Its been quite the busy week and I have been unable to write my intended article on Nikon’s great new 70-200mm lens, the AF-S Nikkor 70-200mm 1:4G ED, for use in macro and semi-macro photography. What I am able to do is post this pseudo-preview. The lens boosts top-end optical performance, record-breaking vibration reduction and small minimum focus distance. Here follow two samples taken with the lens on a Nikon D800, though only one of these fall into macro classification.
