I don't understand why people rate this lens so low but this is the best mid-zoom lens from NIKON ever. Yes, it's expensive but it's worth every single penny if you can afford it. Using this with my D7000 and it works just perfect and picture quality is blowing my mind!!!

"This is not a light lens. I found a black rapid shoulder strap was a necessity when this is on my camera. The balance on a D600 is good but improved with a battery grip. That said, I took it to Havana recently and was quite pleased with it's versatility for street photography.

I have a D5100 with the 18-55mm kit lens, bought this as an extension to the kit lens and I\'m happy I did. The AF is quieter and faster than the 18-55mm kit lens. I’ve taken a lot of pictures with this lens and even at 300mm the pictures are extremely sharp (see attached pictures).

Great glass! Fast and quiet. Worth every dollar! You'll see things in a different way, this lens makes things like composition easier, subject more important than hardware. Makes you shoot better....

Clear, bright, fast; You'll not worry about gear

This is my latest Nikkor purchase of a long line of Nikon products since my first Nikon F in 1964. As one would expect from a lens with these specifications (Nikkor, F2.8G, ED, N) this lens affords fast and accurate focusing, excellent Depth-O-Field control, and incredible sharpness; edge to edge.

This lens works great with my D700 for low light wedding photography. The bokeh is great at 2.8 and the autofocus is fast as can be. I recommend only using this lens with a full frame camera. I occasionally put it on my D90 but the results are not the same. Overall, I am happy I got this lens.

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.

I purchased this lens prior to going on vacation in Hawaii. My purpose for buying it was that I was having great difficulty in the past with photographing luaus, lava tubes and other lowlight events.
