The mechanical quality of the 70-200mm VR is the epitome of professional durability, optical quality and precision, making it the perfect, all-purpose, pro tele-zoom. From its introduction in 2003, the Nikon 70-200mm VR quickly became Nikon's top professional zoom lens for news and sports photographers.

Ken Rockwell writes, “The reason the 70-200mm VR costs ten times what other equally sharp lenses might cost are because the 70-200 VR also offers:

• Fast f/2.8 speed for low light, soft backgrounds and action-stopping shutter speeds.
• Built tough: all metal except for rubber gaskets and bumpers.
• Built to last: many markings are engraved to outlast all of us.
• Fast, quiet AF with a silent wave motor. You won't scare sensitive subjects as other AF lenses might.
• Instant manual-focus override: just grab the focus ring at any time
• Vibration reduction so you can leave the tripod at home.
• Three AF-Lock buttons to lock focus when pressed and held. These are extremely handy once you learn to use them.
• Better bokeh than most other Nikkor lenses.”

Unused for over 10 years, this great lens is very clean.  The body is unmarked, in pristine condition and in perfect working order. Optics reveal some minor fungus, but this does not affect shots and can readily be remedied by a Nikon service.  A bargain, it works perfectly with every Nikon DX and FX digital SLR and comes with original front and rear lens caps, lens hood and carry pouch.

I am willing to consider serious offers.  Email for further information gwilymh@iinet.net.au
