Just got this new lens today (nikon 70-200mm 2.8 VRII) and tested it out. I took this picture at full zoom 200mm, F/8 ,1/125s ISO 100.
I did some tone mapping on the photo but used the original exposure for his skin. I was a good distance from this guy and cropped in to remove all the other cars. This is what got. I was amazed how sharp it still was cropped in. Also the lens has nano coating and it seemed to help with some ghosting and flare.
It was a toss up between this lens and the nikon 14-24. Since I had a wide lens and in need of a zoom lens I chose to go this route. I sure hope I get use out of it as I here many people don't end up using it as much.
anyways here is the photo.
