  • Stunning - like a bag of primes in a single lens
*: Black
Having shot Canon for years, I have several years of experience with the Canon 24-70 Mark I and 35L, in addition to numerous Nikon primes like the 85 1.4, 50 1.4 and 24 2.8 and the 17-50 DX zoom. At f/2.8, this is the sharpest lens of the bunch. This is the best standard zoom I've ever used. Build quality is exceptional. Full metal body - old school build with weight to match. The zoom mechanism is machined and feels like a precise, mechanical device. The focus ring is exceptionally smooth. The bayonet hood is large, well built and with a locking mechanism. It is very easy to mount. For a standard zoom, this is a large lens, but the smaller diameter make it very easy to handhold. AF speed and accuracy is absolute top tier - it is exceptionally silent and dead accurate. Speed is excellent - AF acquisition is virtually instantaneous. My copy is +/- 0 mAF on a d800. Low light AF accuracy is among the best I've ever used. Color is great - deep, contrasty and fully saturated. Sharpness is incredible - easily equal to any prime I've used. On the d800, with my usual sharpness settings, the images are almost too sharp. I've seen no coma or halation effects of note. Flare is well controlled, and contrast is maintained in difficult lighting. The bokeh is very good overall, and excellent for a zoom lens. The aperture is nine-bladed and out of focus elements are nicely rounded. For a lens this sharp, the bokeh was surprisingly good. Distortions are notable for CA and barrel at the wide end. Both are compensated when shooting JPG and are easily fixed when processing RAW data. The price is high, but affordable relative to the Canon 24-70 Mark II. The only fixed downside is the size and weight of the lens - it's not a subtle look. The trade off is worth it. Excellent lens ... show more

  • Outstanding piece of equipment
*: Black
UPDATED: 4/4/2011: This weekend was my new, and first Grandson's Christening. I had packed both the Nikon 24-70, as well as the 16-35VR F4. At the last minute I left the 16-35 at home and took only the 24-70. The darkened church was no match for the 24-70. I shot both with and without Flash (my Trusty Nikon SB-400), using bounce, never direct, and the church images came out fantastic!! They were sharp, and clear even at F2.8. Yes, of course some were blurry, or out of focus, that happens to everyone, but as I shot multiple images of the ceremony it was a piece of cake to nail the winners. I did not miss the 16-35's VR at all. Actually I feel bad I have this gorgeously sharp 16-35 sitting in my bag unused after having purchased the 24-70. Total images, between Saturday's dinner, Sunday's christening ceremony, then a party back at the house I popped off about 900 to 1100 images (1800 - 2200 if you include the fact I shoot a jpeg & raw together) with my D700 and the 24-70. I actually piggy-backed this personal event, with a paid gig at the same location which explains the high number of images. The 16-35 stayed in the bag the entire weekend. All I can say is I'm thrilled I had this lens to capture such a wonderful event successfully. As a matter of fact, after the ceremony I stayed behind after the family had left as the pastor asked me to shoot images of him and his family for use in a new church brochure and booklet to be printed soon. (I've shot events, mostly paid, at this church before so I'm well known here). Just wanted to update my review... I hope you find it helpful. Outstanding. Short and sweet. This lens hasn't come off my D700. Truly amazing and sharp. It's heavy, but very well balanced on my D700 and the battery grip. The lens shade actually clicks and locks on. I also own the fabulous 16-35 f4 VR, had it about a year and have already lost the lens hood. Everything about this lens has already been said. So I will just say that if you've been waiting to get one just do it. I was on the fence as I own as I've said the 16-35 and the Nikon 70-300vr zoom but this lens fills an excellent void in the gap between the 35mm and the 70. All in all I'm very happy with my purchase and can't wait to go shooting with it again. ... show more

  • Spectacular
*: Black
First a complaint about Amazon. My lens arrived "packed" in a larger box. The box was large enough that the Nikon box was bouncing around in it. The Nikon box showed the results of the bouncing. I'm sure (I hope anyway) that the lens didn't suffer as a result of all the bouncing around. The lens is all I thought it would be. Fast fast focus on my D3. Sharp all over. Colors are spectacular. Sharpness is as high as any lens I own and maybe sharper. Easy handling even tho, to me, the zoom ring is a little close to the body (same complaint I had about the 17-55). I love the thicker hood. It feels like you could drop it on it and it would provide some real protection. Upon receiving the lens I ran out back and started snapping pictures. Right off I could see the deep rich colors and sharp details. I know it's not a macro but this gecko liked posing for the camera so I got as close as the lens would let and snapped away while he posed for me. Zooming into the pictures you could see wonderful colors and rich details in the little fella. Oooh and aaahs from the family showing off the pictures. Very happy with the lens. Not so happy with Amazon shipping. Come on guys get it together and put a few peanuts or something in there to keep things from rattling around. ... show more
