Review on Nikon AF-S FX NIKKOR 24-70mm f/2.8G ED Zoom Lens: Ultimate Auto Focus for Nikon DSLR Cameras by Sakata Iori ᠌

The lens is expensive, but it is quite capable of replacing the line of discrete, "screwdriver" lenses, which, in fact, pays for its purchase. Super-speed and super-convenience - these are the components of super quality that only real Japanese technology can provide. And this lens honorably provides this to its customers. Got pros: Made in Japan. Instant and precise focusing, solid construction. Great bokeh. This lens is many times more convenient than the Canon EF24-70L USM. The lens is perfectly tuned at the factory and if you want to use it on an old film SLR, you will not have problems with focus. Has some cons Contrary to the proclamations on the subject of nanocrystalline coating, the lens is able to bring a number of unpleasant surprises when shooting against the sun. It works better in the near field than in the far field (All focal lengths have a field of sharpness curvature, in which the sharpness of the edges of the image is closer to the viewer than the sharpness of the center) Because of this feature, using the lens on a crop is even more justified than on a full frame. Aperture only partially changes the situation.
