Mar 20, 2019. #14. Consider the Tamron 70-200 G2. After debating over the Nikon 70-200 f/4 and 70-300 AF-P (FX) I decided to get the Tamron for the f/2.8 aperture and to save a little over the Nikon f/4. The Tamron is a great lens, on par with, or just slightly behind Nikon’s 70-200 FL, depending on the reviewer.
John Riley reviews the new Nikon AF-S NIKKOR 70-200mm f/2.8E FL ED VR telephoto zoom lens for full-frame and DX Nikon DSLRs. 300 f2.8, 400 f2.8, 500 f4, 600 f4, 800 f5.6 and 200-400 zoom which These are used to block strong light sources, such as the sun, from the lens to prevent glare and lens flare. Lens hood is reversible. Sigma 70-200 f/2.8 DG OS HSM | S. Sigma APO 70-200mm F2.8 EX DG OS HSM. The lens hood can screw onto the lens in reverse so that you can keep it on your camera at all times, ready to use.It's more flexible than the 180mm, faster than the F4 and insanely good at everything. Due to the focus breathing of the 70-200 VRII I still view the older VR1 version as the best "portrait zoom." The issues with the VRI and FX are WILDLY overstated and really of no significance for portraits and most everything else.
