No regrets!

"With a trip to Idaho and Montana looming, I had to decide on which lenses to get for my new D300. I wasn't sure whether to go the prosumer route or the pro route. I finally decided on the latter (you only live once). I'm happy to say I made the right decision. The 24-70mm is tack sharp and performed beautifully. Before the trip, I added a 14-24mm, and I've subsequently added a 70-200mm and a TC-14E II (another t..." Read Full Review »

Had to be repaired

"I think this lens took great pictures and the DOF was amazing for the short time I had it. But sadly I had to send it to nikon to be repaired. After only 3 weeks of use I noticed large dust specks through the back glass! also the lens zoom was not as smooth as I have read about. I got in touch with nikon and after I sent it in they agreed with me and are repairing it under warranty. Its sad that I paid so muc..." Read Full Review »

Sharp lens that captures beautiful color

"This is a sharp pro lens that can capture images with beautiful color as the eyes can see. It's heavy but balanced well on the D300. Focus is fast & silent compared to the 18-200 VR. The 24-70mm zoom range is quite usable on the D300. No VR but with excellent sharpness even at f2.8, it is not so …" Read Full Review »

Great standard lens

"24-70 is a nice overall lens, great for portraits without a need for a perfect bokeh!

Its IQ and sharpness pretty much equals to primes like 30 2.0 or 50 1.8. If you are looking for a great blurred bokeh, go for 80 and more.

All in all, I find 24-70 focal range on DX not as creative as wider o …" Read Full Review »

"I needed a medium zoom for the NYC Marathon and it hasn't been off my D300 since then. This lens is ultra sharp, fast focusing and is excellent in low light situations. Coupled with the D300 with attached grip, it feels natural in your hand. On a DX format body it's actually 36-105mm which is still …" Read Full Review »
