Question: Do I need a lens collar for a D750 with this lens?
Document: I replaced my much heavier f/2.8 lens with this lens and couldn't be happier. It is the new V R III version from Nikon and actually CAN be handheld at 5 f/stops lower than normally possible without VR. The lens does not come with a tripod collar. although you can buy a tripod collar, I find I don't miss it and don't need it.
I don't see how you could be disappointed!Good job Nikon! The only beef I have is not with the lens, but with the tripod collar ring which does NOT come with the lens and is just ridiculously expensive! I mean, $200?! But there's another one available made my "DSLRKIT." It's all metal, has been receiving great reviews and is only $36 on Amazon! You might want to check this out if you're planning on ordering this lens and need a tripod mount collar ring.
This lens is smaller and lighter than I thought. That's probably because I have used the Tamron and Sigma 70-200 2.8 lenses and the Sigma 50-150 OS lens and they are all a lot bigger and heavier than this one. It's so light that it kind of makes sense why the tripod collar is optional except then you have to wonder because of the price they are asking for this lens. You really don't even need it, although it would balance it out a little more on the tripod.
It's a bit more pricey (+$200), but frankly I'm willing to pay that much just to go from the Canon white to Nikon black...much more discrete and less gaudy. Excellent IS, and it will take the 1.4X teleconvertor, though I've not yet attached one. Very pleased thus far; excellent bokeh and nice weight and balance. Separately purchased tripod collar is pricey, if you feel you need one.
This lens also makes me move around a bit to be more creative vs. just zoom in and out. * AF-S 24-70mm f/2.8: I use this when I just don't know what kind of pictures I could be taking and need to have zoom & I don't have to move around as much.
Portrait and wedding photographers care about that.- The tripod collar is not a big loss because the lens is so light. I tried the Nikon add-on collar but the lens/camera combo was actually better balanced without it.
For those times when it is quite dark, yes, I would need the tri-pod, as well as for some video shoots. But, when you want, or need, to walk around shooting with this lens that reduction in weight (the lens as well as the tri-pod) is totally priceless.The f/2.8 will produce slightly better bokeh (background blur) in almost all cases but that also depends on circumstances.
There's absolutely nothing bad I can find to say about this lens other than commenting on how Nikon should have included the tripod collar rather than charge extra for it. I love that the zoom is completely internal and the VR on this model is outstanding. It's tack sharp and exhibits very little in the way of image quality flaws. Don't hesitate with this one, just buy it.
Yes, vibrant. When you add that to the weight being about half of the f/2.8, due to no tripod collar and less glass, this lens is one that will be staying with me for a long time to come. Speaking of the tri-pod collar - the balance without it is such that when I use my Manfrotto 3221W tri-pod with theManfrotto 804RC2pan/tilt head it is really a non-issue.
I definitely miss the light weight portability of the F/4 every time I use the 2.8. It's almost half the weight and is super sharp, shaper at dead center when compared to the 2.8 even.Bottom line: great price for a fantastic 70-200 lens unless you need the extra low light performance (but that comes at another $1000 so consider your options!
Answer: No you don´t. If you are gonna shoot with a tripod, a collar is ideal. However, you can achieve great results without using one.When i travel light, i use it with my D800 on a BH-40 ball head with an L plate on the camera with no problem.Hope this helps.
