I haven’t tried the ver II of the Nikon 200mm f2 at all, so can’t really comment about the comparison.

If you have the cash spare, then by all means get the version II of the Nikon 200mm f2 VR, but I can’t see anyone being unhappy with the first version. It is razor sharp.

Hi Neil

First of all thanks for all the tips and tec answers you give up here, you’ve helped me become a better photographer!
I would like to ask you if you have tryed the new version of this lens out, and if you have, is the difference like on the old/new 85mm f1.4?
I have one of the “old” versions at hand and would like to buy, but if the new version is worth the extra bucks, i will drop them.

Thanks

Sune.

David .. she is looking over to that side simply because I directed her to open her body and her gaze towards the light from the billboards.

As such, for variety, I should’ve mixed it up a little and shot from different directions, so she doesn’t constantly look into the one direction only. My mistake. Or .. I should’ve posted fewer images. ; )

Neil,

Thanks for the reminder of what I’ll never own as I have the fatal photographic problem of all…..a wife. Saving wouldn’t be an option, as more important things will be bought. I am interested though, what was happening up and over to the right that evening in Times Square? Would love to see some eye contact to really make these shots zing.

Neil,

Killer shots with this 200 f2. I have the Canon equivalent and I am interest to see how it compares. I even might hook up our Nikon to Canon adapter and try them both out on a 1D Mark 4. I am wondering if Nikon will update the 200 f2 to VR II as they did with the 300 f2.8.

Anyway, thanks for sharing the information on the setup. Good information to have!

Mahalo,
Josh

The Canon 135f/2.0L is a similarly impressive lens.

Neil, can you do me a favor? Please, stop posting pictures made with this lens, my desire for this lens is increasing with pics like these and I don’t have the budget to buy one :-) No, just kidding :-) The results are amazing! I’m really impressed!

Hi Neil

Brilliant work – you really are taking advantage of the new high signal to noise technology to achieve something new.

One of the many things I love about these shots is how the colors vary across her skin – reflecting the many different sources. It is how we actually see someone at night in a lit up city.

PS – I am a huge fan of your site. It is the most informative on the net.
