The Nikon 24-70mm Is A Great General Purpose Zoom Lens And Suitable For Full Frame Nikon Bodies

The Nikon 24-70mm is a professional zoom lens of the highest standard and represents everything that an exceptional DSLR lens should.

Its all metal design and pleasurable damping of the zoom ring make it a joy to use for photographers who recognize the finer points of a nicely made lens.

This lens is best suited to full frame Nikon FX bodies like the D3, however those photographers utilizing DX bodies will also be able to use this lens. Certainly, DX body end users will observe the focal length increase by 60% which has both good and bad points.

I say bad because the wide end of the lens becomes 36mm as opposed to 24mm which is not really that wide when you think about it. Then again, the 70mm end becomes 105mm which is a practical, if not telephoto, focal length.

Perhaps the very best things about the Nikon 24 70 lens are the superb image sharpness through the range and wide open aperture. Be cautioned however - you will pay for this excellent optical capabilities.

Some Nikon fans have complained that the 24-70mm does not have a vibration reduction (VR) factor, but it should be said that vibration reduction is less significant in a 24-70mm lens plus the maximum aperture of f/2.8 makes it uncomplicated to hand hold most of the time.

Another thing I have to point out in this Nikon 24 70mm lens review is that the positions of the zoom ring and the manual focus ring. The manual focus ring has been positioned in a slightly unusual position - possibly because Nikon anticipates that most photographers would use the lightning quick auto focus system and not bother with the manual function.

In consequence and if you like using manual focus, you may find that the placement of the manual focus ring requires some getting used to.
