Let me attempt to kill two questions with one post. Is the 200-400VR2 and 70-200VR2 really sharp, and, do you really get sharp results handholding these two lenses? These two lenses which are cornerstones of my photography right now for both wildlife and aviation keep generating these questions. So I thought I would take a moment to put up a couple of Zoomify images (Click on the Click Here). If you don’t know what Zoomify is, just search this site, I’ve provided the definition many times in the past. Bottomline for my photography, theses lenses along with my well practiced handholding technique provides all the sharpness I require. Search Hadnholding to read about the technique I use. Hope this helps and provides you a measure for what tack sharp should look like.
