Customer Reviews
 | | If you don't mind carrying a ton of bricks with you, this is the lens for you. | August - 10 - 2010 | | |  by David Karner (D Karner) from All over, usa
I got this lens because I'm a beginner photographer who happens to be rich and irresponsible. I'm not that good at taking pictures, so I need every bit of help I can get.
This lens is great.
I look like a real pro.
The lens works great and takes good pictures. Very sharp and accurate.
| | | |  | | Wowzahs! | July - 31 - 2010 | | |  by Morgan Price from TX
A lot of "professional" photographers say they don't use mid-range zooms. Well la-dee-flipping-dah. I have found this zoom to be pretty much amazing, and having mostly used prime lenses, I love the ability to change from the moderate wide all the way to head-shoulders portrait range. There is some distortion at the 24mm range, but goes away quickly as you zoom. Personally, I like the opportunity to use perspective at that range anyway. I've heard there is some issue with "light leak" at 55mm and long exposures with the cap on and a bright light shining on the focus ring, but I have not found it to be an issue, though I've only had this lens for a month now.
It is:
Amazingly fast and accurate (especially on the D700);
Sharp, sharp, sharp;
A little heavy, but I am a fairly strong guy, so it doesn't bother me, even on long assignments;
Expensive - I can't imagine purchasing this if I didn't make money with photography, but hey, that's where I come from (cheap Asian family)
A "game changer" - combined with the D700, is disgustingly fast, and the colors are AMAZING.
It doesn't have VR, but since I only use it on the D700 with the Auto ISO threshold up to 6400 and minimum shutter speed at 1/60, I haven't really missed VR on this thing yet. Other people of course have different cameras and different uses, but for mostly wedding and event photography, this has worked fine for me.
I don't know much about Color Aberration, and I'm not the type-A kind of person that will go out and make a chart on the sharpness at each available focal length, but I can tell you that if you have the money to drop on this beast, you will be amazed, especially if you pair it with a higher end Nikon camera.

| | | |  | | Nikon 24-70 f2.8 lens is good, but..... | July - 21 - 2010 | | |  by Ken Barlow from Idaho
I have owned this lens for about three months. I have to say that for the money, it is just OK. Image quality is very good, but only if shot at f4 and above. It is not nearly as sharp as the 70-200 f2.8, which I also own and shoot at f2.8 all the time. I also have a specific complaint about focal lengths between 50 and 70mm - the lens is especially soft after you zoom past 50mm. I bought this for indoor shooting and need f2.8 more than any other aperture setting. To be honest, my 18-105VR kit lens gives this thing a run for the money (for lots less of it, too), with the 24-70 performing somewhat better only at apertures equal to or smaller than I can get anyway on my kit lens. It does do quite a bit better once you get to f5.6 and up, but who cares when you need f2.8 most of the time? At apertures smaller than f4 and focal lengths of 24-50mm, it performs admirably, but the range I need is the worst of the bunch. For a lens without VR to be this expensive and have the flaws mentioned, it is only an OK lens in my view. I actually tried 2 copies, the first of which was not only soft (more so than the second copy), but had a terrible amount of purple fringing when shot wide open. It had to be returned. The second was better, so I figured that was as good as it gets with this one, and kept it. It will still be useful when I have to have a fast lens at this focal length range, but it is a bit disappointing after getting such fantastic results from the 70-200VR. Great reviews made me believe that it was going to be comparable, but that is unfortunately not the case. Build quality is good (and the weight is hefty, too), so it should be built well enough for very demanding users. I may investigate other brands and sell this one down the road if I find a less expensive and equally good or better performing one, but will put up with it's weaknesses for now.
Update Aug. 2010: Still getting mostly the same results, with a bit of a bright spot...outdoor portraits look really nice at f4 and up. Contrast and clarity is better than my kit lens for this type of shooting. Still pretty disappointed in the performance indoors wide open, and getting mis-focus problems once in a while, too. Overall, still just a so-so experience for me. Will keep it for a while as I may upgrade to a higher end camera body and want to see if it performs better with the new camera than it does on my current cam (D90).
