I&#8217;ve had just a couple of opportunities to squirrel around with it as I&#8217;m deep in writing my next book. Now many faithful 70-200f2.8 owners have chimed in they are happy with their f2.8 and that&#8217;s great, that&#8217;s not why I&#8217;m talking about this lens though. This lens does a number of things the f\/2.8 does not do: focuses much closer, closes down to f\/32, weighs nearly 2lbs less and costs less (but comes without tripod collar). Two of these features are important to me, MFD and f\/32. They solve very specific photographic issues I have. Some have asked what about the f\/4 &#038; f\/2.8, don&#8217;t you need the speed? I would ask, how many owners of the f\/2.8 shoot at f\/2.8? Most don&#8217;t because either they read they shouldn&#8217;t or they think they need to close down for DOF yet paid a lot of money for that f\/2.8. Acquiring gear has to solve two major issues in my camera bag, do something very important any other piece of gear can&#8217;t and gear lust. So far in my limited shooting, the 70-200VR3 does both so I&#8217;m happy.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I&#8217;ve had the 70-200f4 VR3 for a few days now.
