fast tele-zoom lens designed for DSLR cameras with both 35mm full-size image sensors and APS-C sized sensors. Its fast f2.8 aperture enables photographers to work with the minimum depth of field or at higher shutter speeds to freeze action shots whilst offering a the best-in-class Minimum Focussing Distance of 0.95m over the entire zoom range, giving an impressive macro magnification ratio of 1:3.1 when zoomed to 200mm. The advanced optical construction of the AF 70-200 f2.8 with Tamron’s Multi Lens coatings minimise the possibilities of flare, with three LD (low dispersion) elements effectively compensating for lateral and on-axis chromatic aberrations, resulting in edge-to-edge sharpness and high-contrast image quality to challenge far higher priced alternatives from the mainstream camera brands.

I've used a friend's camera fairly extensively. It's a perfectly okay camera, but for me it is basically flawed.

The F70 represents the best and worst of Nikon. It's a well made camera with plenty of features for the advanced amateur. It's has a high max shutter speed and a good flash sync speed. But it shows it's age in the way you use it. Basially the user interface is horrible. I know some who like it, but not many. Changing anything seems to require holding down multitudes of buttons ot going through several menus. You cn get used to it, but better for the controls to be simple and intuitive - much like the Canons. Nikon have realised this and he latest F60s and F80s reflect that. The newer models handle much more like the Canons, and they are all the better for it.

Quick review of Nikon F 70
Great camera many easy features to use if not camera or photography literate. Comes with red eye reduction which comes in handy for those parties where everyone looks evil. Built in flash works great and definitely improves night time or indoor photography. ...

...looked cheap and nasty.
The Nikon D70 was born and I eagerly awaited the test reports - I was hooked and ordered one. So much was the demand that it took me 7 weeks to get my hands on it.
I have never looked back - I sold all my Canon gear amd have been taking digital photographs ever since.
The quality of the D70, like its handling is superb, it feel right, not to large but again not to small. It has handled any job I have tried without letting ... ...not have a connection for studio flash.
It uses Compact Flash Cardfs - not those horrible flimsy SD cards and by using Sandisk Ultra II cards I can get 73 photographs at the finest setting. Download them, get 'Truprint' to print them for me and clear the card ready for use again.
The excellent lion battery can take approc 500 photographs before requiring recharging.
Simply, if you are thinking of buying a D70 - don't think buy it - you will not ...

Advantages: It's very complete Disadvantages: More expensive
We are before a digital camera of last technology. It has everything what could have a camera, only it lacks a few wings to be able to fly. It is a question of a very compact camera and that, to have all the complements and utilities that it has, it is not also very difficult to handle.
One month ago I decided to buy me a digital camera and allowed myself the caprice advised by a friend, of buying me this jewel. Probably machine is too much for ... ...will try to extract the whole game that could.
I praised myself for the mark Nikon, which is that nowadays, probably close to Canon, they take the voice singer as for digital cameras. And seeing the functions and utilities, I fell in love with this D70. It is a question of a recent enough innovation on the market. Always it is said that it is not necessary to be a pioneering buyer in technology, since the prices are in the habit of tending to get ...

Reviews which might be of interest for "Nikon F 70"
Advantages: Beautiful bokeh, tack-sharp, vibration reduction, easy to use, many useful accessories Disadvantages: heavy, expensive, slight vignetting, prone to flaring
their version, the so-called "vibration reduction", was the 80-400mm f/4.5-5.6 ED. An interesting lens to be sure, but Nikon owners really started to get excited at the announcement of the AF-S 70-200 F2.8 VR. This lens, a successor of a highly regarded line of professional lenses, turned out to be spectacular: the image stabila? sorry, the vibration reduction was possibly even more effective than Canon's and the image quality? Well, I am going to discuss that right now!
---Image quality---
The 70-200 VR is a tack-sharp lens, as you would expect of a lens in this price class. It is not even in the same ballpark as normal consumer lenses: the colours are vibrant, the details sharp, and the bokeh (the appearance of parts of the picture that our out of focus) is stunning. The lens is particularly famous for the silky smooth rendering of out ...
Advantages: Robust, good looking, quick focusing, compact Disadvantages: There are better alternatives
I bought this lens for my Nikon D50 as a replacement for the 18-55mm lens that it came with. The difference in quality is immediately noticeable. While the standard lens feels cheap and rattles about when you shake it this one is heavier and made from the same heavy duty plastic as Nikon's entry level DSLR range. With the kit lense manual focusing is achieved by gripping and twisting the end of the lens whereas this more upmarket model features a focusing ring. This moves smoothly and can be altered with precision - just what you need on Nikon's AF-S lenses which focus automatically but enable you to override manually with ease.
The optics are as you would expect from Nikkor - fantastic - but not noticeably better than the kit lens. You do get a little extra zoom at the top end but this is not an all encompassing solution, it is a mid ...
Advantages: Sharp, easyily fitted Disadvantages: Rather large, loud AF.
I recently purchased this lens as my first telephoto lens for my new(ish) Nikon D70, currently only trusting Nikkor lenses (literally can't afford for it not to be good quality).
I've tried it out a handful of times, on architecture and portrait photography mostly.
As a "rookie" to photography I thought I would look for my first telephoto lens to be within a reasonable budget, this is what I came up with after having a look around.
The lens is very well built and sturdy, relatively heavy but I doubt I would be able to feel much of a weight loss between lenses, what's a couple of grams eh? So far its produced sharp images when using a tripod (without VR (vibration reduction) your never going to be able to hold a 300mm lens x 1.4 by hand without blurring the image, either that or I have horrible technique).
The main hit I felt when I ...
Fantastic build quality, superb handling, access to Nikon's legendary range of lenses, capable of virtually any assignment, total "systems"camera
Slow 1/80 sec flash sync, idiosyncratic position of hot-shoe,dull (by modern standards anyway) viewfinder, metering pattern takes getting used to, this is NOT a point-and-shoot camera. (*)
