I'm happy with it, the price and the quality, I recommend to buy it.

Good glass for full frame. The quality of the picture is not much different from fixes. Justifies the "Golden Ring" from Nikon. Pros: Quite sharp, good color reproduction and picture, fast autofocus, solid construction, dust and moisture protection, good hood included, looks solid, assembly Japan. Got cons: Unpleasantly surprised - chromate in contrast, distortion by 24 mm. There are autofocus misses when shooting from short distances. At aperture 2.8, it blurs the edges. Pretty sharp bokeh…

Good quality product, the price is commensurate with the quality.

I buy only Nikkor optics and I don’t regret a drop, it’s better to save for a long time if there is no way to buy right away. so why spend 35000r is that little money? I put the original and forgot about everything! In the end, I recommend this lens to everyone. Take a look at it and you will understand what you paid for! Pros: Very sharp, instant focus, f2 / 8, in general, this is a gold ring from Nikkor. Has some cons There can be no drawbacks in this class of lenses. The only thing is the…

What you need, a cool purchase, I advise you.

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…

One of the best deals, glad I bought this.

After using it for two months, I realized only one thing. This is really a good investment. Very comfortable lens, fits well in the hand. You can conveniently control the zoom and manual focus rings) Tenacious autofocus) Constant aperture at f2.8) Pros: Convenient to use Conveniently placed focus rings High image detail Fast and silent autofocus Its cons: there is no venetting on the crop, which the owners of full-matrix cameras talk about. after 14 hours of shooting - really hands get…

The best price for such a product, I will buy more!

Sometimes it’s not possible to carry two cameras or rearrange the fixes, then it is this optics that helps out, EXCELLENT REPORTER, lightning-fast focusing speed, after a year of frequent use, the rubber bands are swollen, but it’s easy to treat :) Behaves great, both on crop and on FF, No stub! It does not tolerate movement, I personally like this glass very much !

Pros
  • Convenient set of focal lengths, Build quality is beyond praise
Cons
  • Heavy, but a matter of habit, healthy, likes straight arms!

Everything in the purchase suits, a very necessary product.

The purchase was forced. My workhorse died 16-85. I decided that if I replace it, then it's for the best. Reading the reviews on 24-70 inspired me. But it's one thing to read it, and another thing to try it yourself. After receiving the next day filmed the wedding. The first thing that pleased me was the speed and accuracy of focusing, including in low light. When I looked at the footage at home, I fell into a state of quiet euphoria. Optics pattern - my old lens never dreamed of such plastic…

Pros
  • sharpness, autofocus, constructive
Cons
  • not revealed yet. Weight and dimensions are not taken as disadvantages.

Good product, more pros than cons.

A good lens due to its versatility, I use it with the D800, the aperture allows you to shoot in rooms with average lighting without a flash on the FF camera, the focus is fast, but not always accurate. The focal lengths are boring, the wide angle is not so wide, you can’t shoot the architecture, the long angle is small, it doesn’t reach full-length portraits. In general, the reporting is glass, for quick fixation of events without frills. Bokeh at 2.8 is good only for facial portraits, in all…

Pros
  • Very fast focus Very sharp even at 2.8 Universal Aperture (for zoom)
Cons
  • HA climb at every opportunity boring bokeh Autofocus still sucks sometimes Poor quality manufacturing (two days later the rubber swells on the focal ring)

Matches the description completely, very satisfied.

Massive and apparently very strong metal construction with engraved numbers - the feeling is that it will outlive me. There is a slight falloff (dimming in the corners) on the FX matrix at apertures of 2.8-4 - but the proprietary software removes it easily and efficiently. An ideal lens for shooting reports, corporate parties, weddings, parties. For handheld shooting, you definitely need a hand strap: it significantly reduces trembling + hands get tired less / slower. Occasionally I touch the…

Pros
  • Silent and fast. Minimum distortion + high aperture = the lens easily replaces a bunch of "fixes" and "zooms" simpler. There was a feeling that it works with the D700 without chromatic aberrations at all - regardless of the shooting conditions. The lens is easy to sell - even with a minimum discount, it is torn with hands (used)
Cons
  • the weight

Revainrating 5 out of 5

I am delighted, the product is really worthy.

There were doubts, it took a long time to buy. But now I realized that the best glasses of the pro series with a good price for a good camera (D800) simply cannot be. And those who write that fifty dollars are driving - if out of 10 Chinese crafts for 300 USD. you will find a normal instance, flag in hand. Well, with what, and the sale of this used glass has definitely never been a problem. With a good carcass, the camera has an excellent grip, the focusing speed is excellent. Of course, in…

Pros
  • Super lens, real pro series! excellent build quality, MADE IN JAPAN, fast focus and exceptional sharpness
Cons
  • NO except price

I am satisfied, the purchase is quite successful.

There are a lot of soap reviews here. I got soap only after being wounded on the asphalt, which was later eliminated by the official ss Nikon. if you have any jambs with soap or back front tricks, bring your technique to the sc for fine tuning / adjustment. only in the office ss nikon there is factory equipment on which you will be assisted in any matter. I shoot weddings, in clubs and objects with this lens. I would like to have a more artistic picture at 2.8, but for this I have fixes. and…

Pros
  • Versatility, Sharp at all focal lengths,
Cons
  • a lot of dust gets inside, over time you have to change the rubber of the focusing ring, slight distortion by 24 mm.

Do not hesitate to buy, the quality is amazing for the price.

After the purchase, I do not want to shoot with any other lens. The price, of course, is high, but after the first shots you understand that the lens is worth the money. And even a solid weight (for a woman) is not depressing. I recommend purchasing a hand strap with a wrist support for SLR cameras, and then cervical osteochondrosis is not terrible for you :) An excellent reportage lens.

Pros
  • Fast, sharp, light. A very beautiful drawing. The quality of the pictures is pleasing. An impressive appearance, which, at times, is useful if you need to impress :)
Cons
  • Weight and size.

Revainrating 2 out of 5

The product disappointed, does not meet the promises.

So, everyone knows the pluses, I see no reason to duplicate messages, but I would argue even about the pluses! Minuses - 1), assembly, I’m a fairly experienced photographer, the camera is my second favorite toy after the PC, I didn’t understand a lot of lenses, in the literal sense, I completely sort out lenses if I find faults, for example, once in Tokin’s ATX pro 270 due to leather the case in which he lay for a long time got a fungus, oh yes, a nuisance, yes it happens, I had to spend a…

Pros
  • Back-covered resistance, bokeh resistance, autofocus speed and accuracy, center and edge resolution
Cons
  • Like everyone else, but for such a price it is doubly insulting!

A great option for this money, I definitely recommend it!

Again, because of this price, which is neither here nor there, you can’t buy this lens on the Internet. selling supported goods, because there it is supported anyway below 30.000r. it won’t cost, if I’m not mistaken, if the order value exceeds 1000 bucks, there is a tax or an extra charge (it doesn’t change the essence), as a result, such a lens can come supported for the same price as if you bought it new with a guarantee. Of course, there is an option, for flyers who are abroad, respectively,

Pros
  • 1. Fast (2.8 on the entire range) 2. Size (it will fit into almost any photo bag easily) 3. Nikkor (not some Tampon or Sigma) 4. Sharp (this is good news) 5. Hood made of thick plastic (you can immediately see a quality thing) 6. Fast (well, here and before me, this has been noted more than once) 7 Weight 8. For work and making money (in general, this is the most popular zoom lens from Nikkor, that is, I dare to say the best of the zoom lenses in their working ranges of 24-70 (again, these are not just my words, any professional working with Nikon will say that 60-70% percent he uses it, and then there are other lenses, respectively, in different percentages)
Cons
  • 1. Vignetting (although it does not always appear, usually at wide ranges of 24-35 and with a maximum aperture, with filters, vignetting is even more pronounced, but I repeat, it does not always appear, but very rarely, someone writes maybe because of the lens hood , maybe because of the filters, maybe because of the FF matrix, in general, as soon as I bought this lens I experimented, and V. appears without a hood and without filters, after a month or two I set up my D700 for myself, and this V. can to say it disappeared, I meet it extremely rarely, what exactly in the settings removed this V., it’s hard for me to answer this question, most likely Settings - Vignetting Control - Enhanced) 2. Price (well, obviously overpriced for the brand, they will come up with some kind of nano-spraying and raise the price of this garbage is unrealistic)

Great value for the money, definitely recommended!

I am not a professional. Perfectly sat on the D800. Before him there were 28-300 and 50 1.4G. As soon as I bought it, I started comparing it with 50 1.4G, through the camera screen, and even got a little upset, because. I didn't see any difference at the same aperture. An hour later I looked at the pictures on the computer, and there was no limit to the delight! I wanted to rub my eyes. It's not a difference, it's an abyss! I sold all the glasses, I use only 24-70, and I don’t need anything…

Pros
  • Very high quality picture. There is almost no difference with the fix. You take it in your hands, you feel the "thing"!
Cons
  • There are no disadvantages. But I want: a little lighter, and / or a little more authentic, and / or VR for longer exposures.

Good quality product, I rate this purchase excellent.

Finally, with the purchase of this lens, I was able to forget about the endless change of fixes on trips, getting the same sharpness throughout the frame. Tried analogues of other manufacturers - absolutely not the same. One lathers in the corners, the other blurs the focus in room lighting. Everything is perfect with Nikkor, under any conditions. Focuses instantly. Yes, the lens is heavy, but the image quality is worth it. As a summary, I can say that this lens is the best standard zoom on…

Pros
  • Sharpness, focusing speed, pattern, aperture, no HA, correct geometry at a wide angle.
Cons
  • weight, price. But you have to pay for quality.

A nice option for the money, one of the best deals.

Here in the reviews they write about soap . In the reviews on the German site photAmazon (available on in the reviews) we are looking for sharpness, everything is very intelligibly written in numbers about sharpness at different focal lengths depending on the aperture (actually there is not only about sharpness). Someone writes like this, having previously disassembled the lens (!): "Not for landscapes with a horizon line: he thinks along the edge on the right," - it is "thinks", - "At 50mm…

Pros
  • An excellent reporter, focusing speed, aperture, sharpness, picture, color reproduction, even bokeh on a long open one is pretty), a fairly convenient range for full-frame carcasses for travel and various walks). Distortion, chromaticity and vignette are perfectly treated in editors.
Cons
  • Zoom ring! I was far from the service, but after 2-3 days of intensive shooting, the jamming stopped (it was spinning very tight! With a rattle)), but for two years now there have been no problems at all). Balancing with the carcass is not very successful, it bites on the nose).

I'm happy with it, the price and the quality, I recommend to buy it.

I recently purchased this device, but happiness was not long. 3 days after the purchase, looking closely at the light, I saw blotches under the front lens, suspecting that it might be a fungus, I took it to the store. Before buying in a store, I tested 5 lenses, I got tired of testing the last one, a very large variation in quality (maybe there was such a batch). Ideally works with the D700, noticed not only by me =)

Pros
  • Sharp, good picture, minimal open hole chromatic aberration (compared to many Nikkor lenses), instant focus, dust and moisture resistant. I tend to think that the best standard zoom lens in its price range.
Cons
  • Size, weight, vignetting and very large distortion at 24mm.

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Completely standard product, nothing remarkable.

Firstly, this glass will not replace any fixes! - although for such a price you can get fixes of the D series of all focal lengths and get the best quality. Secondly, the weight of this lens is simply not supported by the quality of the output image, and this is even in the absence of dust / moisture protection. Thirdly, the design of this glass does not even resemble, but in fact copies, the same whale 18-55, which is not a plus, not to mention the fact that when the glass is lightly touched

Pros
  • Holds backlight well, AF speed, AF accuracy, resolution in the center and edges, small stroke of the focus ring is a plus for me, good bokeh no more no less, color reproduction at a height, reportage sharpness. The size of a lens with a lens hood can especially impress an inexperienced customer.
Cons
  • 50% plastic, terrible distortion, unreasonably large weight, uneven zoom ring travel. AF also has a minus if the focus is 25-30 meters ahead, it is mistaken and focuses on 10-12 meters (I did the adjustment). Unjustified price for such quality. Ha, for such a price they are terrible, but if you forget about the price, then they are quite tolerable in one color and are easily removed. The vignette at 2.8 is very noticeable.

The best thing for the money, Im glad I chose this option.

Complex feelings overwhelm me when I write about this lens . :)) On the one hand, it was he who raised the quality and artistry of my work to a new level. On the other hand. I was almost disappointed when, instead of the cropped D7000, I screwed it onto the full-frame D600. Because before (on the D7000) it was a great all-around portrait lens with an equivalent focal range of 35-105 (crop makes the picture look closer). Now I have transferred it to the category of "event" and "full-length…

Pros
  • - Big and Light :)) - Excellent bokeh (background blur) - Durable because Iron - With skillful handling, replaces a lot of fixes - Good geometry (distortion is almost invisible) - Price (it has fallen significantly over the past three years) - Recommended for: Studio/Advertising/Wedding/Nature/
Cons
  • - at aperture 2,8 still lathers the edges of the frame - longer than the zoom 28-300 (with the new carcass D600 does not fit into the old wardrobe trunk) - no VR stabilizer (for reporting on the run, this is very critical) - I can’t get used to the fact that the first ring is now focusing, and the second controls the zoom, on previous lenses it was the other way around . - it seemed to me that the stroke of the sharpening ring is too short for manual work (for example, for video recording) - if only he could add a focal length of at least 85 with the same hole . then he wouldn’t have a price at all :))

Best thing for the money, glad I did it.

fast fixes of correlated fr for artistic shooting are better suited (for example, 35 1.4, 50 1.2, 85 1.4. but that's what they are fixes for) 24-70 is perfect for reportage shooting, shooting weddings, when you can miss an important shot while changing lenses. yes, as an option to have two carcasses with different fixes - here it’s more convenient for someone. relatively large weight only on the hand - the camera will be more stable when shooting. and the size gives a lot of points to the…

Pros
  • `eternal` construct, the lens perfectly holds backlight, silent flying autofocus, nice manual focus ring, sharpness on an open hole, dust-moisture protection
Cons
  • price and not enough artistic bokeh.
