Nikon Nikkor 70-200mm f/2.8G ED-IF AF-S VR Lens

Nikons new 70-200mm zoom lens features an innovative Vibration Reduction (VR) system that allows handheld telephoto zoom shooting even in poorly lit conditions. The VR system minimizes image blur caused by camera shake, and offers the equivalent of shooting at a shutter speed 3 stops (8 times) faster. The lens offers a natural viewfinder image even during VR operation and also detects automatically when the photographer pans. It is ideal for candid, portrait, sports photography and more.

Cons: High Cost. No aperture ring.
