In the world of Nikon telephoto zooms there is a juggernaut that looms above all else … the coveted 70-200 f/2.8 VR. With a retail price of over $2000.00 USD, it is often out of reach for a majority of advanced amateurs. Even with that being true, I know of several advanced amateurs who are saving (and have been for awhile) specifically for this lens.

BookReview: Annie Leibovitz, “At Work”
