Dpreview.com has reviewed the popular Nikon lens AF-S VR Zoom Nikkor 70-200mm f/2.8G ED-IF both for DX (APS-C) and FX (35mm full-frame) Nikon DSLR camera bodies.

Dpreview ends up giving the Nikon lens a “Highly Recommended” rating for the DX-format as the lens produces excellent images on this format. The Nikkor 70-200mm also got a very good image stabilzation and superb build quality.
For the FX-format the lens get a bit lower score with a “Recommended” rating as this lens is really constructed with the smaller DX-format in mind. Pictures made with the Nikkor 70-200mm on a FX-camera (D3) has soft corners and some vignetting. This might not be a problem for many photographers, but to some it’s a big con.
Overall the Nikon AF-S VR Zoom Nikkor 70-200mm f/2.8G ED-IF seems like an excellent lens.
