Pros: What has not been said about this lens? It looks pretty cute? Solid feel, Strong in my hands (you will not crush this with your hands), produces good enough (kidding there) insanely great photos, this Professional Grade lens - when handled correctly will produce photos that are sharper and clearer (insert more adjectives for that). Right off the box, after you open the box, you would already feel the Aura that this Jewel has- one touch and you know that it is not your give-away kit lens. Love the f/2.8 - as I recently understood how to use it and how to use it for the good of photography. The price is not a con, even though it really hurts my pocket to say it - the price is actually a plus - this way only the Professional, only the Serious and only those that can save money - are the only ones to purchase such a glass of this caliber, thus giving it the respect that it deserves. I would love it if more people get to use this glass, but sometimes, people are just not ready to use this yet. There is a learning curve, and I may say I have not gone through the whole of it yet. Even in that state of knowledge and lack thereof, this lens focuses faster than any lens I have and gives me that buttery-creamy Bokeh, that never ceases to give me and my clients the chills. The lens has some weight on it, must be all that metal thing that is found around the glass and stuff, this means your lens is very well protected from the elements, it is made from ... which country again... doesn't matter, what matters is by the feel of it, this is a serious gear, not a flimsy flamsy - I do not know why people consider this as a con? Truly - you are here because you are possibly looking for a way to produce the best possible imagery with no less than the best possible camera gear (the funds will allow). Of course the best photos need the best sacrifice sometimes, and that is what it is. Many "photographers" and "enthusiasts" out there and here in Amazon, want the best but are not willing to shell out the big bucks nor the physical sacrifice for high quality imagery that they seek, and that my friends is quite sad. Photography is not about convenience - it is about (insert what photography means for you)... Of course talent plays a part as well, do not forget however that we have the technology now, we have the good technology and we have the not so good, what you are looking at today is the best technology and it is at the tip of your fingers, come and get it!

Cons: huh? (other reviewers say price, weight, and some abnormal aberrations) - I do not believe that those are too bad. (read the Pro statements above) - the negatives that people talk about is actually about themselves. Lens too heavy? go work out! lens too pricey, save up for it! some kind of a technical mumby jumby i dont understand non- normal word usage jargon - i refer you to 1-800-Geek squad, and you can talk to them who has a what and a what. Thing is, there is a con for everything - it is up to YOU my online reader to figure a way around it. Do no be a stick in the mud (Stuck and will not budge). You are better than that my online reviewer... so go on and read some more.
Reviewer: Josh - I am an amateur photographer - I work full time as something that does boring things, I do however - shoot business portfolios, engagements sessions and wedding days - Yes, am getting paid to do it as well. I would not call myself a Professional as I am not being paid as much as my boring job. Obviously, I shoot with Nikon DSLRs - (D80, D2Xs & D7000), thinking maybe time to move to Full (FX) cameras huh? I appreciate testing new products (rental or actually buying to own). Oh yeah, I do not work with NIKON or any of its affiliates ever in the past or present (I wish however that they send me the newest stuff to try out). If anyone can get me in touch with their group, pls leave a comment. Thank you in advance.
I have actually gotten the chance (prior to my purchase of this lens from Amazon), to rent this lens from a popular camera gear rental online company - I used it for a few days and I liked it, it is a solid work horse that looks good and feels good to use. After a few days, I used this for a Wedding Gig and I was very impressed by how fast I was able to work with it, wondering what I was using and thinking on the prior weddings that I shot. The reception was at a penthouse of this hotel and as the sun went down, there goes our natural light - we had to depend on the speed of the lens and technical know-how. This baby delivers! ( the 70-200mm f/2.8 was attached to a D7000 and I had another D7000 with a 17-55mm f/2.8). Yes, after sometime at that very evening my body (my ankles and lower back) was feeling the weight of all these wonderful gear hugging my body comfortably as a run and chase the excited bride and groom of this day, I started working out more. A day after the shoot - I went and upload the photos from the 32 Gig memory cards to my Mac - I shot about 3,100 ++ photos. The first thing that popped in my mind... awesome photos Josh - are you sure you shot these? Yes! That is a wonderful shot, aah I got the shot, Yes, this is the one, we can put this on the cover and such. After an hour I knew that I must buy this lens (70-200mm), we wants it, we needs it, we must not be separated anymore, My Precious (sorry creepy moment there).
Recommendation: Please, if you have the means, and I mean by means, is funds. If you have the funds - I urge you, actually I implore you to go ahead and take the plunge and purchase this lens. I use the word please to imply the importance in a little more subtle way. If you are like me, want to shoot with the best of what the creators of Nikon & Nikkor gear can come up with and want to create the best humanly possible imagery that your senses + your camera gear + your computer = can produce - come and get this precious, I mean lens. Something worth noting is that there are cheaper alternatives out there (Tokina, Tamron, or instagram) I will not be recommending any of those (3rd party) brand as I have 0 knowledge about them other than the fact that they exist. I will however recommend this lens again to you, my good online reader friend - I will recommend this to a friend, I would recommend this to an enemy, I would even recommend it to rival wedding photographers who shoot with Nikon bodies. Yeah, it's that good. What else can I say to make you buy this precious, I mean lens.
I thank you for your time in reading this - and I do hope that this review helps you make your purchase/review. Pls click the thingy if you think this review helped you out (so that other seekers will be able to find) Please feel free to leave any cool comments or any rocking questions -
~ Josh
pros:
1. Sharpness. This is the sharpest lens I own. It is sharper than my tamron 24-70 2.8 VC, my nikon 50 1.8, my tamron 15-30 2.8(with vc), and my tamron 90 mm macro lens(no vr). I have also owned the most recent sigma 70-200 hsm os. This lens is sharper by an order of magnitude(the sigma lens is a fine performer, this lens is outstanding).
2. Autofocus speed - this lens focuses virtually immediately. I haven't used this lens in dark situations, but in well lit situations which I have used it in, the autofocus is ultra fast and ultra quiet. I have photographed a basketball game and a roller derby match. In both scenarios, the autofocus hit early and tracked consistently. The only situations I found which weren't ideal were where many moving objects are close together and moving at different speeds and directions. Occasionally using nikon 3d focus, it would focus on the wrong subject, likely due to my inability to track these moving object in the focus point of the lens.
3. Color- even with the raw files that I shoot, the colors generated by this lens are pleasing, realistic and brilliant, without having to adjust vibrance or saturation in post processing
4. Contrast - even in the raw file, the contrast is profound. I never have to adjust contrast during processing of the image in lightroom. One issue I had when I owned my sigma 70-200 was the images were somewhat flat, but with manipulation in post, the contrast levels could approach what I am getting on the nikon.
5. Bokeh - the background blur is dreamy. I shot mainly at f 3.5, but at wide open the background blue is phenomenal.
cons:
1. When the lens is wide open, there is a very slight vignette, very easily removed in post if you want. I tend to prefer a slight vignette especially in portraits.
2. The lens hood is a joke. About the most plasticy piece of equipment I own.
3. Cost
The images I am posting were taken using this lens on my nikon d7200. I have also used it on my d750 with identical results with respect to image quality and focus speed

Top reviews from other countries
70-200mm F2.8G ED VR II is the best lens for portraits and for landscapes that fit within the focus range. The Depth of Field is just amazing. Bokeh is very prominent. The lens is very fast and if you have the right settings for the right moment, there is no chance you can miss the shot that you want. I have used for weddings, birthday parties and other functions including wildlife. I have absolutely no regrets buying this Lens. Go for it. Don't look back . It can change the way you take pictures and make you feel better as a photographer !
Thanks Seller :)
La construcción es fabulosa. Es muy robusto. Eso sí, pesa. Pero estamos hablando de un objetivo FX de luminosidad fija 2.8.
Creo que vale cada euro que pagas por él.
Please note this is a big and heavy lens especially when paired with the D810. That said though, I hand-held the camera and lens all day (9.30am till 5pm) with no problem as it is really well balanced. Expensive yes but we'll worth the investment if you want a zoom lens that shoots like a prime
