The Monkey Posted June 6, 2012 Report Share Posted June 6, 2012 does anyone have experience with the Nikon 70-200 2.8 vr1 or 2? Is it worth it? Also considering the 80-200 2.8 w/o VR. Also, need a wide angle but don't want to break the bank. Any thoughts? The 18-200 VRII is nice, but slow. Want to move to better glass but it's so expensive...

crappyjones123 Posted June 6, 2012 Report Share Posted June 6, 2012 have you considered manual focusing? could go fast and wide and get very good iq. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cankin Posted June 6, 2012 Report Share Posted June 6, 2012 Tokina 11-16 f/2.8 is the fastest wide angle for crop sensor camera, it got many great reviews too. My friend uses that and 70-200 2.8 VRII for his paid job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Salt Peanuts Posted June 6, 2012 Report Share Posted June 6, 2012 (edited) I handled a Canon 70-200/2.8 II couple of years back and one thing I remember is that it was rather heavy - and Nikon one weighs about the same (~3.3 pounds or so), which is to say it weight 2 pounds more than a 18-200. Methinks you should get yourself down to B&H and try it out. I personally wouldn't want to handle that much weight, but I've got tendinosis. Also, from what I read, Nikon 70-200 VR2 is actually bit shorter than 200mm and gets shorter as you focus closer. As for Tokina, aren't they going out with an updated version of 11-16 soon?

Salt Peanuts Posted June 6, 2012 Report Share Posted June 6, 2012 And Dinny, while you are at it, pick up yourself a D700 or D800. Btw, anyone looking for a 105dc? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iron_Dreamer Posted June 6, 2012 Report Share Posted June 6, 2012 D800 landed Monday, in a box that UPS did their best to utterly destroy. The camera seems to run fine though. With the new business, I haven't had the time to do anything resembling really trying the camera out yet. It has a noticeably quieter shutter than the D800, and the new screen is definitely quite nice as well. If anybody would be interested in my D700/grip/l-plate, let me know.
