- Is it worth buying over the newer 24-70mm f/2.8E VR?
- The newer E VR version adds stabilization and is lighter, but this lens is built just as tough and is a strong value on the used market. Choose this one if you shoot on a tripod or at fast shutter speeds and want to save money.
- Does it work on DX-format Nikon bodies?
- Yes. On a DX body it behaves like a 36-105mm equivalent, which makes it a useful portrait and event zoom, though it is large for small cameras.
- Does it have image stabilization?
- No. This version has no vibration reduction, so you need steady hands or faster shutter speeds in low light.
- Is the autofocus fast enough for sports and weddings?
- Yes. The Silent Wave Motor focuses quickly and quietly, and owners use it for weddings, events and photojournalism.
- What comes in the box?
- Typically the lens, front and rear caps, and the HB-40 lens hood. Check the specific listing for included accessories.
- Will it autofocus on Nikon Z cameras with the FTZ adapter?
- Yes, AF-S lenses autofocus through the FTZ adapter on Z bodies, though the combo is front-heavy.
- Where is the Nikon AF-S FX NIKKOR 24-70mm f/2.8G ED Zoom Lens cheapest?
- At Newegg, for $1,274.95, as of our latest check.
