Today was the first day of spotting this year. Light conditions were quite difficult, but I wanted to try my new 70-200 F/4 VR (Nikkor). Must say I am really pleased. I had the 2,8 before (version II) but at 200mm the new lens beats the 2,8 in my view. And it's a lot lighter. Autofocus indoor is a bit slower, but outside it's very quick. I don't notice any difference with the 2,8 VRII.
