Nikon 200mm f/2G ED AF-S VR II
The Nikon 200mm f/2G ED AF-S VR II is a very fast telephoto lens for Nikon F-mount cameras. If you need a fast-aperture telephoto lens, this is arguably the best available. Key features include:

Q & A
“G” is a reference to a G-Type lens and is distinguishable from a standard D-Type lens by its lack of an aperture control ring. G-Type lenses relay distance information to compatible DSLRs like a D-Type lens but rely wholly on electronic aperture control through a camera body.
“ED” stands for “Extra-Low Dispersion” Glass and is a reference to specialized glass used for the correction of chromatic aberrations.
“AF-S” refers to Auto Focus that features Nikon’s Silent Wave Motor or “SWM.”
“VR” or “Vibration Reduction” is a reference to Nikon’s proprietary in-lens image stabilization.
“II” is commonly mistaken as a second version of VR but is actually a reference to the second generation of this particular lens.
