Cons: Slight CAs at long focal lenghts.
Pros: Optical performance except CAs at long focal lengths. VR performance. AF performance. Build Q.
Summary: Great for upper-amateurs. Pro's spend 3,5 as much for a 200mm prime having twice the light performance.

Cons: The lens design suffers more from what is a small effect on most other zooms, namely the reduction in focal length for closer subjects. The 200mm becomes about 140mm at 10ft. This is not a problem for me, as I shoot motorsports at a longer range, but street, portrait, or wedding photographers might not like this. Pricey. (The 'flaking' problem reported by others is not present on my example.)
Pros: Fast focus, edge-to-edge sharp, very good contrast, no vignetting on a FX, best VR operation yet. This is a step up on the previous 70-200, which was an exceptional lens on a DX crop camera, but now it has been designed for FX to eliminate the slight vignetting seen on a FX with a VR1 The 'nano coating' works well to give better contrast than the VR1. More sharpness at the edges than the VR1 too. Same solid build.
Summary: A super lens so far for me. Better than all the other telephoto zooms that I have owned. Sharp, quick and correctly focused, with bright coours. A lens I will keep for a long time and use regularly. So, even the initially high price will not matter.
