Yes, I'm thinking about selling my VR 2 (which I love) and buying the 70-200 FL. Definitely interested in your thoughts if/when you do eventually evaluate the 70-200 FL.

anotherMike, curious as to whether you've had a chance to play with or test the new 70-200 FL?

Would you agree with scokill in saying the new version is essentially better in every way?

Absolutely. Not sure where you're going with your question.

I prefer doing it in camera.

Millions of people that have posted billions of photos.

Thanks for this review. The 24-70 G was a classic on 12 mp bodies like D300 & D3/D700 but showed more of it's faults with the 36 mp generation. Since I purchased the 24 1.8 G, I haven't remounted ...

Very nice. Thx.

Room for improvement.

Strongly disagree with you here. Not all companies ship product the same way.

That'd be great, please post some head to head comparison shots! :-)

I agree with you! I brought up the same point approx. 2 years ago after ordering an even more expensive lens ($2K + 70-200 2.8 VR 2) from B&H and receiving similar packaging. Lens wasn't damaged ...

I would include the D800/E/810 in the revolutionary category.

I know how you feel. Film is still around. Pick up an F100! :)

Thanks. Yes, as owner of a 70-200 2.8 VR 2, I'm wondering whether I should upgrade to new version. It's a lens that I use frequently (both indoors with strobes between f/7.1 & f/11 and outdoors ...

A bit off topic, but curious as to whether you have shot in studio with strobes and/or anywhere between f/7.1 & f/11 with the new 70-200 FL?

Nikon FE, FM2 & F100.

Looks like the Sigma 135 Art shows the best performance in your test, Marianne?

That shot with the slow sync zoom effect is great.

Yes, always, primarily for better portrait orientation ergo.
