Nikkor Z 70-200mm f/2.8 VR S: Autofocus. The lens autofocuses in a spritely manner in good light and signs of it hunting for focus were only observed when it was used in an extremely dim indoor setting. Nikon Z5, Nikkor Z 70-200mm f/2.8 VR S, 1/500sec at f/2.8, ISO 100. I assigned the L-Fn2 button to perform AF-ON for a majority of my testing
The Nikon 120-300mm f/2.8E AF-S FL ED SR VR is a lens with no weaknesses that boasts outstandingly consistent sharpness across its focal and aperture ranges. A near perfect performer, the only question is whether sports photographers will want to add this to their trusty 70-200mm and 300mm combo. If they do, they will be wowed a midrange marvel Left to right: Nikkor 14-24mm f/2.8, 70-200mm f/2.8 VR, 24-70mm f/2.8 . Strobist: SB-800 camera right and behind. SB-800 camera left and behind. SB-800 on floor aimed at wall, gelled red . 2 CTO'd LED flashlights aimed at the 14-24 and 24-70 to bring out the gold lettering (having an extra SB-800 for fill would've been nicer).
This 70-200 FL is a huge improvement over the old 70-200/2.8 VR II from 2009 because it weighs less and focuses much closer. While the rated close-focus distances aren't that much different, older 70-200s cheated and didn't really go to 200mm at close distances. This new FL lens really is 200mm at close distances.

Below are our sharpness measurements at 24mm, 35mm, 50mm, and 70mm. The next page of this review compares these numbers to the Nikon 24-70mm f/2.8 VR and 24-120mm f/4 F-mount lenses, but I’ll mention first that these are very impressive numbers, among the best we have seen so far on wide to normal range zoom lenses.
