p.1 #1 · p.1 #1 · Any chance of a new nikon 70-200 f2.8 VrX?


I'm ordering a nikon 70-200 f2.8 VrII and I just want to verify what's the general feeling about the possible upgrade of this lens. I know nikon realised a new Vr system (in the 70-200 f4 version), so my question is what do you think, will it be soon integrated in the f2.8 version? I understand this is only a pure speculation but where there's smoke there's fire … well at some point …

Thanks in advance

Don't foresee an 'upgrade' anytime soon...it'd be really tough to improve on.

I really hope they don't. Price tag would be like $3000+

Thanks for responding so fast …

I've tried to find some more forums discussing this meter (found only one on dp) and basically the conclusion goes in the same direction as yours.

I've just purchased the lens , it'll arrive probably next week … looking forward using it.

Enjoy, the 70-200 is always a fantastic workhorse.

Yeah it's already one of the best of the best from any mfr. Hopefully they're putting development efforts elsewhere - like a serious DX body or maybe the Df so many of us were looking for!

Would like to see a 24-70 2.8 VR perhaps?

Not likely ... give it another 4 to 5 years ... but it certainly is a focal length range they update more often than others.
