Review on πŸ“· Nikon 35-70mm f/2.8D Auto Focus Zoom Nikkor Lens: For Nikon Digital SLR Cameras (Discontinued by Manufacturer) by Danny Poulin

Revainrating 5 out of 5

A wonderful lens at an affordable price.

I love this lens. As an amateur, I love the affordable, professional-quality FX lenses. Wanted 24-70 f2.8 but couldn't justify the cost. Then I bought this lens. I've been using this lens for 3 months and it has worked well with my D610 at all focal lengths. The picture quality is amazing and it's clear. Some people complain about blurring, but a few adjustments to the image's contrast and saturation sliders and you're done. Pros: Affordable, sharp, great IQ, fast focusing, good build quality (all metal), despite being a two-stroke lens, the lens doesn't sag (at least my specimen). Cons: a little heavy being all metal, noisy focusing but not unbearable, lens hood is practically useless so a filter is recommended if used outdoors. A little blur. The images I consistently shoot with this lens allow me to do minimal editing on my iPad Pro using only the free versions of Adobe PS Express, Lightroom and Photoshop Fix. I am happy with the results.

Pros
  • Nice packaging
Cons
  • Slightly torn
