I have to admit, even though this lens received glowing reviews across the board, I had butterflies in my stomach considering a lens that after tax and shipping would be over ONE THOUSAND SEVEN HUNDRED DOLLARS. I mean, that's a heck of a lot of money for one lens! Could it really be worth it? I had just purchased a Nikon D700, replacing my old D80, and had found limitations with the DX format (chiefly low-light situations that required fast shutter speeds with no flash - read: indoor sports.) My experience with non-Nikon brand lenses was underwhelming. They did the job, but there was always "something" about them that didn't perform as well as the Nikon lenses I had purchased. Slow focus, loss of sharpness at edges, etc. Since my main mid-range lens was not a Nikon, and DX, I desperately needed an FX replacement. This is the only mid-range FX zoom lens that Nikon makes where the maximum aperture remains constant throughout its range (I'm not a fan of zoom lenses that have variable maximum apertures.) The bottom line is if I wanted a full-frame mid-range Nikon with constant max aperture, this is the only choice. I ponied up the dough, and I must say I am impressed. The images this lens produces are amazing, and the performance consistently reminds me that this lens costs as much as it does for a reason. It's construction is incredibly solid, and the zoom ring is very smooth as it's adjusted. Focus is super fast and is almost inaudible (great for wedding photos or any other event where noisy focus would be a distraction.) Under low light conditions and wide open this lens grabs images that my previous mid-range would easily fumble. The only reason I ranked the accessories at 3 stars is for a lens this expensive I'd at least expect the case it comes with to be a bit more protective. The top and bottom of the lens is held in place with open-cell foam, which is the same kind of foam just about any product ships with. Granted the open cell foam is a bit denser and is flexible, unlike styrofoam, but still. I would have expected at least dense closed-cell foam wrapped in some sort of material and stitched into the case. The foam blocks the lens is shipped inside the case with looks and feels like they're throw-away. I think most people at this level will wind up buying or already own a camera bag for bodies, lenses, and accessories, so this is kind of a moot point. In closing, this lens is really your only choice for a Nikon full-frame mid-range constant maximum aperture zoom lens at the time that this review is being written. I think at this price it's a fairly painful purchase, but if you want quality it's worth it.

UPDATED: 4/4/2011: This weekend was my new, and first Grandson's Christening. I had packed both the Nikon 24-70, as well as the 16-35VR F4. At the last minute I left the 16-35 at home and took only the 24-70. The darkened church was no match for the 24-70. I shot both with and without Flash (my Trusty Nikon SB-400), using bounce, never direct, and the church images came out fantastic!! They were sharp, and clear even at F2.8. Yes, of course some were blurry, or out of focus, that happens to everyone, but as I shot multiple images of the ceremony it was a piece of cake to nail the winners. I did not miss the 16-35's VR at all. Actually I feel bad I have this gorgeously sharp 16-35 sitting in my bag unused after having purchased the 24-70. Total images, between Saturday's dinner, Sunday's christening ceremony, then a party back at the house I popped off about 900 to 1100 images (1800 - 2200 if you include the fact I shoot a jpeg & raw together) with my D700 and the 24-70. I actually piggy-backed this personal event, with a paid gig at the same location which explains the high number of images. The 16-35 stayed in the bag the entire weekend. All I can say is I'm thrilled I had this lens to capture such a wonderful event successfully. As a matter of fact, after the ceremony I stayed behind after the family had left as the pastor asked me to shoot images of him and his family for use in a new church brochure and booklet to be printed soon. (I've shot events, mostly paid, at this church before so I'm well known here). Just wanted to update my review... I hope you find it helpful. Outstanding. Short and sweet. This lens hasn't come off my D700. Truly amazing and sharp. It's heavy, but very well balanced on my D700 and the battery grip. The lens shade actually clicks and locks on. I also own the fabulous 16-35 f4 VR, had it about a year and have already lost the lens hood. Everything about this lens has already been said. So I will just say that if you've been waiting to get one just do it. I was on the fence as I own as I've said the 16-35 and the Nikon 70-300vr zoom but this lens fills an excellent void in the gap between the 35mm and the 70. All in all I'm very happy with my purchase and can't wait to go shooting with it again.

I was a bit skeptical about all the positive reviews of this lens, after owning it for a month and using it frequently, I would have to agree with all the positive reviews of this lens. Yes, it's heavy in comparison to prime and consumer lenses, but this is light compared to 70-200 or 80-200/2.8. Construction is very good, AF-S focusing is quick and quiet, zoom is pretty smooth (definitely don't have issues here), and lens hood is heavy duty and included with the lens. Takes sharp and contrasty photos with my D700, though I have other lenses covered by the focal lenth of this lens, I use the 24-70mm unless I need a faster lens. Few things I didn't know about before purchasing this lens. 1) Lens will cause shadows with onboard D700 flash with hood (24-33mm with hood off) which will require me to buy an external flash (which I planned to do), very minor vignetting at 24mm wide open aperture (I notice it but not to the point where I would edit out), will focus very close (est 12-14") for almost macro territory, bokeh is surprisingly good, I don't feel the need for uv filter with the hood in place, lens is water resistant (similar to D700) and liking that I can shoot outdoors w/o having to worry about water getting into optics or electronics. Some may say it's a bit expensive for mid-range zoom, but it is money very well spent (at least for me). I'm glad that I could enjoy this lens now, than having to wish that I had this lens some five years from now. VR would be nice but unnecessary as D700 takes great photos at ISO 6400, the only way to make this lens better is to wish for a f1.4 version.

This lens has been out since 2007 and it's still an amazing choice today, in 2022! It's tack sharp and simply amazing for pictures so why did I send this back? The description and Nikon state that you can use this with their mirrorless cameras as long as you have the FTZ adapter and that is NOT necessarily true. Yes, you can use it for photos and it will work just fine but the moment you use it for video on the continuous focus mode, you are definitely going to hear the motor making adjustments and it will 100% ruin your video. I bought this lens for BOTH, video and images so when I heard the motor sound I was heart broken. lol If you are buying this for the mirrorless systems then just know that if you plan to use this for video, unless you ONLY use manual focus, then this will be an issue for you. I bit the bullet and ordered the same lens but for the Z system and I can officially say that I made the right choice. The 24-70mm 2.8 Z is silent as it should be on ALL modes and now that I have tried both you can see the difference and it's HUGE! The Z version is definitely sharper, colors stand out waaaay more and the contrast blows the F mount lens out of the water. Let me also say, I do make money from my images and videos so for me the upgrade will definitely pay for itself but if you are on a budget, don't plan to do much video and can't decide which one to go with? Save your $$$ and order the F mount lens.

While this is a great lens and super sharp. I don't use it as often as my 50mm or 85mm for now and I hope my general reviews of the various lens and how I use them will help you find the right lens for the right situations for you. In summary, this is how I feel and use my lens today and maybe this will be helpful when you are looking at what to get. * AF-S 50mm f/1.4: Great for infants and walk-around lens on the street. I use this lens most of the time for infant pictures because 1) I don't want to use flash when infants have their eyes open even if I have a softbox/umbrella. 2) lightweight 3) low light performance at f/1.4. I also uses this when I'm out of the house because it's not in-you-face when you pull it out of you bag so people won't notice you. This lens also makes me move around a bit to be more creative vs. just zoom in and out. 50mm lens makes me think more about the shots. * AF-S 60mm f/2.8 micro: Great macro lens: I use this for very close up shots. I can get as close to less than an inch away even though the minimum focal length isn't listed as being 1 inch away. You will want good lighting since flash will be useless when you are this close to the subject. I take photos of baby lips, eyes, face, hands and feet, & other objects such as jewelry * watches. Basically any fairly stationary subjects that I want to highlight the details and intentional imperfections/wrinkles, etc. I sometimes wonder if I should use this all the time instead of my 50mm but I find the 50mm better at non-macro shots because it focus faster and lets in 4 times more light. * AF-S 85mm f/1.8 : I use this most of the time for adult portraits and it has very good low light performance as well. I choose this over the f/1.4 version because the other reviews I've read on the web did not justify the extra $1000 spend for marginal performance improvement and unless I am getting paid to take pictures all the time, I don't see the need to pay the extra cost for the f/1.4. This lens also makes me move around a bit to be more creative vs. just zoom in and out. * AF-S 24-70mm f/2.8: I use this when I just don't know what kind of pictures I could be taking and need to have zoom & I don't have to move around as much. While I don't take landscape pictures (24mm) often, I will use this for a large group outing, birthday parties when I may need to get a wide shot of a lot of people in a room and be able to have a little bit of zoom capability and not have to walk up so close to the people's face. This allows me to get some candid shots when needed. It's fairly heavy at 2 lbs and huge when you put on the hood so I almost never use this lens when I'm on the street because it attracts a lot of unwanted attention. I wouldn't want this hanging on my neck or shoulders for a long period of time. * AF-S 70-200mm f/2.8 vr2 : This is one of my favorite lens only because I can use it for portraits as well (with some lighting support) and I can get really good candid shots since I can be much farther away 10-20ft from my subjects and able to get a nice picture. I do have to crop at times to get rid of the cluttered background but with the D600 camera, I have enough megapixel details to crop my pictures when needed. This is obviously a monster lens so I avoid taking it for street photos even though I've had some nice pictures and experiences on the street but it's so big... I've had people stopping me asking me if I'm a paparazzi and which celebrity I am stalking..... haha. It's almost over 3 lbs so I definitely wouldn't want this hanging on my neck or shoulders for a long period of time. * AF-S 70-200mm f/4: this is also a great lens and a fantastic alternative to the 2.8 version. At over $1000 less, this is a bargin and great lens if you're taking photos at good lighting conditions (outdoor, have flash or good indoor lighting). Otherwise it may be problematic for you at F/4.

Construction quality: Although I've read that the lens a all metal it doesn't feel like it. It feels very well together and I'm pretty sure its hard as hell, but touching the barrel seems like plastic instead of metal. I have the 80-200 AF-D and thats a lens that feels like a tank. The lens has a little bit of zoom creep so try using the hood always. I've hit the hood a couple of times now so I would have hit the lens if it wasn't in place. The hood is attached to the body of the lens instead of the zoom itself so it doesn't move. Ease of use: Autofocus is perfect to say the least. Taking pictures of my 2 years old running on a park at any focal length, even wide open, made his eyes always sharp and in focus. The only problem that I see is that the zoom ring is close to the camera and it feels awkward when using it horizontally, with the D90 and the battery grip; you hand will hit grip that way. It doesn't bother but simply noticing means that it's a little bit out of place. You can focus really close with lens so thats a plus. Picture quality: Colors are vibrant and its very contrasty (it doesn't look washout with shooting RAW for instance). Flare is almost non existent. Sharp all over the place even wide open; its difficult to tell the difference between 2.8 and 5.6 for instance (except for the DOF). Bokeh is very pleasant considering its zoom range. Heavy: I'm used to the 80-200 2.8 AF-D lens and I was surprised when I first lifted the lens. Is not as heavy as they say. Its very comfortable to handle this lens, with a D90 and its battery grip. Conclusions: I fully recommend this lens and I see myself shooting with it 95% of the time. Its wide, but not too wide, and has zoom, but not extreme, which translates in a good performer for everyday use (specially indoors). Its superior Autofocus system makes pictures always sharp and color rendition makes photos pop without too much tinkering in post-processing.

At First Glance: This lens was a bit smaller then I had thought it would be. This is a blessing as I travel allot and every ounce helps when you are carrying it all day. Build: Ok so this is not a cheap lens nor is it extremely expensive. The quality matches that of the 70-200mm and it obviously is built with the same care and quality material. It feels solid and the focus is smooth and a pleasure to use. Image: Well it is near perfection. I am unable to see any distortion (there obviously is as with any lens but I mean to say that I cannot see it using normal methods). The bokeh is nice and even and the focal length is about perfect for portraits and some architecture shots. I do not see any vignetting (I used it on the D300 which is a DX camera so I cannot attest to its performance on an FX camera). The lens is well balanced on the D300 and it is a joy to shoot. When do I reach for this lens? When I want an intimate portrait. When I want a still life shot. When I want a architecture shot. When I want a photojournalism (referring to street photography) Overall: This lens stays on my camera all the time. I also have the 70-200mm VRII which is great as well but because of its size and weight I only pull it out when I plan to use it. This means that the majority of my shots (around 60%) are shot with this lens. It is easy to carry, fast f2.8 gives me a broad range of application and its image quality assures be a excellent quality picture each and every time. The only draw back is that it does not have Vibration Reduction technology. I have read plenty of arguments why it is not needed and I tend to agree most of the time. A 70mm longest focal range is not enough to justify VR technology for most people. But there are occasions when it would be nice to have. I also believe that Nikon will be replacing this lens soon. What remains to be seen is if they can improve it any. I decided not to wait and see but to get my hands on what I consider to be some of the finest glass that Nikon has made.
