I ordered this lens but returned it.. It's a brand new lens but it's gray market and overstock doesn't state that on web page... Customers need to be notified that lens isn't a us model meaning no warranty coverage from Nikon...

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.

great lens except for one big flaw

The zoom sticks between 45-70mm

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.

Consistent Output; Crisp Images Wide-open; Durable; Fast / accurate auto-focus; Low Lens Flare; Nice Bokeh; Rugged; Strong Construction; Well-balanced On The D810

High Ca Near Edges

Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Consistent Output; Durable; Easily Interchangeable; Fast / accurate auto-focus; Nice Bokeh; Rugged; Strong Construction

Heavy; High cost

Best standard zoom on the F mount by far (for FX) - only downside is the size and the price tag.

Insanely sharp - f/2.8 - Weather sealed - Good bokeh - Very fast focusing

- It's $1800 - Quite large for a standard zoom

It is highly recommended for someone who is interested in professional performance.

Great colour; sharp; amazing optics; responsive; it has a solid build; feels like quality in your hand

Very big and a the pictures are a tiny bit over saturated; and there is no VR reduction

I have purchased two of these for use in the studio and for outside portraits. we shoot alot of pictures- mainly seniors - and they have performed up to expectatins.

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.

This is an in-depth review of the Nikon 24-70mm f/2.8G ED lens that was released back in August of 2007 together with the 14-24mm f/2.8G ED lens. I have owned a number of different copies of the Nikon 24-70mm for many years, pretty much from the day the lens was announced and I have probably spent...

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.
