I Was searching for a good upgrade for a Jackson Japan Pro series, and Schaller is good like FR Original.
Simply amazing!!! This equipment installed in my Washburn RS980 makes me Rock much more than I could imagine. I encourage you to buy at Stewmac They're very very attentive since the first contact til the shipping at home. Thank's for everybody!!!
I have never written a review before, but I just have to say that I am so impressed with my purchase. I bought a Jackson Adrian Smith Signature guitar - the CHEAP one, built in India. Don't get me wrong, it plays and looks great. But within a couple weeks the knife edge on the trem was already worn out and sticking. I ordered a Black Schaller trem from Stewmac--received it in TWO DAYS!!--and no word of a lie it transformed that guitar into an absolute dream machine. Sustain for days, much improved tone, and rock solid tuning.If you have any suspicions that your guitar could benefit from a new trem, I would highly recommend the Schaller Floyd.
This trem is working great so far! Tuning stability has improved sooooo much! But if you have a newer Jackson it most likely won't be a direct drop in replacement. In my Jackson RR5FR, the baseplate was a little too big... As a result, the back of base was resting on the top of the finish (in a recessed body). So what I did was, I took the trem out to my garage and used my grinding wheel to take off the problem area. I then repainted the area's I took the finish off. Now the trem is in my guitar and fully functional. I am satisfied with my upgrade. I just wish that I didn't have to do so much work to make it fit. Other than that, I am very pleased with it!
I bought this unit for my guitar. Really like the Schaller Floyd Rose feel & look. Keep it up!
very stable just like OFR... thanks stewmac for answering lots of my questions and emails. excellent service!
This is the best floyd which I used on "2 songs" TV shows and all night live gigs. This floyd stays in tune in any situation!!!
I got this to replace a Washburn Schaller Floyd Rose. The threads on the base plate had stripped out where the saddle screws go and the guitar would not stay intonated. This new Schaller Floyd has hardened steel inserts so you can get the saddle tight enough without stripping the threads on the base plate.
Ironic title for a review, but it's true. I bought this as a replacement for a licensed Floyd Rose that had a block which was too short for my Strat. The Schaller fixed my problem and actually gave my guitar a decent amount of sustain. I don't care who disagrees, the bridge affects more than tuning stability, it helps fatten up your tone, too. Unfortunately, within a month or two of owning it I had cracked a saddle insert block and the black paint had chipped off around all the screws. Take what you will from that, but I didn't actually mind. In the end, I got to replace my old bridge with one that really did give the guitar a 1 up mushroom and replacement saddles are only $3.
I'll get right to the point. I am not a luthier, I can do set ups, but I don't replace nuts or fretwire, I don't even level frets. But if it's a straight forward set up job. No sweat.
Here WAS my problem. I am constantly working on my own stuff, and I went through this period of trying to find what felt best for me. It wasn't a problem until the string gauges started changing etc... that's when I realized to things (1) I don't feel comfortable adjusting string slots, and (2) I couldn't afford to pay a tech for the adjustments necessary to nuts, slots etc...
Then a Floyd Rose Trem came into my life and suddenly I didn't have to be a luthier... I just had to have my developed skills and mechanical apptitude. Problem solved. I've been a big fan ever since. And Stew-Mac has everything required to make those adjustments and replace worn parts. It's great.

'Pakis' are good people. I am not Pakistani, but I know many of them, and I understand their culture. I often see white people gettin pissed off when Pakistanis speak their own language, which is their mother tongue and belongs to them. I have read a lot of definitions that people have left on this site. People are saying we cant have this, and we cant have that because of pakis, which I think is a load of infantile, pathetic crap. Where does all this hatred come from? Not only that, but many accusations which have no statistical backing and are 250% utter nonsense, have been posted on this site, such as 'y the hell do they alll think they are gr8', and accusations of wife beating and rape, when I can say that figures for white people are worse, LOOK AT THE STATISTICS b4 u talk. Their country is not a war-torn one, but is actually one of the many pearls of Asia. They are a people who are united and are very hospitable. The hatred I see, has branched out from jealousy. People are saying 'pakis have this, we dont have that, they have this, we dont...' Also, a lot of people say that Pakistani people s,ell and are dirty, when this is obviously not true, and infact, it is mandatory that they wash five times a day before their prayers, so they are CLEAN people. I can only conclude that there are good and bad people from all walks of life, and there are those who are jealous, envious snakes, who are wasting their lives with this concealed hatred that they may only regret on their death beds. PEACE

A stupid racist word used too often in England. people usually use it when refering to asian people comeing from places like pakistan, india and bangladesh. you may also hear people saying paki shop. the word is mostly used in Britain, and some people here also ingnorantly use it for anyone with abit of a tan who does not look completley black such as a spanish or evan mixed race black and white person. People use the word in different ways, but its defenitely derogative.

A slang term used to describe a Pakistani immigrant or descent. In the United Kingdom, it is a racist slur used against not only Pakistanis, but also those from other parts of South Asia. However, it is not considered offensive when used amongst people of South Asian origin. Its degree of offensiveness is similar to that of a non-African American calling an African American a "Nigger".
"Get your butt off this English club, you bloody Paki!" Another good example is its usage in the famous low budget British Indian movie "Bend It Like Beckham", where Jasminder, a Indian girl, pushed an English girl for calling her a 'Paki' in the middle of a soccer game.

all you lot dissin pakis need 2 get a life wen you dnt no wot your talking about. im paki and english so that shows that people from different cultures can get along. you people saying bad stuff about pakis are ignorant cos your the wanka's. me and my paki friends use this term and even people that aintt paki use it but it should only be used in a gd way not in a racist manner. so all you haters get an education before u start slagging off others cos you lot are probably the ones that dont go to school and are doing drugs and shit. and even if some pakis are bad you dont have to tar them all with the same brush because 1 person doesnt represent the whole population now does it! your only saying bad stuff about them because there better than you and they know it but they dont go around saying it unlike you lot who say your better when your not. and another thing, people saying pakis have big noses alnd all this rubbish whats that about, your just listening to the stereotypes with low mentalities i.e. you!!!!!! theres a lot of paki girls and guys out there that are drop dead gorgeous just the same as there are in other cultures so you cant go around saying all pakis are ugly. grow up or shut up!!!
stop dissin pakis just because there better than you and you know it!!!!

First Bundesliga weekend overshadowed by suspected cheating case
In Sunday's second round of the Bundesliga in Germany the chess games were overshadowed by an incident of suspected cheating. Falko Bindrich's game was declared lost by the arbiter when the German grandmaster admitted that he had his smartphone with him while visiting the toilet, but refused to show it.
Falko Bindrich, suspected of cheating | Photo © Georgios Souleidis courtesy of the Bundesliga
Now that cycling is losing its sponsors one by one as a result of the Lance Armstrong case, we can't help wondering if some of these companies could be interested in chess. A new story about cheating – in this case suspected cheating – doesn't really help to create the image of a clean sport, though.
In Sunday's second round of the Bundesliga the match between SC Eppingen and Katernberg, held in Mülheim, ended in 3.5-4.5. One of the games was declared lost for Eppingen after an incident in the following game.
After 10.Nge2 GM Falko Bindrich (2532) went to the toilet, even though it was his move. In itself this shouldn't be a reason for suspicion (if you gotta go, you gotta go), but according to the report on the Bundesliga website Bindrich had done the same several times in his game on Saturday against Pavel Tregubov: visiting the toilet while he was to move.
That's why arbiter Dieter von Häfen decided to follow Bindrich, and ask him whether he had his smartphone with him. Bindrich answered positively, but refused to show his phone. The arbiter then pointed out to the player that if his phone wouldn't show anything chess related, he could simply continue his game. As Bindrich still refused to cooperate, the arbiter decided to declare the game lost for him, based on the following Bundesliga regulation, (in PDF here), translated by us into English:
(...) During their game the players may not have or gain access to mobile phones, computers and other electronic devices without the arbiter's permission. In case of clear suspected use of tools mentioned above, upon request of the arbiter the players are obliged to hand over these devices for inspection. In case of clear suspected use of tools mentioned above, upon request of the arbiter the players are obliged to have their clothes, bags or other pieces of luggage inspected. When a player breaches these obligations, the arbiter may take measures in accordance with Clause. 8.1 of the tournament rules.
Cheating is a serious problem in chess – our list of articles on this topic is already impressive. Nowadays the big majority of chess players have a smartphone. According to the Laws of Chess it is not allowed to have it switched on during a game:
12.3b Without the permission of the arbiter a player is forbidden to have a mobile phone or other electronic means of communication in the playing venue, unless they are completely switched off. (...)
However, it's impossible for organizers to check the phones of all the players all the time. And so, with smartphone chess programs getting stronger and stronger, every now and then a case of cheating pops up in the chess world. One recent example is a player who got caught, in June 2011, during the German Championship. He used a chess program on his smartphone during his last-round game. (We may add that back then his opponent was the same GM Sebastian Siebrecht!)
It's clear that measures should be taken, and the Bundesliga has given a good example to other organizers by including a separate regulation to deal with this situation. Bindrich probably felt that the arbiter was overstepping his jurisdiction when he asked to show his smartphone, but the 22-year-old grandmaster should know that the Bundesliga regulations allow this. Like in cycling, a Bundesliga player who refuses to perform a "doping test" will be considered to have tested positively.
On Saturday Bindrich won his white game against Tregubov, and his team Eppingen won 4.5-3.5 against Mülheim. Although Bindrich visited the toilet several times while he was to move, the arbiter didn't intervene. After the incident on Sunday, where the arbiter did intervene, the Mülheim team captain decided to file a protest, in order to have their loss anulled.

Not only national regulations allow it. FIDE rules clearly state that all electronic devices should be turned of during the game and inside the playing venue. Therefor he could loose the game by just having his phone turned on.

Bindrich plays for Eppingen. The teamcaptain of Mülheim (the team of Tregubov) filed a protest, because they lost on saturday because Bindrich won against Tregubov.

Obviously no player can be allowed time alone with an electronic device during a game. Given this, any professional tournament must place either a metal detector or a frisker in front of all toilets.

Bindrich cheated in an obvious manner by leaving the board on his move several times. How many smarter cheaters are getting away with the crime?
This is not enough. The one tested positively should be banned from chess for years or even forever. Zero tolerance should be adopted against cheating in Chess.
First offense a 1 year suspension; second offense a five year suspension...Unfortunate it has come to this: all bathroom stall doors are to be kept completely open with TWO moniters at all times. Sad but not unexpected. BTW, I assume the TD made an annoucement at the start of each round that cellphones and other e-devices are not to be on one's person during the time one is actively playing a competitive game , (Also note the extraordinary lengths the International Contact Bridge Association has gone to to eliminate cheating.).

Hey there! Do you use Twitter? I'd like to follow you if that would be ok.
I'm definitely enjoying your blog and look forward to new updates.
In order to clarify whether bindrich cheated or not against Tregubov , they should check that game with a program...
Maybe, but...Which program? All of them? And then decide by finding "similar lines"...No...Justice should be kept simple and fast...The cheater refused to show his phone..."Who owes nothing has nothing to fear..."
1 year 6 months ago
Ironically (in hindsight) Bindrich's game [with white] against Tregubov was highlighted at the Bundesliga homepage, I give the following fragment: "18.-Ba2 [attacking the Rb1] Black wants too much. The position after 18.-a4 (etc.) is very pleasant for black. 19.bxa5! This exchange sacrifice can be quickly found by process of elimination". Further on in the game, as far as I can tell there is little reason to suspect cheating, i.e. white didn't have to find tricky only moves to convert his advantage. But it doesn't matter because Bindrich's _behavior_ was suspicious.
Parts of the round 2 report may also merit translation from German: "his [Bindrich's] team captain Hans Dekan asked him [to hand his smartphone over to the arbiter]. ... Hans Dekan, who like the entire club SC Eppingen enjoys an excellent reputation within the Bundesliga, was Sunday evening so affected ("mitgenommen") that he didn't want to comment. The club will discuss internally and come up with a public statement in due course."

It seems Bindrich has been caught cheating before, on Playchess. Haven't found the full story yet. Anybody knows?
1 year 6 months ago
On the translation, "cloths" should be "clothes" but more importantly the first "don't" doesn't make sense, but if replaced by "may not" would work. "Don't" states a fact which may or may not be true, "May not" goes to what is permissible.
1 year 6 months ago
I think we must progress from lamenting the depravity of the culprits to acknowledge our failure when such simple fraud is possible in the first place. He only got caught because he was careless and overconfident. Ten others are not. It leads to all kinds of suspicions and protests. It's not possible to prevent cheating entirely but it shouldn't be that easy.
It might be possible to prevent entirely. Set up a completely sterile area where NO electronic devices can enter whether they are on or off. Frisk people thoroughly before they can enter that sterile area. Coaches, spectators and family members are not allowed in the sterile area and no one can leave it while their game is in progress except for an emergency. And of course there should be a 20 minute delay in broadcasting game moves over the internet.
If I've missed something please let me know.
What's Next?
1 year 6 months ago
I vote for therapy for cheaters to see if it helps before deciding a life ban.
1 year 6 months ago
If you don't penalize cheating appropriatly, you downplay its severity to not much more than a trivial offense.
a ban of some years, yes, but a life ban sounds ridiculous to me. After all the cheater will have to live with it for the rest of his life anyway
1 year 6 months ago
But even limited ban should be accompanied with stripping off FIDE titles and penalty.
1 year 6 months ago
I played a national tournament this weekend and they required that all cell phones be turned off and sitting next to the player at the board unless they want to keep them in a bag. Point was, you could not have the phone on your person if you decided to leave the playing room.

You left out the interesting bits. Did he use a Galaxy SIII or an iPhone 5? What are the best apps to cheat in a major tournament? You should write a comparative review. Chessvibes is a hive for fanboys, biuld on that, bridge the gap between chess fanboy and mobile fanboy!
Below is what I found on Bindrich concerning a supposed cheating on playchess with the handle "Endorphin".
"Grandmaster Falko Bindrich, under the handle "Endorphin", played some games against Raffael. His rating was over 3000 and later by Chessbase he was accused of cheating and his rating got deleted. His father Oswald Bindrich tried to refute the accusation (there never has been a real proof for cheating). Oswald Bindrich gave reaons why the deletion of the rating upsets his son. Only if you have a 3000-rating you can play against very strong Grandmasters online and improve your own play and opening repertoire in his opinion and he said his son played against Harikrishna, Mamedyarov, Raffael (Kasparov), Bologan and other strong Grandmaster. This idiciates he and his son, who has played against him, know that Raffael is Kasparov."
I had found the same quote, and another where Nakamura (on shaky grounds) accused Bindrich of cheating on Playchess. And another one where his father is said to be ready to sue anyone about these allegations. But I can't find any really hot proof.
By the way, in the same German championship Natsidis was caught using a chess app in his game against Siebrecht, Bindrich left the tournament after losing a game being two minutes too late at the board. He made a lot of fuss about other players not having been treated equally in previous rounds.
What I was looking for was a clue about what kind of character Bindrich has. Somehow I can't believe chess players are really inclined to cheating but in very special (personal) circumstances. In most cases, there is very little to gain and very much to lose. Sanctions may not even be the worst; you become laughing stock in what for many chess players is their principal social environment.
Chess cheating may be something like juvenile shop lifting: you try it out just for fun and when you don't get caught, the next time you want the same adrenaline kick. By the way, it is something of all times: players taking a pocket set to the toilet. The effect has just become a little bigger, but I don't think the kind of person is different.

I think, too, the overwhelming majority of chess players don't see a point in cheating. The problem are young ambitious players who will try anything once, and may find it easy and efficient. And the really big problems come when a group of young ambitious players see it as just the thing you have to do to get ahead. Peer pressure, like what happened in cycling. For a long time cycling officials pretended there were only singular cases and you never can stop it entirely. And under this cover, the next generation grew used to systematic fraud.
One of the things I would like to know is whether there has been any connection between Natsidis and Bindrich. Still, peer pressure may be too strong an expression; peer copying is a more likely form.
I don't think the comparison with cycling will stand. As far as I know, cycling used to be a way to get yourself out of poverty. (Some might say chess has always been a way to get yourself into poverty...) If your friends found a way to do that quicker, you wouldn't hold a grudge (for long), you just did the same. It was just another way to beat the system that once held you down. In this way doping and cycling got securely linked to eachother, even when nowadays business school students swop their books for a bike.
There is no such tradition in chess. The majority of chess players have or had access to a reasonable level of education. The amount of money going on in chess, except for the absolute top level, can't be compared to cycling. As a 2500 IGM (what Bindrich has been for quite some time), you'd better get a job on the side, except when your love for chess is unlimited - but then you wouldn't cheat.

Bindrich and Natsidis are both from Saxony, but this doesn't prove anything - obviously Bindrich could copy or be "inspired by" Natsidis without knowing him at all. Nor are they directly competing with each other.
They actually do have a "connection": First Saturday April 2011 - "in the last round the most ambitious player, the winner of the event, GM Bindrich Falko (21, GER) defeated his fellow citizen Natsidis Cristoph who needed only a draw to reach the IM norm." http://www.fide.com/component/content/article/4-tournaments/5180-german-... - how much time did BOTH players spend at the toilet?
As to supposed cheating on Playchess, my colleague Olaf Steffens on a German blog found the open letter by Bindrich's father:
It's far too long to translate, Oswald Bindrich's version is: Nakamura lost two consecutive Internet games against Bindrich and then writes in the chat visible for everyone: "You are cheating!"
If true, it comes down to another young ambitious player being a sore loser - indeed unfounded cheating accusations are as much a problem as cheating itself? But even if Bindrich DID cheat back then: the games were played in 2007 when he was 16 or 17 years old, by itself it might be just a youth sin.
Thanks for the digging. I've tried to read Oswald Bindrich's open letter, but it is quite long, even more so because it's in German.
Not unimportant: I read Bindrich was accused of cheating on playchess not just by Nakamura, but also by the sysop (Holger Lieske), and more than once. And at one moment he even admitted to it, although he later retracted that.
What I mainly read is a father defending a son that he is very proud of. But a 17-year old should be able to defend himself, is the first that comes to mind. Did Oswald do the right thing? My own experience with being a father is that it is a kind of management by wandering - or blundering - around, so I won't comment on it.
Most people grow over their youth sins (I committed a few myself - not cheating in chess!). But if you seem to repeat them later on in life, they become relevant again. If only to give us a clue about how to prevent young players going astray.
Of course this could all be a conspiracy against the Bindrich family, but I wouldn't bet on that.
Bindrich only got caught as he was so blatant , repeatedly getting up when it was his move. Other famous cheating cases that have been uncovered like the Allerman case involved him announcing mate in 8 ! It is likely that there are more devious cheaters around. I gave up chess for a few years after losing a very difficult game and realised afterwards I had my pocket Fritz on me and could have used it at any point in the game which would have been decisive, this caused me to lose some faith in slow time control chess.
Also this cheating takes away from others who may have made genuine improvements in their chess results and leaves me feeling suspicious of them.
The comparison with cycling is quite apt, I think one route is to have shorter time limit games with participants not allowed to get up, for example play best of 6 five minute games instead of one long game as this would make it harder for andindividual to cheat with an accomplice as well as on their own.
Correction to my last post Allwermann case not Allerman
If Kasparov and Carlsen can get away with cheating, than why not Bindrich? I really don't see what the fuss is about. For Bindrich the evidence is at least only circumstancial.
Oh, I´d love an in depth explanation on Kasparov and Carlsen's cheating.
Google is your friend. I found the following:
"Garry Kasparov took a move back in his game against Judit Polgar. Except Judit, no one else saw the takeback, but Spanish TV filmed the scene. Kasparov dropped the Knight on c5, lifted hand a bit, then saw he was losing a Rook, took the Knight back to d7 and few seconds later played Nf8. Judit was stunned, looked around for the arbiter but didn't complain at all."
"The game, which started as a 'Berlin Wall', saw a peculiar finish when on move 43 Carlsen played his rook to a3 only to realize that this move would drop the rook. He 'corrected' his mistake by playing the rook to c1, but Aronian didn't accept this change and claimed that his opponent had released the rook. The arbiter checked the video of the game, confirmed Aronian's version and Carlsen resigned immediately."
It's a different kind of cheating though, but it can also make the difference between a win and a loss.

The thing about Kasparov being a cheater is a bit exaggerated though, that story has been repeated time and again but there's still no reason to question Kasparov's statement that he didn't think the hand left the piece for that small fragment of a second it seems as if it did just that.
At least the quoted description makes it seem totally different, with Kasparov first dropping the knight on the square, then lifting the hand, then seeing the move wasn't good (it only drew), and after that taking the move back.
The difference between what Kasparov did and serious cheating a la Feller etc is quite big.

I think in this case the player might be innocent. Why would he awnser he had his phone with him and refuge to show it. I would think he was making a statement that looking into someones phone is a private mather.
However according the rules it is ok what happend and he is punished I guess. He should not been in that situation in the first place.
I think bringing your phone with you has some risks. If I play in a hotel I always leave it in my room. If it is a leagua game and you have to travel without accomodation then I bring it with me.
1 year 5 months ago
Perhaps FIDE should make a rule that limits players to leave the playing hall, say 2 times a game. It would make cheating difficult and is easy to implement.
1 year 5 months ago
Seriously? How do you think it is ok to look into someone's phone without reasons for some serious crime? There are tons of reasons I can think of why Bindrich does not want someone to look at his phone. Of course take his phone with him. But who would not take his phone with him when traveling to a league game?
1 year 5 months ago
Well since a phone is now a handheld grandmaster, you need to reconsider your feelings about players being allowed to carry them around during a game, and when going to an enclosed bathroom stall. Would you like to sit at a board for 6 hours in a tournament, while your opponent is freely allowed to consult a grandmaster at his leisure throughout the game?

Your location: Home > Fast Start Finance
At the Conference of the Parties (COP15) held in December 2009 in Copenhagen developed countries pledged to provide new and additional resources, including forestry and investments, approaching USD 30 billion for the period 2010 - 2012 and with balanced allocation between mitigation and adaptation. This collective commitment has come to be known as "Fast-start Finance" (FSF).
Following up on this pledge, the COP in Cancun, in December 2010, took note of this collective commitment by developed country Parties and reaffirmed that funding for adaptation will be prioritized for the most vulnerable developing countries, such as the least developed countries, small island developing States and Africa.
Further, the COP invited developed country Parties to submit information on the resources provided to achieve this goal, including ways in which developing country Parties access these resources by May 2011, 2012 and 2013.
At COP 17 Parties welcomed the fast-start finance provided by developed countries as part of their collective commitment to provide new and additional resources approaching USD 30 billion for the period 2010–2012, and noted the information provided by developed country Parties on the fast-start finance they have provided and urged them to continue to enhance the transparency of their reporting on the fulfillment of their fast-start finance commitments.

More lenses
Mount type
To provide photographers with a broader perspective about mobiles, lenses and cameras, here are links to articles, reviews, and analyses of photographic equipment produced by DxOMark, renown websites, magazines or blogs.
Tamron's latest 70-200mm f/2.8 is the first from the firm to feature image stabilisation (VC or Vibration Compensation, as Tamron calls it) and is now available in with a Nikon mount. After the Canon mount, read on to see how it performs on the high resolution Nikon D800.
Nikon has had an 80-400mm lens in its range for the past 13 years, which it has now updated. This is not just a bit of a tweak though; the new lens is sharper, better corrected for distortion and chromatic aberration and full of new technology. It is also heavier, bigger and more than 50% more expensive – so is it worth it?
Launched in February 2011, the Sigma 50-150mm f/2.8 EX DC APO OS HSM is a trans-standard zoom lens aimed at APS-C camera users. On these APS-C models, the crop factor of the sensor (1.5x on Nikon and 1.6x on Canon) makes it comparable to the 70-200mm focal length on a full frame camera, but arguably with an even more versatile length as they reach a little longer (225mm on Nikon and 240mm on Canon). Featuring a raft of specification acronyms, it promises high performance in a well-priced package, but does the reality live up to the billing?
Nikon's flagship medium range telephoto lens the Nikon AF-S NIKKOR 70-200mm f/2.8G ED VR II offers a versatile focal range, great features and top-class optical quality. Costing $2,400 it's an expensive option however, and notably with cheaper alternatives like the Sigma 70-200mm f2.8 EX DGH APO HSM II and Nikon's latest f/4 version, the AF-S Nikkor 70-200mm f/4G ED VR now on the market, is this top-of-the-range lens worth the extra money?
The annual CP+, or Camera and Photo Imaging Show, takes place in Japan, the heartland of the photography hardware industry. With new lenses covering wide-angle through to extreme super-telephoto and options for all the different Interchangeable lens mounts and camera systems, this year's show, seemed to be all about new glass for your cameras in 2013. We pick out and preview 11 lenses that caught our eye.
Launched in October 2012, this new lens from Nikon offers a lower cost entry point to the very popular 70-200mm focal length that finds a wide range of uses in everything from sports and wildlife to portraits and social documentary photography. Taking on many of Nikons newest technologies, does the reality match up to the promise?
Nikon expands its FX line for mid-range full-format DSLRs with the announcement of the new AF-S Nikkor 70-200mm f/4G ED VR telephoto — a lens long overdue.

Quite useless without comparison with Nikon 70-200 f/2.8G VR II
It's quite useless without comparison with Nikon 70-200 f/2.8G VR II which, surprisingly, has yet to be reviewed/rated by DxO. What's with the long wait, or worse, DxO do not intend to rate it at all? The Nikon 70-200 f/2.8G VR II is one of the most important lens used by professionals and others, so why no rating? Very, very strange.

Good remark, we knew that the 70-200 VR II was missing but we did not want to postponed the publication of the 70-200 f/4.
The 70-200mm VR II is already planed and is currently measured in our labs, measurement should be able in few weeks.

Sharpness as a function of camera
If you look at the sharpness of this lens for various cameras, you get:
D600: 18P-Mpix
D3X: 19P-Mpix
D800: 20P-MPix
D800E: 30P-MPix
I think that these results prove that there is something seriously wrong with the way you define sharpness. There is no way that D600/D3X and D800 are so close and D800E is so above.
For the D800/D800E comparison, I know that you compare the sharpness of the image without any sharpness applied to the picture. It is obvious that a camera with anti-aliasing filter needs (and can handle) more sharpening than a camera without one. Therefore, the comparison is not fair.
I stil don't understand why the D600 and D800 results are so close. It just does not match what you get when you compare a crop of a D800 and a crop of a D600 picture upscaled to 36MP.

Hi I have the 70-200 2.8 VRII course! assumptions and four steps is unmatched by other nikon lens, but does magic on their four steps must add good arm and photographic technique. is that I read the comments in various forums and it seems we buy a wand, if the same thing again, is not better photographer with better equipment, remember that the picture comes in our head and then goes to the sensor.

70-200 f/4 - incorrect detail
"Like its big brother, the 70-200mm f/4 is equipped with the latest generation of optical image stabilization for which Nikon announces a huge gain of 5 stops."
No, the f/4 does not have the same VR as the f/2.8. It has 'VR III' which Nikon claims gives 5 stops. The f/2.8 has VR II, claimed to give 4 stops (in other words, previous generation)

"Excellent quality and a delightful design. It was very helpful to have the variety of color combinations for the design and the options for the back side. I added photos and text to the back of my card. The coordinating envelopes and address labels were the icing on the cake. I also have to complement the excellent customer service! I couldn't be more pleased with the entire experience."
"Loved having the personalization and was able to put 3 pictures on the back while labeling them. So included the out-takes of the build up pictures prior to our final Christmas picture. It turned out great"
"I ordered several samples of different designs. While I like all the fun textures and shimmering details on many of the designs, this simple design ultimately was my favorite and final choice. The vibrant color is crisp and the details compliment our photos, while not overpowering them. This is truly striking in person."
