I’d also like to use a teleconverter on this lens. I know the newer version of the lens, the Nikkor 80-200mm F/2.8 ED doesn’t work with the Nikon teleconverters but supposedly works with the Kenko teleconverters. An older version of the lens, the Nikkor 80-200 mm F/2.8D IF-ED works with all but one Nikon teleconverter. Nikon AF-S Nikkor 70-200 F2.8E FL ED VR : 157,8 Sigma APO 70-200mm F2.8 EX DG OS HSM : 138,3 Canon EF 70-200mm f/2.8L IS II USM : 172,1 Sigma 70-200mm F2.8 EX DG APO Sony Alpha : 183,1 Sony 70-200mm f/2.8 G SSM II Lens : 172.1. So the new 70-200 is better than the old one and it focusses 300mm closer too. I'm GIVING AWAY A CAMERA VALUED UP TO $4,999!!!

I recently purchased the older Nikon 70-200mm VR f2.8 lens second hand on eBay. It is well used but was described to be in good working condition which it appears to be. I am an amateur equine photographer and tested it out today and I am extremely disappointed with the results. The Nikon TC-20E III was specifically designed to pair well with lenses like Nikon 300mm f/2.8G. I had a very pleasant experience with the TC-20E III both in terms of sharpness and AF speed on the 300mm f/2.8G VR II. I was able to photograph birds in flight with this combo and images were sharp enough wide open and very sharp at f/8. The Sigma 70-200mm f2.8 EX DG APO Macro HSM II is not very expensive, but… When first released in December 2007, this lens was presented as a compromise in terms of price, especially when pitted against such competitors as the Canon 70-200 mm f2.8 L USM (1995) and the Nikon AF-S VR Zoom-Nikkor 70-200mm f/2.8G IF-ED (2002). 9.8/10 average of 8 review(s) f4 fast af but not world fastest (but still faster than 70-200 vr II) it consistently beats my Nikon 70-200 f2.8 VR. I shoot digital, so this lens is the Sigma 70-200/2.8 OS with APS-C extender mounted (front/bottom) vs. Nikon 70-200/2.8G VR II (back/top) Alternatives – Nikon’s AF-S VR 70-200mm 2.8G ED VR II is the instrument of the pros with a sturdy built and a price to match: currently around 1800 EUR. The Nikon 70-200mm f/2.8G VR II is excellent in that regard – it yields extremely sharp images wide open at f/2.8 and if I stop it down, I only do it to increase depth of field. When Nikon announced the 70-200mm f/4G, the first thing I did was look at the provided MTF charts. Xm3i.
