Nikon's latest wide aperture standard zoom costs £1219 and sports features such as Internal Focusing and Nano-Crystal coatings.

Excellent central resolution throughout the focal length range

Corner quality could be better; Size – it is a long lens

Handling Thanks to its length and weight, the review lens felt nicely balanced on the Nikon D3X body we used for our tests. The zoom movement was positive and even throughout the focal length range.

You want close-up versatility and performance; You need a compact; lightweight lens

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...

Simply the best

Expansive; Seems that Nikon does not use that word

Great FX lens for any event. This is my 2nd f2.8 24-70 mm . The first one stays on my D700 and the new one will be used when needed on my D3X. You will never go wrong with this lens. Another great lens I use that gets no ink is the Nikon f2.0 105 DC. All I can say about this lens is WOW![...

I bought this lens along with my Nikon D800 since I needed a FX lens in this range of focal lengths. Although it is missing the VR that the newer version had, I found that buying this lens slightly used was of great value to me.

Excellent people. Had some issue with my product they work with me very promptly and professionally to fix it. Would buy again from them, waiting for them to have d800.

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...

Well made; super fast; sharp; nice balance on pro dslr

expensive; but worth it
