Das Nikkor erhält im Test Bonuspunkte für die extrem gleichmäßige Auflösung, wobei dies für beide Blenden über den gesamten Zoombereich gilt. Auch die chromatische Aberration wird hier sehr gut korrigiert. Das Ergebnis sind sehr scharfe Bilder schon bei Anfangsblende, wobei man durch Abblenden jedoch nochmals den Kontrast steigern kann...

Zwar ist diese Version des Objektivs etwas lichtschwächer, kann aber dennoch insgesamt empfohlen werden. Das besonders, da es bereits offen mit sehrt guter Schärfe überzeugt und das sehr gleichmäßig. Dabei ist die 70 mm Einstellung stärker als dies bei 200 mm der Fall ist, wobei Verarbeitung sowie Handling ebenfalls sehr gut sind.
