DP Review has just reviewed the Nikon AF-S VR Nikkor 70-200mm 1:2.8G and give the lens a ‘highly recommended’ rating for DX format cameras but a lower ‘recommend’ rating when used on full frame sensor FX format cameras.
They write: The Nikon AF-S VR 70-200mm F2.8G is a lens which would, were it designated ‘DX’, be fully deserving of the highest accolades. On the smaller sensor format, results are nothing short of spectacular – resolution is excellent even wide open, chromatic aberration and geometric distortion are low, and falloff negligible. Combine this with the impeccable build quality, excellent autofocus, and effective image stabilisation, and this lens is getting close to flawless…. The problem is that, with the introduction of the D3, DX is no longer the pre-eminent format in Nikon’s DSLR line, and 35mm full-frame has re-arisen from the ashes in the guise of FX… the D3 is a top-end camera, so it seems reasonable to assume that Nikon’s workhorse professional lenses should give excellent results on it; sadly, the 70-200mm F2.8 VR doesn’t quite manage this, with signficant vignetting at wide apertures throughout the zoom range, and distinctly soft corners at longer focal lengths…. So overall we’re left with a lens which is a great option for most potential buyers, but simply isn’t quite up to the demands of full frame capture.”
