I truly couldn’t believe what I was holding when the Nikon Z 70-200mm f2.8 S VR II was put in my hands. But hear me when I say this: that lens is the lightest zoom of its kind that I’ve held in years. And it’s not only that: it delivers beautiful image quality — especially when you combine it with the Nikon Picture Controls. Plus, it focuses really closely, boasts weather resistance, has a new arca swiss mount tripod mount, and incorporates some of Nikon’s latest imaging tech. One question, however, was really on my mind: how do you make the original that much better?
