Hi all,
Just had my first experience with the 70-200/4.0G on my V2 and I can state that it is a mix made in heaven! My wife has the fantastic 70-300CX, but the 70-200/4.0G is fantastic, too!
I used to use my 80-400 VR II on my D600, and my V2, but sold it as it isn't really in the same league as the 70-300CX the wife has, or the 70-200/4.0G. Especially in its long end it wasn't as shockingly sharp as I expected. Better than the old 80-400, yes, but really crisp, no!
I also use the Tamron 70-300 VC on my Nikon 1 cameras. Although that lens is a bit softer than the 70-300CX, and the 70-200, but it also costs very much less! Side by side with the 80-400 it could at times hold its place (needed stepping down to f/8.0 first), and that is amazing for a lens costing about a 7th of what the 80-400 cost me when I bought it.
When are you going to test the 70-300CX, or the 70-200 on a Nikon 1 camera?!
