 A must have lens for Wedding and Portrait Photography August 31, 2010
JW
I don't know how we ever did without this lens. It has been on our list to purchase for the last year but it was a big investment for a business that is just getting started. From the minute it went on the camera we loved the sharpness of the subject and the softening of the background. Anyone who shoots portraits or weddings will always have it close at hand. The only complaint is that it is heavy so start those arm exeercises now.

It's everything as advertised. Got to use it a few times and lately at a wedding. Great image quality and fast.
One of the best lenses available for the Nikon platform August 25, 2010

I stepped up from the Sigma 70-200 2.8 HSM II and the difference is HUGE, although the Sigma is a respectable lens I think it was well worth the extra money to pick this up.
This lens is sharp from f 2.8 up, the autofocus is extremely fast and tack on every time, and the VR II is simply incredible; it can easily buy you 3 stops back. The only downside to this lens is the cost but you do get what you pay for, once you shoot this there is no doubt in your mind that this is a professional lens.
A fantastic but heavy lens August 15, 2010

I wonder whether there is anything about this lens that has not been said before.
I jumped into the bandwagon a couple of weeks ago and got one myself. I used it over the last two weekends in some parks.
Majority of the people have very positive experience with this lens, and a handful of the people, not so.
I belong to the majority group, and have very positive experience with this lens. This lens is that good. It is extremely sharp, it is fast, and capable of producing some of the most beautiful images I have ever seen. It also works well with teleconverter. I have a Kenko 1.4x. The combo gives me a 280mm focal length (420mm in a DX) and I lost only 1 stop of light. I have posted two images, one with the use of a TC, one without.
I bought this lens in a store. I didn't bring my own camera that day as I didn't expect to buy a lens. I went there to get other items, and saw the store owner took one out for display. Out of curiosity, I check that out. The owner of the store has a D3, and he lets me played with the lens. I was so impressed, and on the spot, I just have to have it.
I want to share a bit of experience on the portability of this lens. People talk quite a bit about the weight of this lens, which is about 1.5kg (3.3 Ibs). So, I know it is heavy, but I didn't realise that it is THAT heavy until I hold it in my hands.
Some people talk about not wanting to walk around with this lens due to the weight (it will give you a sore neck or tired arms). I have different type of problem: when attached to my camera, which is a D300S, I have a feeling that the sheer weight of this lens might rip the aluminium mount off my camera, if I don't hold it.
Hence, I have difficulty in setting my camera (EV, WB, aperture size, from A-priority to S-priority, frame speed, etc.) without resting my camera/lens on a solid platform (e.g., my wife's shoulder, or a monopod/tripod), as I need to free up the hand that hold the lens to hold down certain buttons in order to access those functions. May be I just need to learn how to hold a camera attached with lens of this size.
On a separate issue, the "breather", I don't think it is going to bother people too much if they don't own a previous version of this lens (the VR I) and compare them side-by-side. I don't have the previous version of this lens.
IQ is more important to me than the weight and so breather issue, and I am glad that I decided to get this lens - it is the best I owned to date. For people who plan to get one, I suggest you go to a store and hold it yourself/mount it to the camera that you own. If weight (and assuming the price too) is not an issue, you should definitely consider getting yourself one.

When I purchased this lens, a friend assured me it would be my "walk-around lens." That is true. I admittedly have a problem with camera shake so I am thrilled to be able to use this lens successfully in many situations. The photos are beautiful in detail and i am pleased to have purchased this lens.
