  • aww great... now I have to look for "YazeedWILD" comment...

  • jared, go play with a 600 f4! haha i think it would be awesome to see what you could do with it

  • Hint: BEFORE you review a lens. . .KNOW what you are talking about. . FRO don't KNOW shit

  • haha i thought this guy was frm LMFAO haha

  • @YazeedWILD lol that comment is fucking hilarious!!!!!!!!!! You should go find a large truck and crawl underneath it! :D

  • @YazeedWILD I think you voted dislike :D :D :D

  • @YazeedWILD

    كل برسيم

  • I am still laughing @ "Who needs a manual?" and later on while you were going through the controls in the lens.."Oh i dont know what this is.. guess i need the manual"... LOL !

  • @YazeedWILD You pussy.

  • on a crop dx body whould it kill a 300mm nikkor

  • Wouldn't the Nikon 135mm 2.0 or the Canon 135mm 2.0 be a good alternative on a crop body?

  • i'm going 2 by a car rather than this monster

  • @YazeedWILD HEY! don't hate on @JaredPolin sexy hair.

  • this is too amazing. GREAT review.

  • Hehehe guess who's getting to use this lens tomorrow?? :D I'm so stoked

  • You took out the lens* D: starts drooling

  • Nice haircut.,or should i say nocut?

  • For 6000 euro i want a 200mm F 1.4 build me one and i will buy one imediatly.

  • I love it when he says Jared polin haaha

  • I think that's not a studio lens, i think it's made for sport !

  • Want the shirt :D

  • The best way to desanitize ur hands is rub somewhere around your butt and comb ur hand..... lol

  • I think I'd rather lose the one stop of light and save me $3000 and get the 70-200 VR2 lol

  • i use this for tennis. The results are amazing

  • @YazeedWILD herp

  • this may sound stupid (im new to photography) but how do u focus on the eyes? whenever i try to manual focus, the picture comes back a tiny bit out of focus. can someone give me some tips?

  • @DisIsHowiRoll try single autofocus and move your autofocus sensor around to where your subjects eyes are

  • @YazeedWILD Since when do autistic people have youtube accounts?

  • The older guy in the back with the red/white hat, I WANT HIS JOB !

  • I'll get it (as well as the D800/900) on my next trip to NY.

    Do I have to pay taxes ?

  • @YazeedWILD LOL hahahaha he is official in a fro way

  • Whats up Jared. I wanted to know why prime lenses are used by many pros. What is the big advantage? Also. for somebody who isn't going to spend a lot of money what is a good sub $1000 lense which i can use for both in and out door shots. thanx in advance.

  • @RainnMakerr Because the glass is higher quality. The best zoom lens is not as sharp, fast or colorful as the best prime. Thats how it is. And when you are on a budget it is also good to go for primes, because you get higher image quality for the price. A good start on a Nikon is the 35mm 1.8G or the 50mm 1.8G depending on your needs those are great lenses. You can probably get similar lenses for Canon as well. Great glass for a good price.

  • @Yazeed. Dude your name has a lot of influence on you. Not a lot of people know the history of your name. Respect others please. person in the video is trying to help the viewers. If you don't like the video then please say 'peace' and move on. it's that simple. Peace~

  • @YazeedWILD wow this was a very worth while comment than you so much for it.

  • @JaredPolin now i know how you got those biceps ...with heavy lenses!

  • Is there no lens cap on this lens?

  • Does it come with a ND filter ?

  • Comment removed

  • Comment removed

  • You need a head cut really bad.

  • me want

  • Man...that is one sharp lens. No sharpening?

  • Comment removed

  • I have this lens in the "erlier"(version) to my D80, and I must say I can´t see or feel any difference to the new VRII version I tested. Anyway, both versions are great and with the TC-20E III it´s goes incredible! It works fine in any weather!

  • Jared, PLEAE put a sheet of rubber on the counter, man! One mistake and the vids are over........

  • Apparently the vr2 aint much better than its predecessor, which was a fantastic lens. I can buy the vr"1" for £2800, whereas the vr2 is £4500, so its a no-brainer!

  • There is a slot (near the lens-camera body mount) into which you can drop 52mm filters, so yes, it does take filters, which fro didnt kno

  • @snifnscratch its the same as on the 300 2.8s.

  • @JaredPolin so the fro know that haha

  • What a fat glass! beautiful!

  • Amazing bokeh! How heavy is it?

  • Jared. How come this lens got no lens cap?

  • YOU know nothing about the old 200/2 and you say its shorter ect. . .if you are going to review a lens, let me give you a type-KNOW WTF it is used for. . .. it may be a great studio lens, but it is the best indoor sports lens on the planet. . . . but you wouldn't know that. . .if you never used the old 200, I doubt you are much of a photog. . you are embarrassing. .

  • @HMFRiverdale wow sounds like someone is jealous.

  • you've probably gotten this before but what's your opinion on the 135 DC vs this 200 ƒ/2?

  • jared..one more thing..i could not get a review on nikon 300mm f2.8 on youtube.. can you do a review on that lens..plus it would be great insight if you campare it with sigma 300mm f2.8 as it its nearly half its price.. is sigma lens nearly as good as nikon's..?

    Thanks

  • 6000 lens you better use it for everything :) jejeje

  • Hi jared... nice review. I want to know which nikon camera and lens combo is the best suited to get a black and white portrait shot..? I'm a big B/W fan and would like your opinion on it..

  • @ashwinshankar any camera, i like 70-200s for portraits.

  • @JaredPolin WHAT ABOUT A 50 1.4? OR A 60 2.8G?

  • @JaredPolin hey urmm is creativity depends on a cool,expensive camera and lens??

  • @ashwinshankar Get D7000 and 70-200 VR2. D7000 has the highest DR (dynamic range) in the nikon family. This will help you a lot when it comes to b&w photos.

  • Smelling something new always takes you higher!

  • The 300/2.8 hood is better that 200/2. Too bad!

  • @mirciusx the 300, as a indoor sports lens (0r any low light situation) isn't in the same league as the 200. The 200 is superior using every criteria known to photography. . .

  • @mirciusx just the hood is better

  • $6,000 FUCK THAT EXPENSIVE LENS!!!

  • Its a mini-cannon

  • soo out of curiosity, which has a 'true' 200mm focal length: 70-200 vr or 70-200 vrii

  • @briguy3418 not sure honestly, nikon tech would not answer a question well enough for me all they said it was some formula or something.

  • What's the advantage of turning off VR? Nikon dedicates a VR on/off switch. Why not make it standard?

  • @brianwoods82378 well sometimes vr slows down your focus and ive noticed if i leave it on and have to shoot fast it misses.

  • @brianwoods82378 VR needs to be turned off also when you are doing panning shots or when you are using a tripod or if you subject is jumping around a lot....

  • @brianwoods82378 VR uses battery power, that could be an issue sometime.

  • @brianwoods82378 why turning off, because when you use it on a tripod the VR moves your image and makes it blured and moved

  • i want to buy a lenshood but i don't know if i should get e flower one or a normal full one, what's the difference?

  • wow this with the d3x would be awesome!!!

  • MR Fro! You are awesome! :) the lens is awesome! your hair is awesome!!

    but, doesn't it come with a lenseprotector? is that just the big velcro thing?

    holy, makes me scream, throwing it upside down on the table..l

  • Make a video hands-on like the ones that DigitalRev made. :))

  • I wish I was rich.

  • Would this work on a dx or fx body?

  • Didn't see a front lens cap?

  • that lense is so BOOOM!

  • If I had the money I'd skip over this one and go for a 400/4 or longer, but that's just me.

  • Love the close up look at the end!

  • The best camera store in the world!

  • Any chance of taking a video tour of Al's Camera store?

  • Nice job on the review, Jared, but this f/2 lens is a full stop, not 1/4 stop, faster than the f/2.8 you compared it to. Might want to review the all-too-confusing math used to derive f-stops. Briefly, the f-stop is a ratio of the lens focal length to it's aperture diameter. This lens is a focal length of 200 mm and the max aperture is about 100 mm. 200/100 = 2. If the ratio was 2.8, the aperture would be about 71 mm (200/71 = 2.8). While the diameter isn't cut in half, the amount of light is.

  • @kentak47 ...Why? Because the amount of light passing through the iris of a lens of a given focal length is determined by the area of the opening, not the diameter. Area = pi x radius^2. If you double the diameter (thus the radius, too) you get four times as much light since 2^2 is 4. That's why an f/2 lens is two stops faster than an f/4. One stop more (f/2.8) doubles the exposure, and another stop more (f/4) doubles it again. Got it? ;-)

  • @kentak47 In that last sentence, change "doubles" to "halves."

  • @kentak47 lol wow.

  • @JaredPolin Yeah, I know. The F-stop scale is totally non-intuitive. Think how confusing it is to photography newbies. We tell them ISO 400 is twice as sensitive as ISO 200 (makes sense), and that 1/400 sec shutter speed is twice as fast as 1/200 (makes sense as long as you know fractions), and then we tell them f/2 is twice the exposure of f/2.8. The numeral relationship is goofy and the direction seems wrong. Quick! What's half the exposure of f/9? LOL

  • @kentak47 if u double the diameter u quadruple the radius!! ryt?

  • @pogi09282805724 No. The radius is, of course, always half the diameter. If the diameter of a circle is 100mm, the radius is 50mm. If you double the diameter to 200mm, the radius is 100mm, double what it was before.

  • @kentak47 OK MY BAD!! hahahaha

  • @pogi09282805724 If you mean that doubling the diameter of a circle quadruples the *original* radius, that is true, but irrelevant. When you double the *radius* of a circle, you quadruple the *area* of the circle, which relates to lens aperture in that the area of the opening determines exposure. Increasing an aperture from 20 to 28 mm doubles the exposure (1 f-stop) because that doubles the area of the opening.

  • Mr Fro you did the unboxing of the D7000. But when is the full review coming up? I thought you would discuss this camera a lot more in detail. Why keep us waiting??

  • @itsmeeeeeeeeeee i dont have one yet that and i cant even open the rAW files yet. In due time.

  • Awesome. Thanks for this. Unfortunately this will have to go on my "When hell freezes over" list of stuff I wan't.. But it is at the top of that list.

  • you call this a review?? seriously?? youre just standin there and sniffin the lens damn thats why i stick to lilkiwiguy87's reviews because it's how a lens review is done

  • @Jmozzari As far as I remember, lilkiwiguy's videos consist mainly of poorly written, horribly boring text. Not to mention obnoxious and unnecessary soundtracks. At least Jared exudes personality and actually talks. I don't look at YouTube videos so I can read.

  • @GrimsditchImages i am pretty sure the lilkiwiguy is deaf thats sorta why he doesnt talk. But i wonder if the person above watched the full video to see the results from the lens, who knows.

  • thers no lens cap??

  • @fantomkaustubh now that you mention it no its just like on the larger lenses there is a front protector thingy that protects it if that makes sens.

  • @JaredPolin ok..! u wud b careful with a 6k$ lens neway...but why cant we hav tht same thingy on all the lenses??!!

  • LMBO @ that acting... MR FRO MR FRO

  • What is the difference between VR and IS?

  • @setosail Nikon calls it VR Canon calls it IS. That's all

  • omg if i had that money i wud buy this lol but hey Jared whats in your macbook dock?

  • What a lens!! lol. 

  • It reminds me of one of those Russian dolls where you start out with something massive and then you end up with a 'small' lens at the end. It's still pretty big, but I was expecting something huge considering the size of that camera bag.

  • Jared could you do a video where you go through what programs you have on your apps bar

    thanks

    Peter

  • VR is vibration reduction, so the photos arent shaky and blurry

  • Nikon glass is WAY overpriced. Take a look at some real Canon glass (the 200 F/2) Oh wait.....it's $6000 too. haha I wonder which one is better? I would like to see a comparison. Wow! Cool lenses.

  • Jizz in my pants

  • great review,thanks :)

  • damn, thats a sweet lens

  • that is one big lens!

  • That lens is awesome are you going to buy one?

  • @Giorgosm10 I can not honestly see buying one of these anytime soon wait anytime ever lol.

  • What is VR?

    Also what is the rule about the focal lenght, and the shutter speed again?

  • What is VR?

  • @setosail VR is vibration reduction

  • @setosail

    vibration redution

  • i need that shirt

  • 6000 $ !!!!?????

  • can you put a filter on it?it looks really big...plz tell me

  • @Xndingo11 You have to put in drop in filters id you want use them.  They are placed inside the lens near where it connects to the camera. No screw on filter would go on this lens.

  • @Xndingo11 u shouldnt even be considering buying this lens if u dont knwo if u can put a filter on it or not

  • Nice touch with the number! ^^

    I have another question:

    I noticed that the ISO changed between the images. Do you manually changed it depending of the situation or set a max value and auto? Because I would never think of changing the ISO because I thought the lighting condition was about the same in the shop?

    Thanks!

  • @heuykiller I always set my own ISO, I would not think about shooting in auto ISO. For the test I dropped the ISO slower to show how the VR works. Other times depending on location i bump my ISO higher to get the desired shutter speed. i have a lot of leeway in the D3s to go higher and higher with the ISO to get a fast enough SS to freeze action.

  • Nice touch with the number! ^^

  • Yeah Marlena would be taken, she's gorgeous! :)

  • So pretty.

  • god damn thats a big lens Jared. :O

  • closeeer

  • amazing peice of glass

  • Just goes to show ya: "Good things cost money".

    Just shows another thing... -I gotta get myself some money...

  • awesome stuff! Fro when are the Red shirts gunna be available??

  • @HokieFanatic1 not sure yet, so far i have the only one!!! Have you seen the blue one or just like the red more?

  • I think this lense comes with a new protection filter on front doesnt it? or was it the 200-400 version II?

    and .. regarding users Manual .. last time I didnt read a lens manual I screwed up my VR system cause I never read one should only activate the VR motor without a tripod or monopod (I used the later) so.. I would read a 6k usd lens manual for sure

    BTW, great new color for the Tshirt!! I want one.. as soon as I know they can get to mexico :(

    Thanks for your review Fro great work as always

  • hey Jared, thanks for all the videos that you do. if possible can you test it with teleconverters? i am debating whether or not to get this, 200mm, or the 300 2.8.

  • @aaguirre123 i personally do not like teli converters.

  • @JaredPolin thanks for your response. so teliconverters would decrease the quality? also what do you think about capture nx2?

  • Awesome piece of glass BUT not as awesome as the red raw tshirt your rockin' , when can we buy one ;)

  • 6k is a bit steep for most...You can get a whole kit for that sort of money.24-70 2.8, 70-200 2.8, 135 2 , 50 1.2 and a nice meal.

    Still... a sweet sweet lens, no argument there :)

  • HolycRAP! lens is huge.

    cost toooo much$

  • Damn When i was shooting with Nikon's a 1,800$ lens are expensive and a 6000$ lens was Sick expensive ..... but now with leica's a 21mm f/1.4 is 6000$ which is retarded :P

    Nice Lens and review Jared

  • @Bader88 google the price a Sigma 200-500mm f2.8. now thats retarded

  • Just 6000 Dollar ohwell :D

  • I have the 135mm f2 dc and the 200 f2. Somehow for portraits the 135mm f2 wide open manages better results. For everything else the 200 is just great. The 200 is huge lens to carry around: you get some free exercise with it.

  • that costs more than my car...

  • Comment removed

  • That is SUPER sharp damn...

  • woow looks like a weapon!!

  • It's a full stop faster than the 70-200 f/2.8.

  • @lumow is that considered a full stop form 2 to 2.8I guess it is, sounds good to me.

  • @JaredPolin isn't a full stop equal to f/4

  • i like the red i shoot raw....!!

  • Can you review the CZ 135 1.8? Or the 135 STF?

  • Comment removed

  • I look forward to watching your videos almost everyday hahaha

  • @ryanhom Same here... :)
