For many, the 200 VR is one of the dream lenses, and in our review it certainly showed why. The lens delivers outstanding sharpness throughout the whole aperture range, is basically free of aberrations and distortions and has extremely pleasing bokeh. It could handle backlight a little better, however the newer version II model of the lens has the potential to handle these conditions better due to Nano Crystal Coat. The build quality is excellent, AF is extremely fast and the VR unit works as promised. Nonetheless, in summary, for anyone able to afford and willing to carry it the verdict can only be: highly recommended!

This updated 200mm f/2 is a superb lens without a doubt. It produces images with excellent contrast, sharpness, low distortion and minimal levels of chromatic fringing. Whether dropping nearly £5000 on this lens is good value will be up to you, and what you intend to do with it. If you often find yourself using this focal length in the dark, or need faster shutter speeds in less than ideal lighting, such as for indoor sports, then having this lens in your armoury will most certainly pay dividends. It's a specialist lens, which comes at a specialist price. The refinements made in this model are welcome. The new VR system works incredibly well and the new focus priority modes are handy too.
