Nikon AF-S NIKKOR 70-200mm f/2.8E FL ED VR, a next-generation fast zoom lens compatible with Nikon FX-format digital SLR cameras that offers a consistently fast maximum aperture of f/2.8 throughout its entire zoom range. The AF-S NIKKOR 70-200mm f/2.8E FL ED VR is approximately 3.85 oz lighter than the current AF-S NIKKOR 70-200mm f/2.8G ED VR II, contributing to the photographer's ability to remain focused on shooting, even for long periods of time. The lens structure provides weather-resistant performance with anti-dust and waterdrop-resistant capabilities. Furthermore, Nikon's exclusive fluorine coat applied to the extreme front surface achieves high performance and peel-resistant properties. The weather-resistant performance combined with the reduced weight makes this lens highly agile equipment that supports shooting in diverse environments. The AF-S NIKKOR 70-200mm f/2.8E FL ED VR supports even better resolution throughout the entire zoom range than the AF-S NIKKOR 70-200mm f/2.8G ED VR II, which is well-known for its superior resolution, and it consistently maintains that resolution all the way to the edges of the frame. Adoption of one fluorite, one High Refractive Index (HRI) lens, and six ED glass elements provides effective compensation for a variety of aberration. This, in conjunction with ghost- and flare-reducing Nano Crystal Coat, ensures the ultimate in rendering characteristics. In addition to the superior optical performance
