In fact, if you look at Photozone's testing of the 80-400 VR compared to the 70-200 f2.8 VRI (not VRII) + 2x TCII (not TCIII), and you will see that the 70-200 + TC combo stands up very well to the 80-400. However, the 70-200 f2.8 VRII + 2x TCIII is a better combo and the results would be better again than the 80-400. Nikon Z 70-200mm f/2.8 VR S Review. By Nasim Mansurov 60 Comments ISO 64, 1/15, f/5.6 NIKON Z 7 II + NIKKOR Z 70-200mm f/2.8 VR S @ 70mm, ISO 64, 1/5, Just posted! Our new lens review of Nikon's top-end fast telezoom, the AF-S VR-Nikkor 70-200mm F2.8G ED-IF. This is the first in a series of reviews in which we'll be comparing it with similar lenses from Canon, Sigma and Tamron, using both APS-C and 35mm full frame cameras. The weight of 1,245g is 195g less than the NIKKOR Z 70-200 f2.8 S VR. Even the renowned featherweight Nikon 500mm f/5.6E PF ED VR is 215g heavier! If we mount the TC-1.4x Z teleconverter on the 400mm f/4.5, the weight is identical to the 500mm f/5.6 PF (okay, 5 grams / 0.01 pound heaver), and the lens is now a 560mm f/6.3. Except for the Tamron 70-200mm, all other lenses have image stabilization / vibration reduction technology. The new Nikon 70-200mm f/4G VR offers the best stabilization technology with up to 5 stops of advantage (on paper, read about my VR experience further down in the review), while both Nikon 70-200mm f/2.8 and Sigma 70-200 f/2.8 are at 4 stops. Nikon Nikkor Z 70-200mm f/2.8 VR S Performance. Looking first at sharpness, there are very few lenses that reach this standard and so consistently as well. At 70mm, the centre is outstanding from I was in the same boat after I moved to the Z system earlier this year. I used the F-mount 70-200mm E FL on a Z7 for a couple of assignments before lockdown hit, and found image quality, AF and VR to be just as good as it had been on my D850 (not surprisingly). However, I did find the handling a bit awkward.
