The Nikon 24-70mm is a professional zoom lens of the very best quality and represents everything that a very good DSLR lens should.

Its all metal design and pleasurable damping of the zoom ring make it a joy to operate for photographers who admire the finer aspects of a well made lens.

This lens is best suited to full frame Nikon FX bodies like the D3, but those photographers utilizing DX bodies will also be able to use this lens. Of course, DX body owners will see the focal length improve by 60% which has both good and bad points.

I say bad because the wide end of the lens becomes 36mm instead of 24mm which is not really that wide when you think about it. On the other hand, the 70mm end becomes 105mm which is an effective, if not telephoto, focal length.

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

A few Nikon enthusiasts have complained that the 24-70mm does not have a vibration reduction (VR) element, however it must be said that vibration reduction is less important in a 24-70mm lens plus the highest aperture of f/2.8 makes it easy to hand hold most of the time.

Another thing I should 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 placed in a relatively strange position - perhaps because Nikon expects that most photographers will use the lightning quick auto focus system and not bother with the manual capability.

Consequently and when you enjoy using manual focus, you may find that the position of the manual focus ring requires some getting used to.
