This review of the new Nikon AF-S Nikkor 70-200mm f/2.8E FL ED VR lens ($2,796.95) is by Bojan Stepančič (website: foto-info.si):
Nikon AF-S 70-200mm f2.8E FL ED VR is the newest tele-zoom lens by Nikon. After seven years, Nikon concluded that it is time to renovate the very popular lens, Nikon AF-S 70-200mm f2.8G ED VRII. The resolution of sensors that are built into DSLR cameras increased significantly and with it came the need for newer, sharper lenses. The new Nikon AF-S 70-200mm f2.8E FL ED VR lens has been thoroughly renewed, which was visible in positive results on this test. I made most of the test photos with both lenses, Nikon AF-S 70-200mm f2.8E FL ED VR and Nikon AF-S 70-200mm f2.8G ED VRII and compared the results.
