Received the lens in a reasonable amount of time. The lens itself is great, but my images contained about 30 either dust or oil spots that made it too impractical to keep. Had to send it back for a refund. Very disappointed.

I had been lusting after a 70-200 f/2.8 AF-S VR for a while, and stumbled upon a nice used example of this lens at my local camera store. The price was right, so I snapped it up and have never looked back - the AF-S VR is no longer on my wish list.
This lens is great,, it is fast and sharp,, I loved the push and pull zoom,, although the lens is old,, but it was a new experience for me and loved it,, I can zoom in or out fast than a rotating ring,,, its only problems are it's weight and it does not have a tripod mount collar,,, otherwise it is
This is a great lens. Sure it is heavy, but that is why I bought a monopod. Great results! I take it with me when I go on walks along the river. I use it at weddings to get "the shot" without being seen. I have used it my son's basketball games and will use it during baseball this summer.
Consistent Output; Durable; Easily Interchangeable; Rugged; Strong Construction
Heavy
I just recently purchased this lens and got the slides back today. A very impressive telephoto zoom with very sharp contrasty results. I was actually trying to win a AFS-80-200MM F2.8 on Ebay recently but lost out. Decided to buy this one new. I don't regret doing so.
ED glass; Sharpness
A bit heavy but not bad
This is the s***! I've had a Canon EF 80-200/2.8L and a Sigma EX 70-200/2.8 HSM previous to this lens and it kicks the other lenses butts. Hard. It's sharp, it's fast and it's built like a Abrams M1 tank. What more could you ask for The A/M-ring is made of plastic and is easy to break.
Sharp; fast; color rendering (is that the correct expression
Plastic A/M-ring
I purchased this lens a few months ago for my D7000. It is everything that I had hoped for and more. The lens is crisp at any aperature and focal length. The focus speed on the D7000 is fast and tracks well on moving objects.
Quality
Will not autofocus on D3000; D3100; D5000 and D5100
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend
Consistent Output; Durable; Easily Interchangeable; Fast / accurate auto-focus
Heavy
As mentioned by others, little heavy, but definitely built to last! Well mostly; anyway, known problem with the af ring splitting (which was broken on the 2nd hand one i got upon arrival) but i made a repair for now, it working fine for time being...
I love this lens. I have been used an older Nikkor 80-200 F2.8 (push-pull) since many years ago. Nikon continued bringing top quality products. This lens is a good companion to my D7000.
