Description:

Nikon's advanced VR technology eliminates image blur caused by camera
shake, particularly when shooting in low-light conditions, allowing
photographers to use shutter speeds up to three stops slower than they would
ordinarily use to get sharp, well exposed images. VR performance is further
augmented in the AF-S VR Nikkor 200mm f/2G IF-ED by a VR selection
switch that enables photographers to choose between two different VR
modes to best suit the subject at hand - Normal mode is ideal for most
common shooting conditions, panning, and use in combination with a tripod.
Active mode, as its name suggests, is better suited to conditions involving
more movement, such as shooting from a moving vehicle or platform.

AF-S VR Nikkor 200mm f/2G IF-ED is compatible with all Nikon
teleconverters, including the newly announced AF-S Teleconverter TC-17E
II - the first teleconverter to offer 1.7x performance in a compact, lightweight
package.


Features:

Fast f/2.0 capability which effectively allows subjects to be given more
emphasis by throwing background elements out of focus.

Exclusive Silent Wave Motor enables ultra-high speed autofocusing with
exceptional accuracy and powerful super-quiet operation.

VR operation offers the equivalent of using a shutter speed 3 stops faster. In
addition, active vibration mode selection possible for use in active situations
such as a moving boat, car or plane.

New Super ED glass excels at eliminating secondary spectrum and correcting
chromatic aberration and offers low refractive index and lower dispersion.
Also Super ED Glass more resilient to rapid temperature changes.

M/A mode enables instant switching from autofocus to manual with virtually
no lag time even during AF servo operation.

VR performance with Automatic detection of panning.

VR On/Off mode available.

Internal Focusing (IF) design for smoother focusing.

Electronic Focus Preset Operation

Rounded diaphragm blades (9 blades) for natural blur.

High Performance Nikon Super Integrated Coating offers superior color
reproduction and minimizes ghost and flare.

New G design enables aperture selection from select 35mm AF SLR and
DSLR camera bodies and incorporates distance information for flash and
ambient light exposure processes.

Fully compatible with D1X, D2H, D100, D70, F5, F100, N80, N75.
