Handheld photos made from around 2 meter distance @ 200mm (AF-S 70-200VRII left & AF-D 80-200 right). Because of heavy focus breathing (change of focal lenght by focus distance) of new AF-S 70-200/f2.8 VRII you get lot less than 200mm FOV when focusing close to minimum focus distances (1.4-2m) :/ By reviews I wasn't sure how big drawback this would be in real use, but now after using the 70-200VRII some times at studio, it feels annoying. For headshots, you need to sometimes crop final image while older 80-200 would have delivered tightly framed shot. 70-200 with this trait is still fantastic lens and VRII makes it awesome for low light shooting. Would I have ever noticed this without internet reviews? Probably not :) Ignorance is bliss.
