Our take on the Nikon AF-S Nikkor 24-70mm F/2.8G ED

The AF-S Nikkor 24-70mm f/2.8G ED is Nikon's classic fast standard zoom for full-frame F-mount DSLRs. It covers wide to short telephoto at a constant f/2.8, with two ED elements and three aspherical elements for sharpness and controlled color fringing, plus a Silent Wave Motor for fast, quiet autofocus. It suits event, wedding and reportage shooters who want one lens for most of a day. It is large and heavy, and the newer 24-70mm f/2.8E VR adds image stabilization and better edge sharpness, so this version is the value pick for F-mount bodies.

What reviewers say

Owners and reviewers rate it as a dependable workhorse: fast autofocus, good color and sharp centers, with the trade-offs of weight and soft corners at f/2.8. Many call it the standard zoom to beat on F-mount DSLRs.

What people mention
  • AutofocusPraisedOwners say the Silent Wave Motor focuses quickly and quietly, even in low light.
  • WeightCriticisedReviewers note it is heavy and front-heavy on smaller bodies, tiring for long handheld days.
  • SharpnessMixedCenters are sharp wide open, but corners sharpen noticeably only when stopped down.
  • BuildPraisedOwners describe a solid, weather-sealed barrel that holds up to professional use.
  • StabilizationCriticisedThere is no VR, so shooters rely on fast shutter speeds or support in dim light.

Questions and answers

Is it worth it over the newer 24-70mm f/2.8E VR?
The E VR version adds stabilization and sharper edges, but it is bigger and heavier. This G version is the better value if you shoot mostly in good light or use a body with good high-ISO performance.
Does it work on Nikon Z cameras?
Yes, through the FTZ mount adapter, with autofocus and aperture control. It is a DSLR lens, so it is larger than native Z zooms.
Does it have image stabilization?
No. It relies on fast shutter speeds or a stabilized body, which F-mount DSLRs do not have.
What is in the box?
The lens, front and rear caps, and the HB-40 lens hood. A soft case is not included.
Is it sharp wide open?
The center is sharp at f/2.8 and improves slightly stopped down. Corners are softer wide open and sharpen by f/5.6.
Is it good for portraits?
At 70mm and f/2.8 it gives moderate background blur, but a dedicated 85mm prime gives more separation.
Where is the Nikon AF-S Nikkor 24-70mm F/2.8G ED cheapest?
At Meteor (HK) Ltd., for $755.00, as of our latest check.
