The
Nikon 24-70mm is a professional zoom lens of the highest overall quality and represents everything that a reliable DSLR lens should.
Its all metal design and pleasurable damping of the zoom ring make it a joy to use for photographers who appreciate the finer points of a well made lens.
This lens is best cut out for to full frame Nikon FX bodies like the D3, however those photographers utilizing DX bodies will also be able to use this lens. Certainly, DX body users will see the focal length increase by 60% which has both good as well as bad points.
I say bad because the wide end of the lens becomes 36mm rather than 24mm which is not really that wide when you think about it. Then again, the 70mm end becomes 105mm which is a useful, if not telephoto, focal length.
Perhaps the best things about the Nikon 24 70 lens are the superb picture sharpness through the range and wide open aperture. Be cautioned however - you will pay for this excellent optical performance.
Some Nikon enthusiasts have complained that the 24-70mm does not have a vibration reduction (VR) component, but it should be said that vibration reduction is less significant in a 24-70mm lens and the maximum aperture of f/2.8 makes it easy to hand hold most of the time.
One other thing I must point out in this Nikon 24 70mm lens review is that the positions of the zoom ring and the manual focus ring. The manual focus ring has been positioned in a rather unusual position - perhaps because Nikon thinks that most photographers would use the lightning quick auto focus system and not bother with the manual function.
As a result and if you enjoy using manual focus, you might find that the placement of the manual focus ring requires some getting used to.
