Hi folks,
I'm a long time lurker and am have been using a 1000D for four years. I'll be upgrading to a mid-level full frame this year. I have no huge investment in lenses and could go either way while I'm watching what pans out with regard to test outcomes re D800 v 5D MarkIII.
One often cited comment appears to be that Canon has superior and cheaper lenses.
I was just checking this assertion on camerapricebuster.com with regard to 70-200mm high quality zooms. I'm afraid I'm confused by the alphabeti-spaghetti of the Nikon lens nomenclature...
I've looked but can't find an answer to what the difference is between:
Nikon AF-S 70-200mm f/2.8G ED VR II @ £ 1,599-00 http://www.camerapricebuster.com/Nikon_AF-S_70-200mm_f2.8G_ED_VR_II_pc.html
and
Nikon AF-S VR 70-200mm f/2.8G IF-ED@ £ 1,657-72 http://www.camerapricebuster.com/Nikon_AF-S_VR_70-200mm_f2.8G_IF-ED_pc.html
Does anybody know please? Even Google doesn't seem to know this one...
Overall, from a cursory look through my uneducated eyes it appears that Canon lenses are not reliably and significantly cheaper than Nikon lenses. Maybe in other markets? But not from what I can see in the UK.
If anybody can clarify the difference between these two Nikon 70-200mm Nikon zooms I'd appreciate it.
Now that I've finished typing I realise that this would probably have been better posted to Nikon Rumours :- ).
Help appreciated folks.
Cheers
Jon.
