Photo Forum / Film Photography / 35 mm / November 2006FS: Nikon 70-200mm VR Lens (Toronto Area)
Mint Condition $1500 CDN - No Tax Henry's want $2050 + taxes for this lens I also have a like new TC-17E that I used with this camera. Located just North of Toronto - but can meet up downtown as well.

This is probably a joke, but just in case it isn't. I will say that no VR lens is good for racing....These things stabilize the image due to camera shake, but have no control whatsoever over the subject motion.....If you are photographing a sporting event, best to leave your VR lenses at home...... >>>>Is this an F4 or F2 Lens? >>> [quoted text clipped - 11 lines] > are photographing a sporting event, best to leave your VR lenses at > home...... Yes it was. The guy asked for the lens aperture. I was expecting f/2.8 to be the answer, but instead he received a list of camera body compatibility! Sorry, I felt like adding one more unrelated F. Thanks anyway William.

Do you think this would be a good time to simply turn VR off? I mean, since there is a switch on it. I leave my VR off most of the time anyway, so I think I might be able to use my VR lenses at the races. Rita >> This is probably a joke, but just in case it isn't.

Well, I don't think it will hurt anything....It's just that it might not help, although, if you pan horizontally while the cars are going by, the VR will help with vertical shake, so you should probably leave it on......I only object to ads like the one in the last KEH catalog I got, where they say the lens is good for three extra stops, and so you can use it for sporting events.....This implies that it will compensate for subject motion, and it won't do that....It will only compensate for camera shake. So, if you are accustomed to using shutter speed to stop motion of moving subjects, you will still have to do that, and not be suckered into thinking that those, "three extra stops" are going to do this for you. I didn't think that Nikon had a 70-200mm F/4 VR lens so I didn't bother with the aperture info. It's definitely a f/2.8 lens.
