as birds and maybe the occasional car race. I have handled the 70-200mm f2.8 and like it a lot, but that extra 300mm reach on the 28-300mm might be nice. Of course the 300mm would be slower.
A D4 is 1340 grams, a 70-200 is 1470 grams, so nearly equal weight. If you use the tripod collar, the bayonet has to deal with exactly the same weight relations, because on the other side of the bayonet is a body of nearly 3 pounds, with flash even much more. The Nikon bayonet can carry much more weight than you think.
