Pro quality glasses, great color rendition, super fast autofocus, built like a tank and yet compact in size. Also, love the close up portraiture bokeh at 70 mm focal point thanked to its 9 rounded blades. Decent sharpness at F2.8 but super sharp by F5.6 thru F11. Overall, a pro quality tool that comes with a price but monies well spent.

I bought twice. The first time everything was fine, the second time it was not a good experience, the lens is very used, it has many marks of use. and the accessories are not what they describe. Too bad, I wanted to continue shopping but they didn't leave a good experience.

There isn’t a lens a lens that is just perfect at every single scenario.... but this one comes pretty close! It is a tank. Super well built, so it can’t take a lot of damage. It is also super precise if you have to use the zoom ring and it simply always works! The focus is very fast and precise. Picture quality is pretty close to perfect. It almost performs as good as a prime, and it is sharp corner to corner. A bit of distortion if that concerns you, but the best part about this lens is its constant output. The pictures look sharp regardless of focal length or aperture setting. That makes it very reliable, especially for a professional photographer. Yes it is a bit bulky.... only if you compare it to other lenses of its same focal length, but a small price you have to pay for the reliability of this lens. Speaking of low price, although this lens was overpriced at the beginning, since the release of the VR version, this one has dropped in price dramatically and for what I heard it is not as good as this one ;-) You won’t be disappointed if you don’t mind spending the money on it. It’s also a phenomenal travel lensRead full review

If only lens buying is based solely on rational decision then this is the lens to buy if you can only buy one lens. It provides a fast maximum f/2.8 stop for most shooting situations indoor and outdoor with an infinitely useful focal range from the 24 mm wide angle to the mid range 70mm. It's a great general purpose lens for everyday use if there's ever such a general photography category.

Cons: 1. Durable metal structure with sophisticated craft 2. Excellent focus speed and accuracy 3. Versatile for multiple purposes with good sharpness Proc: 1. Comparing with 24-70 from other manufacturers such as Canon and Tamron, the sharpness of this lens decays more significantly from center to edges. 2. Not good at Distortion and Vignette control 3. No VR Although Nikon has already published second generation 24-70 with useful new feature "VR" and some tech specs of this lens are outdated, I still highly recommend the old one rather than the new one. Actually I didn't see any dramatic promotion but bigger size, more weight and plastic structure in the exchange of "VR". With all due respect, I don't think new 24-70 is a proper "Marketing Positioning" for zoom products. All in all, it is a cost effective "multi-function" zoom lens to have in ur bag. And if u don't understand what is "multi-function" and keep asking questions like" Is it as good as a 50mm prime lens, I will definitely recommend u to go back to learn from the beginning...Read full review
