For the price it should be recalled

Nikon should do a recall on this lens for the price I paid. There is a self fix on google, but you have to take the whole lens apart.
Pros:
  • great lens except for one big flaw
Cons:
  • The zoom sticks between 45-70mm

My favorite lens on my D810!

As a longtime Nikon owner, I have used Nikkor wide primes and zooms to varying degrees of satisfaction. But this time, I didn't want to compromise image quality over price. Before deciding on the 24-70 I also considered the 17-35 2.8.
Pros:
  • Consistent Output
  • Crisp Images Wide-open
  • Durable
  • Fast / accurate auto-focus
  • Low Lens Flare
  • Nice Bokeh
  • Rugged
  • Strong Construction
  • Well-balanced On The D810
Cons:
  • High Ca Near Edges

Best standard zoom I have ever used

Best standard zoom on the F mount by far (for FX) - only downside is the size and the price tag.
Pros:
  • Insanely sharp - f/2.8 - Weather sealed - Good bokeh - Very fast focusing
Cons:
  • - It's $1800 - Quite large for a standard zoom

Everything seemed to be in good working order so far

Everything seemed to be in good working order so far, I was a little disappointed that it was the older version. I am still working fulltime so I have had extra time to fully investigate.

Nikkor AF-S 24-70mm f/2.8G ED - Review / Test Report

The Nikkor AF-S 24-70mm f/2.8G ED exceeds the already very good performance of its predecessor. The center quality is nothing short of outstanding matching or beating the resolution of a 10mp APS-C sensor. The border quality is very good at large aperture increasing to excellent levels at f/5.6-8.
