Nikon AF-S NIKKOR 70-200mm f/2.8E FL ED VR – Refurbished

Refurbished by Nikon UK

The Nikon AF-S NIKKOR 70-200mm f/2.8E FL ED VR is one of Nikon’s most acclaimed professional telephoto zoom lenses—renowned for its speed, sharpness, and reliability. This refurbished version delivers the same exceptional performance at outstanding value, making it an essential choice for sports, wildlife, portrait, event and action photographers who demand nothing less than excellence.

Engineered to perform flawlessly in demanding environments, the 70-200mm f/2.8E features cutting-edge optics, advanced stabilisation, and a fast, constant aperture—all housed in a robust, well-balanced design optimised for modern DSLRs.

Outstanding Optical Performance

This lens incorporates a sophisticated optical construction of 22 elements in 18 groups, including:

• 6 ED (Extra-Low Dispersion) elements to minimise chromatic aberrations

• 1 Fluorite element for reduced weight and improved optical precision

• 1 HRI (High Refractive Index) element for superior edge-to-edge sharpness

• Nano Crystal Coat to reduce flare and ghosting

• Fluorine-coated elements for easier cleaning and protection from dust, dirt and moisture

The result is exceptional clarity, contrast, and colour accuracy across the entire zoom range.

Fast f/2.8 Constant Aperture

The bright f/2.8 aperture provides excellent low-light performance and beautiful background separation. Nikon’s electromagnetic aperture control ensures precise, consistent exposures during bursts—ideal for high-speed sports and action photography.

Powerful Vibration Reduction (VR)

Nikon’s advanced VR system offers up to 4 stops of stabilisation (CIPA, Normal mode), enabling sharper handheld images in low light or at longer focal lengths.

Three VR modes give you full control:

• NORMAL – General handheld shooting

• SPORT – For fast action and panning

• VR OFF – When stabilisation is not needed

The lens also automatically detects tripod use.

Fast, Accurate Autofocus

The Silent Wave Motor (SWM) delivers quick, accurate and nearly silent autofocus—perfect for fast action and video work. A focus limit switch lets you speed up focusing by restricting the range when needed.

Minimum focus distance: 1.1m / 3.6 ft
Maximum reproduction ratio: 0.21×

• Durable magnesium alloy barrel
