Nikon Nikkor AF-S 70-200 mm f/4.0G ED VR
6. Distortion
The problem, far from serious but still, appears when you pass to the full frame. At 70 mm the situation is more or less good because barrel distortion reaches just –0.56% there. The distortion changes its sign quickly, though, and starts to increase – at 135 mm it reaches the value of 1.57%. The most distinct problems you see at 200 mm focal length where it gets to 2.14%.
If those moderately serious distortion problems don’t suit you, you should think about the f/2.8 Nikkor. In its case, at no focal length the distortion exceeded a level of 1.4%.
