This is one wickedly sharp lens! This is a lens who many might not think is needed with the release of the 70-200VR2. The only problem with that thought, the 200f2 is f2 and the 70-200f2.8 is f2.8 and that extra stop at 200mm makes all the difference in the world. The 200f2 is a specialty lens, it&#8217;s not one you have with you all the time (most photographers). It is large and heavy compared to any other 200mm lens and just doesn&#8217;t slip into a should bag easily.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Why do I have this lens in my bag? It&#8217;s always with me when out shooting big game. When I want to make that big critter pop from its background while still including it, you jsut can&#8217;t beat f2. There are times in low light situations when that f2 is the only cure (I&#8217;m not a &#8220;crank up the ISO&#8221; kinda shooter). I also use this lens a lot shooting landscapes because on the D3x, it just delivers stunning images. Lastly, I still love photographing folks and this lens just brings a whole new feel and look to portraits. <\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.moosepeterson.com\/Gear_NS\/200f2_ca.jpg?resize=421%2C313&#038;quality=100\" class=\"alignleft\" width=\"421\" height=\"313\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The 200f2 works fabulously with the TC-14e, TC-17e and TC-20e. Personally, I use the TC-14e on the 200f2 while the other converters hardly, that&#8217;s just a personally taste for working focal length. You&#8217;ll notice the 200VR is wearing a <strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.lenscoat.com\/lenscoatsuptmsup-nikon-p-54.html\" target=\"_blank\">LensCoat<\/a><\/strong>, this is for protection. You&#8217;ll notice though it&#8217;s not wearing all the pieces that are made for it. You&#8217;ll also notice the tripod foot has been swapped out by the one made by <strong><a href=\"http:\/\/reallyrightstuff.com\/rrs\/Itemdesc.asp?ic=LCF-15&#038;eq=&#038;Tp=\" target=\"_blank\">RRS, their LCF-15<\/a><\/strong>. When the shade is reversed for storage, the lens foot goes inside the shade. If you add a plate to the tripod foot that comes with the 200f2, the shade won&#8217;t reverse, it will hit the plate. If you use a quick release system, your option is either this replacement foot or never reversing your shade.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>02.15.10 This is one sexy lens!
