Where to start with this flagship lens. The Nikon 70-200 2.8 Version 2 is a pro quality lens that is carried in most professionals bag's. The lens is heavy and extremely well built. It's focal range of 70-200 is controlled with a very grippy rubber ring that turns easily and maintains its position when the camera is being moved around. Its focus works much like the zoom ring and the focus can be manually adjusted even when it is set to auto which is a really handy feature. You will find the 70-200 on a dx body very usable and enjoy being able to far away from your subjects, especially with children so them can play and be there selves and still fill the frame with the subjects. The fast 2.8 constant aperture throughout the focal plane makes this lens very fast and bright. The lens is tack sharp from corner to corner even wide open. It will stop down to as small as f/22. The lens has a permanent tripod mount built into the lens and can be changed from portrait to landscape with a screw based system on the lens. The VRII offers on/off normal/active selections that can help add 4 stops of light to your subjects when needed. This lens is not for everyone right away due to it's price tag, but something to work your way up to. Always consider purchasing quality lenses before camera bodies as this will always lead to better pictures. You can look at and order the nikon 70-200 2.8 from bhphoto.
