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.
