I can easily offer numerous links in support of my argument, many of which are from actual professional photographers, not nerdy, pixel peeping website editors. What lens is at it's best at it's most extreme setting? Dear Admin,

I followed the links that you supplied in support of your argument that the original 70-200 is a flawed and disappointing lens. I can easily offer numerous links in support of my argument, many of which are from actual professional photographers, not nerdy, pixel peeping website editors.

What lens is at it’s best at it’s most extreme setting?

However as an owner of the 70-200 I do know that it's simply a flawed lens, which is exactly why it's been replaced. I'm not saying it's awful - far from it - but performance in some situations simply isn't up to par for a lens of this price. I'm not the <a href="http://diglloyd.com/diglloyd/free/Nikon70-200VR/index.html" rel="nofollow">only one</a> to <a href="http://www.dpreview.com/lensreviews/nikon_70-200_2p8_vr_n15/page7.asp" rel="nofollow">think so</a>.

I’m not the only one to think so.

This lens is widely considered to be one of the finest pieces of glass ever attached to a camera body. While the newer VRII is very likely a better lens, any suggestion that the previous version is anything but stellar is simply ridiculous. Many of the most iconic photographs of the the 21st century have been shot through one of these "disappointing" lenses.

Bruce Sun, 15 Feb 2009 00:31:02 +0000 http://www.nikonhq.com/?p=1#comment-3 2/14/09 I purchased a Nikon Coolpix S710 for my son on 11/12/08, which is the first Nikon purchase I ever made and will never buy another Nikon camera. I purchased the camera from a Navy Exchange for $349.99 and their return policy is 14 days for cameras. About a month after purchase my son started getting periodic lens errors that became more frequent and so frustrating that he seldom used the camera. Now, 3-months after purchase, everytime he turns on the camera it flashes "Lens Error" and is useless. I have found other complaints about this camera and other Nikon digital cameras having Lens errors, with little to no help from Nikon. What will Nikon do for me to resolve this problem? I bought the camera in good faith and thought I was buying a quality product. E. B. 2/14/09
