Nikon 70-200mm f/2.8 VRII Arrived

Finally after a long search, I have found the new Nikon 70-200mm f/.8 VRII. It first came out on the 27th Nov,2009. It is a bit shorter but fatter when compared with the original 70-200mm.

I did a photoshoot with the 70-200mm VRII yesterday (more on this in a few days) and my impression so far:

• 
  
  I didnt notice much of the weight difference, in fact the shorter length makes it easier to maneuver and provides a better balance with the body.
  
  
  
• 
  
  AF seems fast and accurate.
  
  
  
• 
  
  the lens is sharp. More on this in a few days with some test shots
  
  
  
• 
  
  big difference with VRII,  it stablises faster,  less wearing on my arms. Also noticed less camera shake images.
  
  
  
• 
  
  the zoom ring is a bit wider, providing a better grip
