The new Nikon AF-S 70-200mm f4 VR is a nice addition to the range, and seems to lack the large focus breathing its more expensive brother, the AF-S 70-200mm f2.8 VR II, shows.
The f2.8 VR II has an unimpressive 0.12 max. magnification according to Nikon specs, at an MFD of 1.4 meters.
The new f4 has a nice 0.275 max. mag. according to the Nikon specs, at given MFD of 1 meter.
That is pretty close in focus breathing terms to my EF 70-200mm f4 L USM, which gets a 0.21 at 1.2 meters MFD and 0.29 at 1 meter MFD with 12mm extension tube.
Indeed, it looks to be a nice addition to the Nikon range!
