The Nikon AF-S NIKKOR 24-70mm f/2.8E ED VR is a pro-grade standard zoom for Nikon full-frame DSLRs. It covers the 24-70mm range at a constant f/2.8, adds up to 4 stops of Vibration Reduction, and uses an electromagnetic diaphragm for consistent exposure during bursts. It is the heavier, stabilized successor to the older 24-70mm f/2.8G, and it suits wedding, event, press and portrait shooters who want one fast lens for most of a day. Owners value the sharpness and the VR; the main complaints are its size and weight and the cost of the front filter thread.

Owners and reviewers treat it as a dependable workhorse: sharp wide open, useful stabilization and fast, accurate autofocus. Most criticism centers on its weight and size and on sample variation reported by some early buyers.
The AF-S NIKKOR 24-70mm f/2.8E ED VR is a full-frame (FX-format) standard zoom lens with a fast f/2.8 constant aperture. It is designed to pair with Nikon full-frame high-resolution DSLRs. The focal range suits subjects such as environmental portraits, studio work, landscapes, architecture, press events and weddings.
Its optics combine a new Aspherical Extra-Low Dispersion (ASP/ED) element, a first for NIKKOR lenses, with AS, ED and HRI elements. This design keeps flare, ghosting, coma, and chromatic and spherical aberration low, even at the edges of the frame. The f/2.8 aperture allows faster shutter speeds, produces soft background blur and works well in low light. An electromagnetic diaphragm provides fast auto-exposure control.
Vibration Reduction image stabilization reduces camera shake by up to about 4.0 stops. This helps with sharp handheld stills and HD video, and with slower shutter speeds in low light. Fluorine coatings on the front and rear elements make cleaning easier. A rear rubber gasket helps keep moisture out.
