Nikon 70-200mm f/2.8G VR II — flare

To my DAP review of the 70-200 VR II, I’ve added a page discussing flare for the Nikon 70-200mm f/2.8G VR II on the Nikon D3s.

In general the 70-200VR2 is outstanding with respect to flare, but sunlight striking the front lens element is a problem.

I’m very pleased with the 70-200VR2 overall, it’s clearly the best zoom of its range yet devised by Nikon, and probably better than all four of the Canon 70-200 designs as well. It does have some disappointments, which I discuss in my review, but no lens is perfect, and I’ll be buying a copy for myself, which is perhaps the strongest endorsement I can give.

You can get 70-200mm f/2.8G VR II at B&H Photo, it was in stock as I wrote this.
