Very useful info. These is exactly what I was looking for and it`s what I need if I am to become more than an amateur photographer. Thanx and keep up the good work.

Hi Geoff,

You’re welcome. I’ve actually done some further adjustment of the lens and get consistently better results at f/2.8 – f/3.5 than are shown here. I’ve used the lens extensively now and I love it.

Thank you for the short review of this lens. I have been looking at several primes in this focal length range, but I am starting to believe that this zoom may fulfil my needs better, thanks for your input.

Hi Chris.

I finally “bit the bullet” and bought the new VRII. I upgraded from the old 80-200 so it’s my first experience of a VR lens, and the results are stunning! I’m also getting usable results at 1/10th of a second even with my slightly dodgy technique!

I can’t wait for the wedding season to start, this lens will change the way I shoot.

Hi Tim,

I was in the same situation you are and decided to sell my VR 1 for the new version. After using the lens for weeks now, I can tell you that you will not regret the upgrade.

The VRII is wonderful down to 1/10th of second but the best part about the new lens is how much easier it is to use in the field. The ergonomic improvements cannot be overstated. I shot a 12 hour event with it yesterday and I loved every minute of it.

I’ll be updating this post with more sample images as I go.

Let me know if you have specific questions.

Best,

Chris

Thanks for the review. I’m about to get a 70-200mm, just deciding whether the new version is a significant upgrade on the old for extra £500
