  • good god man, the OP has said the camera isn't up to his expectations and isn't as good as the X1, with these samples do we really need for him to explain whats wrong with the X100s oh yeah ;)
  • I totally understand what you mean, these photos are really lacking
  • I've ask the OP this question as it's clearly the reason that they raised this post, Who are these people that think that the II printed on the lens means that the lens features VR 2 or VR II ??
  • Replied in It isn't VRII!
    at what point in these threads have I said that the II printed on the lens after the model name means the version of VR ? I clearly said that Nikon states VR II is a feature of this lens as shown...
  • Replied in It isn't VRII!
    what??? either you're "special" or you failed miserably to read each post in this thread before you quoted only part of my post. either way that's not my logic it's your inability to read
  • I shoot the Nikon 24-70 f2.8 and 70-200 f2.8 II on my D800E's for wedding work, while the 70-200 still has a bit of the magic it had on the D700 and D3x the 24-70 does not, the 24-70 is still very...
  • Yes I read it but you made a pigs-ear out of explaining what you meant, that's the problem. in your original post you said "It is never "VRII" and when it appears printed by Nikon it is "VR II" the...
  • recent rumors have it that Sigma are working on a 135mm f1.8 which will be announced later this year.
  • My "questionable" 24-120mm f4 VR had better corner sharpness than the 28mm f1.8 @ f4, it also didn't didn't suffer field curvature, the 35mm f2 was only a little less sharp @ f2 compared to the...

    that's because this is the second generation of nerdy, nerdy II, Note that this is nerdy II and not nerdyII
  • Replied in It isn't VRII!
    dear oh dear, just who are these people you claim are saying that the II printed on these lenses think that it means VRII?
  • Well I wanted something a bit longer than 85mm plus I needed a macro for a small amount of close detailed work so I bought the Nikon 105mm f2.8 VR Marco lens, I used it for 2 days, for macro work...
  • Replied in It isn't VRII!
    You're looking at this wrong and confusing yourself Think of each lens as being independent the example you used was the 70-200 f2.8 mark 2, this featured the second incarnation of VR technology...
  • I guess it's just a preference but I find that I get better results shooting family members etc with a 50mm than I do with an 85mm, maybe though that suit me better as I mostly shoot candidly, if...

    You should have read my first reply lol, then you would have needed to post lol it does put an end to it when Nikon print it which is why I gave the link, so lol
  • I'd say to sell both and get the 50mm f1.8G, it focuses faster than both the 50 1.4G and the 85 1.8D plus it delivery better image quality. If you then want something longer I'd say look for a used...
  • Replied in It isn't VRII!
    I have this lens and I'm aware of what it has printed on it, I'm also aware that Nikon list this lens as "AF-S NIKKOR 70-200mm f/2.8G ED VR II" From the Nikon website...
  • Replied in It isn't VRII!
    In reference to the 70-200 f2.8, there have been two versions of this lens featuring VR, the newer version features the next generation of VR for the 70-200 f2.8, so VR 2 for said lens. So the...
  • stunning work

  • the actual point of focus seems to be around her ear looking at the sharpness in her hair
