- Is this lens worth it over the 24-70mm f/2.8E VR?
- The VR version adds stabilization and a slightly better optical formula but costs more and is also heavy. If you shoot mostly on a tripod or with fast shutter speeds, this lens delivers similar results for less.
- Does it work on DX-format Nikon bodies?
- Yes. On DX it behaves like a 36-105mm lens, which makes it a useful portrait and event zoom, though you lose the wide end.
- Does it have image stabilization?
- No. This version has no VR, so low-light handheld shooting depends on your shutter speed and ISO.
- What is the minimum focus distance?
- About 0.38 m at 35-50 mm, giving a maximum reproduction ratio of roughly 1:3.7. It is not a macro lens.
- What filter size does it take?
- 77 mm filters screw onto the front thread, a common size for pro Nikon zooms.
- Is it compatible with Nikon Z cameras?
- Only through the FTZ mount adapter, which keeps autofocus and metering but adds length to the setup.

- At Profotica, for $1,252.00, as of our latest check.
