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

Had the the lens for 2 years and not a scintilla of a problem with it. It´s what´s always on the camera (D700) - no need for primes with this baby. Silky smooth telephoto and wicked fast autofocus. Lack of VR is not an issue. It can turn the most average shot into something much more. For anything within it´s focal range, this is your guy.

love this lens. so sharp. so sweet. i love the sharpness when im inside or out doing portraites. waited two years for this.

Best LENS I´ve ever used. It´s so fast it doesn´t even need VR. Built Quality is amazing and the weight just makes my camera body much much more AWESOME!

This was the first pro zoom I bought.It stays on my camera 85% of the time.Quick, precise and color rendition is fantastic.Build Quality is second to none.

I received my lens yesterday. I mounted that on my Nikon D7000 and I was really blown by the quality of the pictures. The size and weight as well as the build quality of the lens are just amazing. The focus is a breeze. I am really very happy with it and I don´t regret any dollar I paid for it.

This lens is built to last ..and is very sharp ...that is if you dont move an once !...For the price of this pro lens ...I sure wish it had V.R. ...we do not all have steady hands and the tripod is not always an option !

This is the first piece of a Pro Lens I´ve ever purchased. Clean, crystal clear, great color, fast. I tried a friends at church and put it on my D7000. I was blown away with her´s shooting a program we were doing. Her lens was at least 5 years old. I was so impressed I had to break down and get it for Christmas. Granted its expensive, but wow what a difference compared to the standard kit lens. Can´t wait to get a FX body.

This lens is tight, bright, sharp -- basically awesome in all categories. Don´t listen to anyone in these reviews on Nikon glass (or bodies for that matter -- I shoot a D600) complaining about weight (or size!). Those comments belong on the pocket-camera pages where it´s relevant. It´s kind of like buying a wicked-fast sports car and complaining the interior only seats two. The 24-70 is worth it´s weight in photographic gold.

I have this lens for more than a 1 years and it never gave me a disappoint situation. The focus is very good on low light, so is perfect to night photography, further is very beauty to take photos of waterfalls, landscapes, and others...Also this lens is extremely sharp, and I think it´s the best lens of Nikon for this propose.
