Nikon 24-70mm f/2.8G ED AF-S Nikkor Wide Angle Zoom Lens

Post Type

This is a must have lens. It replaces the so called “monster”, the 28-70 f/2.8 lens, which has bee in the pro photographer bags for years. This new 24-70 lens will give you incredible result at any focal length starting from f/2.8. If you shoot weddings you already have it, right? if you want to shoot weddings I’m going to tell you a secret: you can shoot an entire wedding with this lens, a pro camera and a decent flash like the Nikon SB 700

Together with the Nikon 70-200 AFS 2.8 you will have a PRO combination with lightning fast autofocus, constant f/2.8 aperture and great image quality.

I’ve been looking for this lens in the second hand market for a while, then I gave up and bought it new. If you can find it new for a good price buy it, you can use it for years and sell it for 70% of what you paid for.

Pros of this lens

  • Image quality
  • Autofocus
  • Constant f/2.8 aperture

It’s hard to find cons for this lens, it’s heavy, but glass is heavy and materials are solid and made to last, It’s also expensive, but this is a pro lens, you buy it because you know what you get.
