About the Nikon AF-S Nikkor 70-200mm f/2.8G ED VR II
Capture crystal-clear closeups of distant subjects with this high-performance lens from Nikon. It's designed for premium optical performance with their SLR cameras, like the D750 or D7100. A large maximum aperture throughout the focal range means you'll be able to capture well-exposed photos, even when shooting in lower light with slower shutter speeds. Get great pictures of friends around a campfire or birds on a sunrise hike.
Superior clarity across the entire frame
High-quality Nikon optics ensure accurate, razor-sharp results. A multi-coating on the lens minimizes flare and ghosting. Your photos will be clear and detailed across the entire field of view — from one edge to the other — thanks to seven ED (Extra-Low Dispersion) glass elements.
Compensates for hand-held shooting
The lens has built-in vibration reduction so your photos will come out crisp in all different sorts of lighting conditions. Built-in motion sensors steer a special set of optical elements inside the lens, neatly compensating for camera movement and stabilizing the image. You get much sharper pictures — even in low-light conditions where slower shutter speeds and hand motion can easily cause blurred images with a regular lens.

Features
Overview: This item is an AF-S Nikkor 70-200mm, f/2.8G ED VR II, telephoto lens, optimized for edge-to-edge sharpness with the Nikon FX (23.9 x 36mm) image sensors. It is also compatible with camera bodies using the DX format (APS-C image sensors, 15.7mm x 23.7mm).
Construction: The seven Extra-low Dispersion (ED) glass elements ensure sharp pictures virtually free of color fringing.
Nano Crystal Coat: The Nano Crystal Coat deposited on some of the lens elements ensures that fine, clear images can be reproduced under various shooting conditions, from the sunny outdoors to spotlighted interior scenes.
Built-in CPU: The lens has a built-in CPU which allows it to communicate with the camera body for focus and exposure functions. A set of CPU contacts is located on the lens mount for interfacing with the camera body.
Auto Focus: Internal Focus (IF) provides fast and quiet autofocusing without changing the length of the lens, retaining subject-working distance through the focus range. Nikon's Silent Wave Motor (SWM) enables ultra-high-speed autofocusing with exceptional accuracy and super-quiet operation. The manual/auto focus mode switch allows quick response to situations requiring manual focus operation.
Zoom Control: The lens features a large, textured manual zoom ring for easy zooming control.
Vibration Reduction (VR II): Vibration reduction minimizes the effects of camera shake, allowing you to shoot handheld at as many as 4 shutter speed stops slower than would otherwise be possible, assuring dramatically sharper images. You can turn vibration reduction on or off with the switch on the side of the lens. VR has two modes; Normal and Active (designed for use with strong vibrations, such as taking pictures while in a moving vehicle).
Aperture: Because there is no aperture ring on this lens, the aperture must be set on the camera.
Diaphragm: The lens is equipped with a fully-automatic, 9-blade diaphragm that produces a nearly circular aperture. Out-of-focus images in front of or behind the subject are rendered as pleasing blurs.
Tripod Collar: The tripod collar is detachable; it can be removed when not needed.
Focus Range Limit: If your subject is always more than 16 feet 5 inches away, the focus limit switch allows you to fix the focus range at 5m-infinity to reduce focusing time (available in autofocus mode only).

This lens is a worthwhile investment if you want to take successful action photography in low light situations where a flash is not allowed. I purchased open box and great Crutchfield customer service and warranty. I have the lens mounted on a Nikon D7000.
