Featuring a constant fast f\/2.8 maximum aperture across the entire 70-200mm focal range, this iconic optic incorporates Nikon's Vibration Reduction (VR) image stabilization system, Silent Wave Motor (SWM) for quiet autofocus, and Extra-low Dispersion (ED) glass elements to minimize chromatic aberrations. Equipped with M\/A and M focus mode switching, a focus limiter control, distance scale window, and a metal Nikon F bayonet mount. Complete with front and rear lens caps.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eCondition\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOverall Condition: Very Good \/ User Grade\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCosmetically in well-used, honest condition with noticeable surface wear, paint rubs, and finish loss along the outer metal barrel, collar section, and switches. Rubber zoom and focus grip rings are intact and turn smoothly. Optics are clear with clean glass free from fungus or deep scratches; minor internal dust specks are present as typical for a telephoto zoom. Fully tested and functional: autofocus operates smoothly via SWM, Vibration Reduction (VR) engages properly, zoom mechanism moves freely through the full 70-200mm range, and diaphragm blades actuate crisply.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eIncluded\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNikon AF-S VR-Nikkor 70-200mm f\/2.8G ED Zoom Lens\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNikon Front Pinch Lens Cap\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNikon Rear Lens Mount Cap\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eConstant f\/2.8 fast maximum aperture ideal for low-light sports, portraits, and wildlife\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNikon Vibration Reduction (VR) technology for handheld stability at slow shutter speeds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSilent Wave Motor (SWM) delivering fast, silent, and accurate autofocus tracking\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExtra-low Dispersion (ED) glass elements reducing optical distortion and color fringing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInternal focusing (IF) and internal zoom design maintaining fixed lens dimensions\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFocus limiter switch (FULL \/ ∞–2.5m) to accelerate autofocus acquisition speeds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRugged metal Nikon F-mount construction compatible with FX, DX, and mirrorless Z cameras via FTZ\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eCollector's Notes\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe original VR Generation I 70-200mm f\/2.8G ED Nikkor remains an absolute workhorse legend in photojournalism and sports photography history.
