Nikon f/2.8 70-200 VRII Zoom Lens

I bought this lens for the specific purpose of enabling better quality photos of my grandson’s “under the lights” high school football games.  Yesterday afternoon I was using the lens with my Nikon D7100 camera shooting a late afternoon game.  As the game ended I noticed the cloud buildup over the nearby Sandia Mountains, so without changing my camera’s manual settings ( f/5.6, shutter 1/500, ISO 160), I simply aimed, cranked the focal length to the max 200 mm, hit the back button focus, and fired.  Not the “go to” lens for landscape photos, but I’m impressed with its capabilities!
