I'm really happy with the lens, as per other reviews the build quality is supreme. Everything about it speaks quality, and the images are fantastic. Only downside is it's too big to fit in my old camera bag!

The copy I bought was disappointing to say the least and after independent testing found it was faulty I sent it back. But it got me thinking, do I really want this size and bulk, and are these lenses really that good as to justify the inconvenience? So I hired one this time (a good copy) along with the f 4 version to compare them side by side. Result? The f 2.8 worked as it should but frankly I found the f 4 a better lens for what mattered to me. f 4: cheaper, lighter, smaller, better and quieter VR, fast and accurate auto focusing on my d750, well built, works very well with the TC17E 2 teleconverter. (on a d750 that is), and slightly sharper if you're pixel peeping at 200%. f 2.8: one stop advantage in low light, very marginally better bokeh, built like a tank which made it feel dated, and that's it. So, since the d750 is so fantastic at high ISO's I bought the 70-200mm f4 VR G ED AF-S Lens instead and am delighted with it.Read full review

Nothing comes close at this focal length.Forget Sigma, even better than the Canon equivalent. Super fast AF, pin sharp images, what more could you ask of a lens. Great price on the used market.

Easily the best lens i have ever used. It sure is a heavy glass, but the picture quality in any light is superb. One of the 'holy trinity' of professional lenses, essential for sports, action or concert photography. Just superb!

Awesome lens! It's pretty heavy, but reassuringly so - you get the feeling that if you dropped it onto concrete by accident, the concrete would break, not the lens. The focussing is quick and accurate, whilst the maximum aperture of f2.8 certainly makes it a "fast" lens (certainly as opposed to something starting at f4.5 anyway) The pricetag means this lens isn't for everybody, but for the pro, and people wanting an amazing lens to take top quality photos, I couldn't recommend this enough.
The lens is far superior than any lens I’ve had before. Clarity is superb and the speed of focussing is great. The actual condition is not as good as I expected. The lens body has been touched up and is quite worn and the mounting plate is badly worn. I would have bought a new lens if I had foreseen the condition. However the photographs I am taking with this lens are far better than with my other lenses.

Excellent lens fast sharp but heavy. It is weighty I have to say but it has great picture results

It is big and heavy but oh so beautifully made, it is pure quality and a beast of a lens. Sharp as it can get, fast and really well made.
