Lens Buying Guide

  • Compatible with a variety of Nikon DSLR cameras: Works with any Nikon FX or DX-format DSLR camera with an F-bayonet mount. Also compatible with most Nikon 35mm SLR cameras.
  • Telephoto zoom lens provides detailed photos from a distance: Throw backgrounds out of focus, grab detail and capture vivid close-up shots of distant subjects.
  • 70–200mm focal length: This versatile, long-range zoom lens covers a broad range, enabling you to capture the perfect image from various distances.
  • f/4 maximum aperture: Creates sharp, detailed images with shallow depth of field and softly blurred background. Performs best in moderate-to-bright light settings or outdoors on overcast days.
  • Vibration Reduction image stabilization: Allows you to shoot at shutter speeds up to 4 stops slower without image blur. Ensures dramatically sharp still images and HD video capture, even for handheld shooting.
  • SWM (Silent Wave Motor) ensures smooth, precise focusing: Utilizes ultrasound vibrations to focus the lens, resulting in smooth, silent and precise autofocusing.
  • ED (Extra-low Dispersion) glass for superior image quality: Effectively corrects chromatic aberration for optimum lens performance.
  • M/A focusing mode: Allows you to switch from manual to automatic with virtually no lag time, by simply turning the focusing ring on the lens.
  • Internal Focus for fast, smooth autofocusing: Allows for a more compact, lightweight construction and a closer focusing distance without changes in the lens barrel length.
  • Advanced lens coatings for improved optics: Nano Crystal Coat antireflective coating produces fine, clear images even under bright sunlight or indoor spotlights. Nikon Super Integrated Coating minimizes ghosting and flare.
  • Accommodates 67mm filters: Compatible with screw-on filter types.
  • Accessories included: Comes with a hood, lens cap (front and rear) and case.

  • Owner's manual

Q: I have a Nikon D5100. Looking to take shots of paintball action. What lens?

A: The 70-200 f4 is a great lens. In bright light, it focuses fast and accurately. depending on how close you want to be to the action, you might want more reach but with a DX sensor this gives you the equivalent of 300mm. The 70-300 is significantly slower focus and is a variable f-stop lens. This means the further you zoom, the less light is available to the sensor. Both are great lenses and I have shot birds in flight with both lenses so you can capture rapid action.

Q: Is this lens compatible on a nikon1v2 and would it be good for safari

A: My 70-200 f4 is a much used lens. I'd use it on Safari for the close ups. But, I'd consider taking something longer too.
