  • Outstanding piece of equipment Outstanding piece of equipment
Color: Black
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. ... show more

  • Serious lens for serious shots
Color: Black
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. ... show more

  • Always on my camera
Color: Black
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. ... show more

  • Nikon 24-70mm compared to Sigma and Tamron Offerings
Color: Black
I had the opportunity to compare this lens to the Sigma HSM 24-70mm, the Tamron 28-75mm, and the Nikon 17-55mm 2.8. The Sigma HSM was an amazing lens that took amazing photos and whose image quality is definitely comparable to Nikon. But where the Sigma lacks is if you zoom to 70mm and open up to 2.8. In such instances the bokeh quality is displeasing. That is the only negative I encountered with the Sigma. Regarding the Tamron, it had some focus issues that were evident at 2.8, but is a great price. You can possibly adjust the lens and fix this issue. Quality is also superb. I found the build quality of both the Sigma and the Tamron to be good for any consumer. Of course if this is your full time job then you might want to consider the Nikon. Now in regards to the Nikon, you get what you pay for. Flawless Image Quality throughout. It gives absolutely stunning photos. It is a long and heavy lens, but not a deterrent by any means. The weight is manageable and worth it considering the quality that you get. I shoot with a D90, and found the zoom range to be more appealing than the Nikon 17-55. I find the long end to be better for Indoor Portrait Shots. If price is not an object, then this lens is the way to go. If price is an issue, I would get the Tamron. The Sigma is as good as the Nikon as long as you don't shoot at 70mm and 2.8. ... show more

  • Great lens, but I'm spoiled by other low light 50mm and 85mm unless you want a very good zoom lens for the focal range
Color: Black
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. ... show more

  • Stunning - like a bag of primes in a single lens
Color: Black
Having shot Canon for years, I have several years of experience with the Canon 24-70 Mark I and 35L, in addition to numerous Nikon primes like the 85 1.4, 50 1.4 and 24 2.8 and the 17-50 DX zoom. At f/2.8, this is the sharpest lens of the bunch. This is the best standard zoom I've ever used. Build quality is exceptional. Full metal body - old school build with weight to match. The zoom mechanism is machined and feels like a precise, mechanical device. The focus ring is exceptionally smooth. The bayonet hood is large, well built and with a locking mechanism. It is very easy to mount. For a standard zoom, this is a large lens, but the smaller diameter make it very easy to handhold. AF speed and accuracy is absolute top tier - it is exceptionally silent and dead accurate. Speed is excellent - AF acquisition is virtually instantaneous. My copy is +/- 0 mAF on a d800. Low light AF accuracy is among the best I've ever used. Color is great - deep, contrasty and fully saturated. Sharpness is incredible - easily equal to any prime I've used. On the d800, with my usual sharpness settings, the images are almost too sharp. I've seen no coma or halation effects of note. Flare is well controlled, and contrast is maintained in difficult lighting. The bokeh is very good overall, and excellent for a zoom lens. The aperture is nine-bladed and out of focus elements are nicely rounded. For a lens this sharp, the bokeh was surprisingly good. Distortions are notable for CA and barrel at the wide end. Both are compensated when shooting JPG and are easily fixed when processing RAW data. The price is high, but affordable relative to the Canon 24-70 Mark II. The only fixed downside is the size and weight of the lens - it's not a subtle look. The trade off is worth it. Excellent lens ... show more

  • A must-have lens
Color: Black
Before buying the 24-70, I would read all of these wonderful reviews and think, "how good can a lens really be?" After getting and using the lens on my D700, I can hands-down say this is the best lens I have ever used. The color is as close to perfect as anything I have ever seen. The focus speed is stunning. The bokeh is very nice. The sharpness is better than my Nikon 50mm/1.4G at any aperture. Of course the 1.4G beats the 24-70 in very low light, but only by a little (and not enough, IMO, when the DOP loss is considered). Net-Net: All the glowing reviews are dead-on. And, of all the standard zoom ranges, this is probably the most useful. If you have a D3/D700, I'd call this lens a must-have. For a D300,D90, etc., you would sure not be disappointed either. If you are on the fence between the lens and an assortment of primes in the same range, I'd highly recommend giving this zoom a try instead. Being an owner of both primes over the same range and this lens, I can foresee the itch to sell the primes. This lens will stay on the D700 with only brief breaks for the 14-24 and maybe the 70-200 (when the color performance of the D700 is needed over the D300, otherwise the cropping factor of the D300 causes the 70-200 to find that body as home most of the time). ... show more

  • Not As Large as a 70-200 Not As Large as a 70-200
Color: Black
The auto focus on my D-750 is snappy and substantial. My subjects are usually landscape,still life and portraits,therefore take that into consideration when speaking of auto focus. The color and character of the prints that this lens produces are distinctive. It produces that" don't know what it is" quality about the images. I was surprised at the size.I have used the Tamron 24-70, which is a very nice lens, but I found that while it was somewhat compact for that length,it's diameter is large and awkward. The Nikon 24-70 is longer than the Tamron but narrow in circumference,making it much easier to hold. It is not so large that you need image stabilization.With proper technique,images are very sharp. I have reviewed and thought about this lens for quite some time. As stated earlier I have used other 24-70 lens from Tamron and also Sigma and there has always been something about them that just wasn't right for me. I really like this focal length for travel and for general purpose. I am so pleased with the images,size and quality of this lens. I love it. It is currently the most used lens in my bag. i recommend it. ... show more
