Nikon AF-S 24-70mm f/2.8G ED Review

Nikon's brand new 24-70mm zoom is one of those lenses that has a ridiculously long list of credits in its specifications. The official name indicates only a professional G-series design and the use of extra-low dispersion glass but its subtitle (written on the underside of the lens barrel) adds...
Pros:
  • Blisteringly quick and precise AF
  • MTF is consistently high
Cons:
  • Lens shadow cast by pop-up flashgun at wide-angle settings

I bought this lens initially for my D200 but it was in anticipation of acquiring a D3 which I now own. On the D200 it was amazing at the telephoto end but of course a disappointment on the wide angle side. On my D3 it's a real dream. It's relatively light for a fast lens.

Great Lens

This lens is awesome, it has become the lens that is on the camera most of the time because of it's "just right" range. It is pricey, but you know you get what you pay for. Best Buy is a good place to buy it because they are an Authorized Nikon Dealer so it comes with the USA warranty, they offer...
Pros:
  • Well made
  • super fast
  • sharp
  • nice balance on pro dslr
Cons:
  • expensive

Since I have bought this lens in 2008, I have been just blown away by its autofocus speed. This remarkable lens is superb as an all around lens, a bit heavy but I compensated by getting a power grip to counteract its weight and its balance.
Pros:
  • It's very sharp, plus its nano coating its a great bonus
  • For its price I recommend a lens filter to protect the front element
Cons:
  • Please use a power grip to counter balance its weight and holdability

Favorite lens

This is one amazing lens. The prize tag is high but I find it to be worth every penny that I have to work to own it. The focus is fast and the shots are sharp even in low light and even without the long reach I can crop without much loss.
Pros:
  • Consistent Output
  • Durable
  • Easily Interchangeable
  • Fast / accurate auto-focus
  • Nice Bokeh
  • Rugged
  • Strong Construction
