Nikon 7. 0- 3. 00mm VR vs 5. VR – One Mans Anthology. So I thought I would take a moment to compare and contrast these two long telephoto lenses from Nikon. They both have a very similar range of focal length. They are also both very sharp lenses. That might be where the similarities end though. The 5. 5- 3. 00 VR is a DX lens and as such is much smaller and lighter which can certainly be a plus if you are carrying it around all day. I am guessing that low light will also favor the A7Rii due to the small loss of light of the A99. In any case, it took Sony themselves to bring out a camera to.The DX lens is also as such cheaper both in build quality and cost. I believe its currently running around 4. US dollars new. The main drawback I see with this lens is that Autofocus is insanely slow. I do not feel like I am exaggerating either. The manual focus ring on this lens is in the front of the lens which means it’s location moves as you zoom. If you are going to try and take pictures of anything that moves a lot you might as well give it up. If on the other hand you want a cheap lens that will give you a narrow depth of field at 3. Now on to the 7. 0- 3. VR which is an FX lens and will work on full frame and crop sensor DSLR’s. This is a much bigger and more well built lens than the 5. I believe the 7. 0- 3.

The 28-70 f:2.6 AF was Angenieux’s last consumer oriented zoom, that was targeted towards the pro market. The lens was just as good optically as any other pro zoom. ![]()

The preferred “workhorse” among many professional photographers since 2003, Nikon’s AF-S 70-200mm f/2.8G ED VR model was also my favorite lens in the Nikkor. Manual focus is also far superior on this lens also. This lens is hefty but not too bad to carry around all day. When it comes to bokeh I like this lens much better than the DX lens. I recently took it out for the day and threw a 3. I did not feel I needed anything else. Nikkor 5. 5- 3. 00 VR vs 7. VRNikon D7. 00. 0’s with the 7. VR and the 5. 0- 3. VRAnd yes I happen to really like the Nikon D7. They have been great workhorses for me. The view from behind. Here is a picture I recently took with this lens on my Nikon D7. This was a shot taken at the world bird sanctuary. I was at 3. 00mm and f. I realizes that most of the newer camera’s have a lot more mega pixels that my D7. I think 1. 6 megapixels is plenty to work with in most situations. I always say megapixels don’t matter. In some cases you get what you pay for and this is one of those cases. So yes it’s worth the extra $$’s to buy the 7. VR. Edited to add another take on this debate. That is, my beef is not with the sharpness or clarity of the image the 5. Its with the mechanics of how the lens functions. So in those terms the 7. Not in the actual image resulting from using the lens in ideal conditions. Thus I am not saying you cannot produce good images with the 5. I am just saying that a lot of time “moments are fleeting” and I don’t want to miss them because my lens is searching for focus.
