A fast, telephoto 200 mm fixed focal length lens with a maximum aperture of f/2

Adoption of the 200mm fixed focal length and maximum aperture of f/2 make this lens perfectly suited to capture of rapidly moving subjects in dimly lit situations such as indoor sporting or theater events. When Nikon AF-S teleconverters (three available) such as the AF-S Teleconverter TC-20E III are used, a variety of focal lengths are possible without sacrificing the superior optical performance of the lens.

Built-in vibration reduction (VR II) offering camera shake compensation equivalent to a shutter speed increase of approximately four steps

Nikon’s latest vibration reduction function, VR II, has been adopted to make the most of telephoto shooting. Equipped with two VR modes, Normal and Active, the vibration reduction function responds to a variety of shooting scenes.
