Nikon announces the AF-S Nikkor 200mm f2G ED VR II, a successor to the legendary 200/2 lens adding the second generation VR and a new mode for the AF switch.

I have to begin my list of Nikons best lenses with the one I personally like the most, the famous Nikkor 200/2 lens. Compared to other tele primes it’s rather small and light (at least at 2,9 kg it’s lighter than other primes) and it’s bokeh is gorgeous. And the fast f/2.0 really help’s a lot when you are an available light fan like I am. Even with teleconverts the lens delivers good results. While far from cheap it’s worth every penny.

Bjørn Rørslett, famous for his lens reviews, shares my enthusiasm about the lens. Click here for his review.

If you want to find good samples of pictures made with this lens and if you want to meet some nice people who share the enthusiasm for this lens visit the famous thread at the Nikon Cafe forum – already counting 194 pages (at least till today).
