With the announcement of the new Nikon D300s and D3000, Nikon also introduced an improved version of their hot seller 70-200 AF-S F/2.8. The promise is better corner rendition on FX format cameras, better low light capabilities and superb image quality thanks to its 7 special ED glass elements and NANO coatings technology which will reduce image ghosting and flare. Nikon also promises better rendition at wider appertures.
Last but not least, a new version of the popular 18-200VR has been revised as well. This lens corrects the famous ”zoom creep” that annoyed so many adopters of the first 18-200 zoom lens version.
