Having spent a significant amount of time shooting live music with the Nikon 70-200 f/2.8 VR II, we decided to field test Nikon's smaller, lighter (and not to mention, cheaper) telephoto, the 70-200 f/4 at the Light of Day charity concert in Asbury Park, NJ.

The images that follow were all shot using a Nikon D4. Due to the low-light environment, they are all shot at f/4. Slight exposure and white balance adjustments were made where noted in Adobe Lightroom 4. All of the images were also converted to sRGB in Adobe Lightroom 4.

Tech Specs: ISO 12800, 1/200 sec, f/4.
Focal Length: 122mm.
Processing: Slight exposure adjustment and color temperature adjustments made.
