This really is a super lens as a standard zoom, it's wonderfully fast 2.8 aperture allows so much flexibility for low light work, portraiture and so much more. It has fabulous sharpness through all focal lengths even when operating at its maximum aperture and it's super fast internal focus is a joy to use. If there is a negative it isn't a light lens particularly when hung off one of the pro Nikon bodies such as my D3X, but as someone who is used to lugging a 300mm 2.8 around this is a minor downside for such a great optic.

I bought this lens with no great expectations. A second hand lens is never going to be as good as a brand new one and I was not surprised when the results were ever so slightly soft. The condition is excellent but the end product is everything with a lens and I got what I paid for.

This is great zoom lens by Nikon producing sharp photos with a very useful focal lenght If weight and size is an issue for you, I would suggest borrowing or renting one, walking around and then decide whether this lens is for you. The lens are quite heavy and bulky.

I took my time and read a lot of articles on fast wide zooms before deciding on this lens. As a wedding/ commercial photographer, I needed a lens that would meet the needs and rigours of the job. So far, I have no complaints - it does exactly what it should and produces images of superb quality. Is this lens for everyone? Not necessarily, justifying the cost depends upon your personal circumstances and needs (is it the only lens that meets your photographic requirements and do you need to have an aperture of f2.8?), also the rugged build quality makes it heavier than cheaper lenses which may put some people off carrying around all day if on holiday. For the same reason that I love my D3, I like the solid assurance and feel that you get with a pro lens - whatever your requirements, you just know you will get good results.Read full review
A friend of mine had this lens and suggested it to me as "one of the best, if not the best, out in the market". The all the way f/2.8 was the most important feature, the cherry on top of the cake, that made me decide to go for it - and I'm really happy I did. I have combined it with the D300S body I own and use it in everything I do - from weddings to my own experiments. The 24-70 zoom is enough to satisfy most needs and makes it a great lens for both portraiture and landscape photography. The only negative may be the total weight of the body-plus-lens. I'm a pretty thin and muscle-free girl, so after a day of shooting I end up unable to properly use my arms the next day! Even so though, I still recommend it 100%. If you are guy, don't even think about it, just go for it. If you are a girl, stand still and think about it for a second; then stop thinking about it and go for it!!Read full review
