(Refurbished Excellent) Nikon AF-S 70-200mm F/2.8G ED VR II - F-mount Camera Lens

The Nikon AF-S 70-200mm f/2.8G ED VR II – F-mount is a professional-grade telephoto zoom lens designed for Nikon FX and DX DSLR cameras. It features a constant f/2.8 maximum aperture across the zoom range for excellent low-light performance and shallow depth of field. Built-in Vibration Reduction (VR II) helps deliver sharper handheld shots by compensating camera shake, and a ring-type Silent Wave Motor (SWM) ensures fast, quiet autofocus with full-time manual override.

Optically, the lens uses 21 elements in 16 groups, including seven Extra-low Dispersion (ED) glass elements and advanced coatings such as Nano Crystal Coat to minimize chromatic aberrations and flare while maximizing sharpness, contrast, and color fidelity. The nine-blade rounded diaphragm produces pleasing out-of-focus highlights, and a 77 mm filter thread lets you add filters for creative control.

With a close-focus distance of about 1.4 m (4.6 ft) and rugged construction that includes dust and moisture sealing, this lens is built for demanding professional use. It’s a versatile choice for photographers shooting sports, events, wildlife, outdoor action, and portraiture.
