AF-S NIKKOR 24-70mm f/2.8G ED

This being my very first professional lens, I have to say that it has exceeded my expectations. This is one superb lens.

This is an excellent lens. I use it as my ´´normal´´ lens. It is very sharp and fast. The biggest drawback is the size and weight. I wish Nikon could reduce both. That is the reason for 4 instead of 5 stars.

This is the best investment that I did. The picture´s quality is amazing: sharp and and very fast in the autofocus task; and if you know how to take pictures, I mean, manage the light, setup the camera body, the results are superb.

The only thing that I feel Nikon must consider to add, is the VR feature, but it is not a big concern.

I´ve used the 24-70 since it was released. For pros it is your standard 24-70 2.8 that can be your everyday lens. It is very sharp for a zoom and the focus is accurate. One major problem that I´ve had is the dust sealing. This lens is a dust magnet. I have sent it in once to be cleaned and a couple of months later it is already full of dust. Most dust won´t affect the final images but if you are shooting on solid backgrounds or outdoors with a solid sky you may be looking at a lot of retouching. For the price of this lens the weather and dust sealing should be much better. Still a good performer for a zoom.

This is an amazingly fast and sharp lens. Worth every penny. If I could only have one lens for weddings this would be it.

this is the lens and only lens I use for portraits. I love this one for people shooting

Buy this lens!

Aside from being well built, this lens is extremely sharp.I review the image files on my 21´´ Computer Monitor and they are, to say the least, outstanding. Pictures are very sharp and crystal clear (provided YOU do all your supposed to do to ensure a steady shot!).

You will be immediately impressed. It is worth the investment.

Have owned this lens for a year now...clear to the edges...versatile...great ´scapes to portraits...

I have been using this lens on my Nikon D300 for over a year and half and the pictures have been marvelous; my friends´ accolades say it all, pictures are sharp. Yes, the lens is very expenseive and quite heavy, but the picutes obtained are worth the price and weight.
