Nikon 70-200mm f/2.8G ED-IF AF-S VR Zoom-Nikkor

Edmond from Centreville, MD reviews the Nikon 70-200mm f/2.8G ED-IF AF-S VR Zoom-Nikkor:

What's Hot: Super Sharp!! Extremely fast focuses even with the TC-20e II teleconverter! A "Must Have" in your camera bag!

What's Not: So far, NOTHING!

Review: Great lens! A bit long but well worth it for the super sharp pictures it produces. I was amazed how fast it focused! That and the VR are worth its weight in gold if you do any kind of fast action photography.

All light has a temperature which can be measured in degrees on the Kelvin scale. Noon daylight, for example, is around 5500 degrees Kelvin. Standard indoor household lamps are lower in degrees (around 2900) but called "warmer" because they occupy the reddish end of the spectrum. Cooler lights, those above 6500 degrees, are found on the bluish end of the visible spectrum. That's why pictures shot indoors on daylight film turn out reddish-brown. The light itself is that color. Why, then, do our eyes see those colors as normal instead of red? Because our brains compensate automatically and replace the missing blue and other cooler colors.
