Nikon 24-70mm f / 2.8G ED AF-S N Nikkor review

Nikon 24-70mm f / 2.8G ED AF-S N Nikkor review

The Nikon N AF-S Nikkor 24-70mm 1: 2.8G ED NanoCrystalCoat SWM IF Aspherical is the legendary fast zoom lens. The Nikon 24-70mm f / 2.8G ED AF-S N Nikkor is a nanocrystalline monster that is ideal for a variety of photography needs. When buying a Nikon 24-70mm f / 2.8G ED AF-S N Nikkor, you can be sure that your money is not wasted, because the lens has 3 ED glass elements (Extra low dispersion) and 3 more aspherical elements ASP and one element with a nanocrystalline coating (NanoCrystal Coat, N).

Nikon 24-70mm f / 2.8G ED AF-S N Nikkor will work great on any Nikon digital SLR camera, since the Nikon 24-70mm N has a built-in SWM (Silent Wave Motor) focus motor. Nikon 24-70mm N can work on both Nikon FX full-frame cameras and Nikon DX cropped cameras. When using Nikon 24-70mm N on Nikon DX cameras EGF will fit 36-105mm.

Attention: Nikon DX cropped cameras may have difficulty creating shots that require a wide angle. because of crop factor on Nikon DX cameras, it is better to use DX lenses of the type 16-50mm, 16-55mm, 17-50mm, 17-55mm. For example, for cropped cameras Nikon DX is more suitable for a number of tasks 17-55mm f / 2.8G IF-ED AF-S DX Zoom nikkor. For the curious, I can say that the Nikon 24-70mm N field of view in the full frame of the Nikon FX will be the same as the 16-47mm lens on the Nikon DX crop.

The Nikon 24-70mm f / 2.8G ED AF-S N Nikkor has very fast autofocus. I was surprised by the focusing speed. Focusing is very quiet, there are very few focusing errors, and when an error occurs, the lens rebuilds very quickly. The lens has only one M / A - M switch. In the M / A mode, automatic focusing is available, and at the same time, you can correct or focus manually. In M mode, only manual focus is available.

In manual focusing mode, the focus ring rotates only 90 degrees, it is difficult to focus on focus. Most likely, the small stroke of the focusing ring is used for fast automatic focusing. Of course, the Nikon 24-70mm f / 2.8G ED AF-S N Nikkor has a focusing distance indicator from infinity to 38cm. It's funny, but MDF, which is only 38cm, can serve to get a meager macro 1 in 3,7. Nikon could easily add the 'Macro' prefix and add a couple of hundred dollars. in the cost of the lens.

Of course, the Nikon 24-70mm f / 2.8G ED AF-S N Nikkor has internal focus. As befits all professional lenses, when focusing, the front lens does not rotate and does not move back and forth. The front filter, too, has a professional large diameter of 77mm. In terms of focus, the Nikon 24-70mm f / 2.8G ED AF-S N Nikkor shows excellent performance.

The Nikon 24-70mm f / 2.8G ED AF-S N Nikkor lens has a metal mount and weighs quite a lot - about 900g (almost a kilogram). For Nikon 24-70mm f / 2.8G ED AF-S N Nikkor, professional Nikon cameras are best suited, with which the camera can maintain weight balance well. Sergey Svirida, who provided me with a lens for review, tried to shoot on Nikon D5100, the idea was bad in that the lens constantly outweighed the camera and rested on the stomach when the camera hung on a strap on its neck. I used Nikon 24-70mm f / 2.8G ED AF-S N Nikkor on the camera Nikon D700With it, the Nikon 24-70mm f / 2.8G ED AF-S N Nikko behaved very nicely.

The zoom (zoom) ring rotates 90 degrees, the ring rotates quite tight. When transporting the lens, the trunk of the lens does not protrude. The only small drawback of the lens is the exit of the trunk when zooming. Usually professional lenses of this class do not change their physical size when zooming, but the trunk of the Nikon 24-70mm f / 2.8G ED AF-S N Nikkor leaves just a little bit.

The Nikon 24-70mm f / 2.8G ED AF-S N Nikkor comes with a hood that can be worn backwards. The hood has a latch that locks into position on the lens.

Background blur on Nikon 24-70mm F2.8 N

Alternatives

The only native alternative is Nikon 28-70mm f / 2.8 D AF-S, all other lenses from third-party manufacturers. Often, under the alternative Nikon 24-70mm f / 2.8G ED AF-S N Nikkor gets a simple little old Nikon 24-85mm f / 2.8-4D AF IF Nikkoras well as a very popular replacement are Tamron AF 28-75mm f / 2.8 SP XR Di LD Aspherical (IF) and Sigma AF 24-70mm F2.8 EX DG HSM. There are also similar ones: Sigma AF 24-70mm F2.8 EX DG MACRO, Sigma AF 24-60mm F2.8 EX DG, Sigma AF 28-70mm F2.8 EX DG, Tokina AF 28-70mm f / 2.8. Seriously compete with the Nikon 24-70mm f / 2.8G so far can only Tamron 24-70mm F / 2.8 Di VC USD и Nikon 28-70mm f / 2.8 D AF-S. But still, after a day of using the Nikon 24-70mm f / 2.8G ED AF-S N, Nikkor is unlikely to want to use anything else.

Image Quality on the Nikon 24-70mm f / 2.8G ED AF-S N Nikkor

First of all, I would like to note the excellent sharpness in the center throughout the focal length range. The Nikon 24-70mm f / 2.8G ED AF-S N Nikkor is one of the few zoom lenses that comes close in sharpness to prime lenses at full aperture. The lens is resistant to backlight. The lens's only drawbacks are 24mm distortion and vignetting at open apertures. The lens gives good contrast and color reproduction. The bokeh of the lens is very nice and soft.

Nikon 24-70mm f / 2.8G ED AF-S N Nikkor sample photos

All photos were taken on a Nikon 24-70mm f / 2.8G ED AF-S N Nikkor and an APS camera Nikon D700 FX. All photos without processing, RAW -> JPEG, Q = 80%, reduced size to 2MP, data from EXIF. You can still see photo from a walk on the Nikon 24-70mm f / 2.8G ED AF-S N Nikkor and Zorkiy-4.

Personal experience

The Nikon 24-70mm f / 2.8G ED AF-S N Nikkor features a yellow thin border around the front lens - which means the 27-70mm N is a professional lens with the ultimate in build quality, image quality and value for money. The lens really deserves attention and is well worth the money. Some people say that the lens is heavy, but personally I did not feel tired of using the Nikon 24-70mm f / 2.8G ED AF-S N Nikkor at all, as I have to work with heavy photographic equipment every day. Weight is the price of versatility. It's funny, but a fifty-kopeck piece (50mm) can partially replace this Nikon 24-70mm f / 2.8G ED AF-S N Nikkor and get a better aperture. 50mm is the middle of the 24-70mm range, (24 + 70) / 2 = 47mm. With the hood on, the Nikon 24-70mm f / 2.8G ED AF-S N Nikkor looks very impressive. Also, Nikon 24-70mm f / 2.8G ED AF-S N Nikkor is one of three Nikon zoom lens icons:

  1. Nikon 14-24mm f / 2.8G ED AF-S N Nikkor
  2. Nikon 24-70mm f / 2.8G ED AF-S N Nikkor
  3. Nikon 70-200mm f / 2.8G ED VR II AF-S N Nikkor
Example photo on a Nikon 24-70mm f / 2.8G ED AF-S N Nikkor

Roughly speaking, having these three lenses, you can cope with any photographic task that requires a range of 14-200 mm, which is the most frequent and required operating range for a number of photographers. Nikon 24-70mm f / 2.8G ED AF-S N Nikkor is not in vain for wedding photographers, I myself know that at the wedding this Nikon 24-70mm f / 2.8G ED AF-S N Nikkor will be a very good working tool for the photographer. Actually, I recommend all Nikon 24-70mm f / 2.8G ED AF-S N Nikkor wedding photographers working on a full Nikon frame.

Comments: 226, on the topic: Review of the Nikon N AF-S Nikkor 24-70mm 1: 2.8G ED NanoCrystalCoat SWM IF Aspherical

  • Andrei

    I have 24-70f2,8 + D800. Pros of the lens: 1. Very fast autofocus. (In fixes, if there is a USM, it works there through a gearbox, as in 18-55kit, or Sigma x for example. In 24-70- " direct-drive ”motor-washer. (this one costs 105 F2,8) .2 the sharpness of the lens is comparable to prime lenses. 3.Impressive. Customers immediately“ respect ”.
    Minuses. 1. I started to wedge the lens 2 weeks after the purchase. -When the zoom ring was rotated somewhere by 50mm, there was almost a rattle. There was no time to take it to the service, after a couple of months it was developed. ”2. Sharpness is excellent, the picture is no .Fixes rule. On the d800 there is often a lack of grease-VRa catastrophically. Not trevel - if you think that the weight compensates for the vibrations, then the trembling of the hands after a couple of hours of work can no longer be compensated)))) And, of course, the notorious Nikon's rubber bands, about this and reluctance to write, everything slides after six months of INTENSIVE operation.

  • Paul

    d800, wedding photography, is it worth it to consider Tamron 24-70 VR when choosing? I heard that Tamron supports matrix resolution up to 20 megapixels, against Nikon's 16.

  • Vadim

    I am always surprised by the reviews on various sites about the legendary 24-70 / 2,8 lens. I have had this lens for a year now. I use it quite intensively. As for the construct - Nikon did not hold anything of the best of all the optics that passed through my hands. The zoom ring rotates very well and never rattled. Feeling .... Like clockwork goes in the literal sense of the word. The rubber bands are fine too. At one time, I encountered the problem of rubber bands at 17-55 / 2,8. But here it is worth considering that I took it B / Y and not first-hand. The lens (judging by the traces of exploitation) has survived enough stress. At 24-70 / 2,8, I don't have such a problem. Judging by Andrey's description, his copy was disassembled. I bought my lens from an authorized Nikon dealer in a store, with an official Nikon guarantee. Well, you yourself think how can Nikon produce top-end optics with such flaws? Yes, they would have flown into the pipe long ago! Now for the sharpness and picture. He has excellent both. By the way, I took in the store without testing the lens. I did not find any front and back - tricks on it in the future. Everything hits right on target. Ha! For that kind of money, it would still work badly !!! But, like many comrades, I am a photo-wanker at heart. And of course I tested my lens at various focal lengths and apertures. 70 mm. there is a decrease in the resolution of the lens. But this is only visible at high magnifications. Photos are sharp. Customers are very satisfied, but there is still a decline. You can, of course, rant on this topic a lot and for a long time. And most importantly, you need to understand that we have a top-end lens, professional level, but it is ZOOM. And that means he will have disadvantages in the optical scheme. And most importantly, is this what you want to compare it to? Recently I purchased a top-end Nikon FIX 35 / 1,4. And he began to compare it with 24-70 / 2,8. And 24-70 / 2,8 lost in almost all respects. And if I start comparing it with the rest of Nikon's ZOOMS, I won 24-70 / 2,8.

    • Sergei

      the design problem for Nikon 24-70 is well known. Changing the design means creating a new lens.
      yes, regarding Nikon 24-70 - don't forget about the field curvature - the specificity of the optical scheme ...
      Can Nikon release lousy top lenses? Yes maybe. here's another review of the lenstip of the new Nikon 58 1.4 for a frantic price showed that there is slag for crazy money.
      http://www.lenstip.com/397.1-Lens_review-Nikon_Nikkor_AF-S_58_mm_f_1.4G.html
      Nikon was joking all along, trying to sell you a rough piece of trash for a lot of money under a cover of a storied Nikon legacy. I really don't intend to torture the tested Nikkor any longer because it is not worth the time and trouble.

  • Vyacheslav

    And by the way about the sparks 24-70 and D5100, yes, it outweighs down, but with a triple it is not a frail plus, even with a fastened hood, even though the D5100 has its beak down, I had to remove UV a couple of times.

  • Anatoly

    I bought in "Svyaznoy" ordered on the Internet and came quickly, on the second day from the neighboring city of Surgut on the box cellophane sealed with a stencil "sealed" at opening there was an inscription on the other part of the package. I checked visually on the rear lenses there are something similar to small bubbles. all the same, the price was about 53200, but then, according to bonuses, a gift of 2 filters marumi 77 Uf turned out to be 53000r, I am satisfied with the work, I plan either 14-24 or 70-200vr2.

  • Igor Volkov

    Imagine, today in Svyaznoy but already in Samara I found two garbage cans under the back lens (looked through a magnifying glass) and did not buy it. This is what a marriage series for Russia. Or is that why the price fell on them?

  • Sergei

    Nikkor 24-70 2.8 in addition to the ceiling price and quality problems has a design defect in the zoom ring. it is possible that some of the new competitor lenses will be both cheaper and better:
    Tokina AT-X PRO 24-70mm f / 2.8 SD (IF)
    Tamron SP 24-70mm f / 2.8 Di VC USD $ 1300
    Sigma 24-70mm f / 2 OS HSM
    http://vmirefoto.blogspot.ca/2014/02/tokina-at-x-pro-24-70mm-f28-sd-if.html

    • Anatoly

      About Tokin 24-70.2.8, will it be "all-weather"?. I doubted to take Tokin 16-28.2.8, I want 14-24 nikkor, but I did not take 70-200.2.8vr2 in "Svyaznoy", but ordered in " Intellect photo "Ek.burg, for 72600 from the office of Gar 1 + 3years.

  • Arman

    zdrastvuyte..y menya nikon d300s, xochu kupit nikon 24-70 f / 2.8, skajite pojaluysta stoit li vzyat linzu ?? kak on budet debya vesti na nikon d300s? zaranie spasibo

    • Himself such

      I also like 24-70 and 14-24.14-24 more on the d7000 (like the d300s it is crop), I need it more on the set of celebrations, chronicles, reporting in tight rooms, add 200 rubles and buy it, you will not regret it. But IMHO.

  • he himself

    In the Russian Federation, 14-24 in Svyaznoy at a normal price and an official guarantee of 1 + 2, there you can order and test in a store without an advance payment, you do not like to dislike it.

    I have had a bundle for 6 years: D80 with a battery pack - Nikon 24-70. I can't say anything bad about the lens. Nimble, sharp. Before that there were AF Zoom-Nikkor 28-80mm f / 3.3-5.6G, AF Nikkor 50mm f / 1.8D, Nikon 70-300mm f / 4-5.6G AF, ​​Nikon 70-300mm f / 4.5-5.6G ED-IF AF-S VR, Nikon 24-120mm f / 3.5-5.6G ED-IF AF-S. I like 24-70. I put a Rodenstock 77mm UV HR Digital MC on it and haven't removed it for many years.

    I bought this glass, I use it on D700 and D7000 - I am happy as an elephant, at last I don't have to carry a few fixes with me. about the picture - half a dozen smoke, because the color rendition and detail of this lens is just class. the only drawback of the lens is no VR

      I agree to 100, push the stabilizer into it and he wouldn’t have a price.

    • Madness scif

      to my horror and chagrin - Nikon's illness manifested itself - the lens was only the second week after taking it from the store - and his rubber bands began to BLOW

  • Alexey

    I got it. Cool glass, especially if the user's arms are already straightened. Only the weight is strained in this gun - two hold, one removes - and the recoil, the whole cheek is blue;)) What to do, I won't put my mind to it

    Great lens. Worth the money.

  • jeepan

    Legend ... ..I just bastard with him .. Together with the D700 this is 2kg ... hands hang down by nightfall, considering that there is also puffing from above ... but no-KA-ki-E inconveniences overshadow this song ... 24-70 TOP !!!

      train your hands

    When buying this lens, you need to go to sporting goods for dumbbells.

  • Alexander. Experience 8 years.

    I agree with all the positive reviews, I can add that when I fell onto the concrete floor I remained the winner of the d-7000, only the filter broke. Due to the rubber bands, I immediately wrap all the lenses with black electrical tape.

    • anonym

      Good idea. especially if you start to wind the adhesive base out, and at the end to wind as usual, so as not to wash off the glue. Thank you for the idea.

  • Alexander. Experience 8 years.

    To the positive said, I’ll add about its strength. 2 times fell from the shoulder onto the concrete floor, only the filter broke. Nikon d-7000 also remained intact. I wrap the elastic bands on all the lenses from the store with black PVC tape.

      Yes, it's a fake. Bait, the Chinese just really need money for further reproduction

  • Anna

    Hello! Need a consultation - there is a Nikon D80, I want to buy a lens for work - weddings, children's photo shoots .. tell me which one to buy? Will a Nikon 24-70mm lens fit my camera?
    f / 2.8G

    • Arkady Shapoval

      Nikon 24-70mm f / 2.8G will do, but better get a Nikkor 17-55 / 2,8 :)

    • Sergei

      With such a cost for a lens, you can give up d80 to d7000 or 7100, I got sick of d80 with “color” photos, the last ones are more pleasant and with color balance and grain at ISO above 400

    Your selection of subjects does not allow you to evaluate either the drawing or the quality of the lens. Sorry, but you have no experience in testing lenses, your ideas about the quality of optics are very naive, and you are not alone in this torment of speculation on very difficult topics. On the vastness of our Internet there is a huge amount of information from “not quite competent” experts in photographic equipment, what can you do - “democracy”.
    In order not to be unfounded, I can tell you that the portrait bokeh is difficult to evaluate from pictures with a large increase in the near small object (almost macro), in this approximation almost any lens provides good background blur. Also, do not take a portrait in tests against the background of remote branches, foliage, etc., illuminated by bright light, because in this case, on the contrary, practically no lens will create decent bokeh.
    Wish you luck!

      Arkady is not God with us. But he tries to help newcomers and does something !! What did you create? Or why didn’t the wife give you or the husband didn’t satisfy you, they decided to give a little shit? Leaving criticism for myself, this site is not ideal, but for that reason the author makes him a huge respect. Also, I was from the village at the edge of the forest.

      Arkady thank you so much for your work. You have helped me a lot and not just me, and let nothing spoil your good mood !!!

      • Alexey

        just one word: ABC book! INTO. that's it. my grandmother's cat is more literate. and some phrases - "the wife did not give." and this person is interested in top-end professional lenses. nonsense. this is not your destiny, comrade, your vocation is a locksmith maximum

      • Mark

        It is such enthusiastic ignoramuses who instill confidence in amateurs in their own genius. Some review, others praise. I hope that in 9 years this idiot has either learned to write and think, or has forgotten how to type on the keyboard.

    • Konstantin

      To be a critic…. I'm sorry you are not even a critic but just to talk something. First, show your work done in something and then lead the conversation. Be simpler, do not envy!

      • Alexey

        From the guys who do “INTO that” and their lovers, the counter most often arrives, presenting “First, show your work done”. extremely stupid, even stupid, no, BLUNKING point of view. here I do not know how to bake cakes, but I can recognize a cake that the cook has failed, which is shit. but the fact that I can't bake better won't make this bad cake better!
        And now I don’t cling to Arkady at all (he’s done well, at least because of the amount of work done, although in half of the cases at least there really isn’t enough photos to evaluate the lens, like a demo review, but now it's not about him).
        Do not confuse absolute and relative values! A review is a review, it must be complete and of high quality or strive for it. And idolizing any review, even a bad one, is stupid because he himself did not even do this - this is a sign of a weak mind

  • aleks58579

    few photos in the review ate can add a couple at a wide angle.

  • Bogdan

    Great lens. It’s worth the money. I rent them 2 years. Satisfied with the purchase. I do not consider the problem of gum as an Achilles heel. Just take buy a new one and there is no problem. It is not expensive. But where to buy it in Ukraine ??? Maybe someone knows, share the information.

  • Vadim

    I bought a thoroughbred Japanese. Two years ago.
    I'm not satisfied with the lens. Yes, this is a "workhorse", but no more.
    Slowly I close the range with fixes, I'm not going to sell, but I do not really want to use it either.

  • Vyacheslav

    And what is this glass?
    Nikon Nikkor 24-70 mm F / 2.8 SWM AF-S M / AG

    You have not described, but people are selling! At what not expensive.
