Nikon AF-S Nikkor 24-70mm f/2.8E ED VR

The Nikon AF-S Nikkor 24-70mm f/2.8E ED VR adds image stabilization to the workhorse lens of many a professional photographer.

Optically stabilized design. Constant f/2.8 aperture. Quite sharp. Solid build.

Optically stabilized design. Constant f/2.8 aperture. Quite sharp. Solid build. ; Uneven illumination at f/2.8. Edge performance suffers at wide apertures. Some distortion. Premium price.

Conclusions The 24-70mm lens is the go-to zoom for most event and wedding photographers. It covers a wide angle for scene-setting shots, or for those times when you're close to the action and want to fill the frame. Zooming in turns it into a short...

Nikon AF-S Nikkor 24-70mm f/2.8E ED VR Review

The Nikon AF-S Nikkor 24-70mm f/2.8E ED VR delivers generally excellent image quality, a well-implemented Vibration Reduction system, fast auto-focus and top-drawer build quality and weather-proofing, but it is a big and heavy lens with an eye-watering...

Nikon 24-70mm f/2.8E ED VR AF-S Nikkor Review

Nikon's made some excellent progress with this lens. While image stabilization isn't a necessity with this focal length when it comes to shooting stills, it's certainly welcome, and when shooting movies, it is very handy indeed.

Nikon Nikkor AF-S 24-70 mm f/2.8E ED VR

The history of fast, standard zoom lenses of the Nikon system aimed at advanced photojournalists can be dated from the Nikkor AF-S 28–70 mm f/2.8D IF-ED which appeared on the market in 1999 and was produced for eight years. The demands of digital full...

excellent image quality in the frame centre ; good image quality on the edge of the APS-C/DX sensor ; better performance on the edge of full frame than that of its rivals ; slight longitudinal chromatic aberration ; low coma ; slight astigmatism ; not...

too high lateral chromatic aberration in the 24-45 mm range ; work against bright light could have been better

Nikon AF-S NIKKOR 24-70mm f/2.8E ED VR Review

John Riley reviews the new Nikon AF-S NIKKOR 24-70mm f/2.8E ED VR, which adds Vibration Reduction optical image stabilisation.

Excellent sharpness ; Beautifully made ; Fast and silent AF ; Sophisticated and effective VR ; Smooth bokeh

No weather resistance ; Flare into the light ; Some edge CA

This is a very impressive lens and a very desirable choice for Nikon users. It would be nice to add full weather resistance, although there is at least a gasket at the mount to prevent water entering the camera. There is very little to dislike and it...
